Nah, it really needs to be portraits. Most avatars are portraits. (or at least something remotely like a portrait )Done. Chose landscape for wall art because there needs to be a painting with a sunset.
As long as you're participating, there is no shame in it!Didn't know about this until now. I took the survey. It's a shame that I couldn't pledge.

What would you like the name of the inn/tavern to be? (Please keep under 30 characters)
Golden Ale Fellowship
· What would you like the innkeeper's name to be? (Please keep under 30 characters)
Levi van Erol
· In 50 words or less, describe the basic concept of what the innkeeper.
An old retired mercenary that decided he had seen enough death for several lifetimes. He decided that making coin in an inn is safer and he's less likely to end up with his guts spilled out on the ground. Pretends to be a simple man, but those who know him...
· In 50 words or less, describe the basic concept of what the inn/tavern. E.g.: "High class inn where nobles and important business men meet to discuss future deals."
The Golden Ale Fellowship is an inn for nobles and wealthy businesses men, but anyone with decent enough clothing and a purse full of coins is welcome as long as they behave. In here many alliances have been forged and many contracts sealed: assassinations, arranged marriages, and other secret contracts.
· In 75 words or less, describe the appearance of the inn/tavern. E.g.: "High end furniture with lots of polished metal fittings are neatly arranged in the main room. The walls are draped with fine art and the whole place has a feeling of class and sophistication."
The biggest Inn in the city, it houses some of the finest furniture from all around the world. Almost all of them with intricate patterns in different colors. The white walls are decorated with portraits of important people from history and banners of many kinds. There are VIP rooms in the back that are always booked, it seems. These backrooms are simpler with wooden couches and tables. These rooms are not used for their comfort.
· In 100 words or less, describe the concept for the history of the inn/tavern. E.g.: "The tavern was founded by Jonas Sayne, a merchant from a noble background. Realizing that Defiance Bay lacked a place for the rich and powerful to meet to discuss business, Sayne commissioned the creation of The Discreet Gentleman in the business friendly Copperlane disctrict. It is rumored a backroom of the tavern houses an entrance to the city jail dungeons.
Having ended his mercenary career at the age of 34, Levi and some of his men bought an empty building in the Market District. It had previously belonged to a former nobleman. Thinking about what sort of clientele he was looking for, he came to the conclusion that it would be very likely that many of his former employees would do business there. The reason being that he was known to be a very discrete man, something that cant be said about mercenaries in general. And so it came to be that the Golden Ale Fellowship was founded four years ago.
haha. this is amazing. xDSeveral guards roam around, both gritty veterans (e.g. The Bishop, hammer-wielding paladin) and soft-spoken scholars (e.g. the cipher Stump the Nine-Fingered and wizard Nirolak the Splitter), ready to mediate arguments or defenestrate the patrons if necessary.
UPDATE 2: Naming the Inn:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2GBGWMM
Have a unique and awesome name for GAF Inn? Please fill in the survey!
Try to avoid memes and something that is more of a phase. Something that is everlasting is definitely preferred. Everyone is welcome to provide the name.
The Top 5 names will be selected, which will be polled in a week.
Good luck!
In a quiet side street sits an inn. A jagged line divides the greystone bones of the damaged lower level from the once-perfect russet stucco exterior of the upper floor.
An adventurer steps inside, to find a menacing doorman with crazy eyes. "Are you a member?" he demands impatiently. "Only members allowed. "
"Yes", replies the adventurer.
"Password?" Asks the doorman.
"The lore reeks of evil."
"Very well, enter. But watch yourself. You don't want me to have to throw you out."
The adventurer enters the main room of the inn. A single candle illuminates each round table, and a small space around it. As the adventurer walks to the bar, he hears small snippets of debate. Each table seems to have a group passionately arguing a different subject. He passes on, not wishing to get involved.
Suddenly the noise level increases around one table. "You idiots are wrong!" Screams a patron. "I have personal knowledge showing my rectitude! " He feels a breath on the back of his neck and spins around to find his throat held in a steady grip. "Show me your proof", whispers the doorman. As the entire crowd quietly watches the offender being cast into the street on his head, murmers are audible. "Never mess around where the Bishop can hear."
Not having played my copy of Baldurs Gate, I'm not sure on the flavor of dialogue that's appropriate.
So uhhh, how will you select the top 5 names if everyone just tosses in their own names? Are you just gonna count up the ones that sound similar or just select it based on what you think sounds good?
I'm the one who suggested it, I'm glad people like it.Submitted my entry, but just would like to point out that I didn't come up with it - it's something suggested from way back in a previous Gaf Inn thread.
Just want it to win
Yeah, I am probably going to filter the names and let people vote on it. Thanks for pitching in the ideas, y'all!Put together a new survey with all the suggested names and have people vote that way.
Name of the inn:
The Golden Ale Fellowship Inn.
In going to tally it up tomorrow.Filled both surveys. Is there any way to see other suggestions/current results?
Nah, it really needs to be portraits. Most avatars are portraits. (or at least something remotely like a portrait )
