Okay, so we always need somewhere to chat out of character, don't we? :P
Anyway, the whole premise of this idea goes back to my origins of online roleplaying. I started in a chat room, where the central location was a tavern. Whatever character you were playing, or wanted to play, you'd just walk in and interact with whoever was online at the time.
Which led to a lot of fairly mundane 'bar conversation' scenes, but it also led to the formation of a lot of different group adventures and stories, and forging some fantastic in-character relationships. It was a lot of fun.
Hopefully, it'll work here, I know we're in a different format being in an online forum, but we'll see how it goes.
For that reason, as well, I'll give GM access to everyone - which means that individual threads can be created for those little adventures that might form; and allows everyone the chance to add to their "Character Closet".
