  • Teach, don't tease
  • Do not steal pictures.
  • Please take adult content to adult game rooms.
  • Keep personal issues personal.
  • Remember, we are here to have fun.
    • Gaming Thoughts
  • All powerful is often all boring. Take a hit, and milk it for story line attributes.
  • People often refuse to play to all powerful characters.
  • Spells are more fun if you have to find, buy, borrow or steal the components.
  • Careless cast spells can wreck havoc on other characters. Use that in your games.
  • If you die, the quest for someone to raise you can give your friends some great games.
  • If you die, you could just end up in "another reality" or another plane of existence.
  • Working through challenges is more fun solving it with a mere snap of a finger.
  • If you play a creature with god-like powers, your DM will play a creature that can destroy the gods.

    Map of the Tavern
    The following was created by a player of the original Nia's Tavern back when WBS was new. It was given as a gift to Sky. It is not necessarily 100% accurate in its portrayal of the tavern, but it is a beautiful work of art, and it does give you a general idea of the elegance of the tavern
