So after an informal straw poll, this is next on the agenda for us:
It was the surprising winner in a list that included Savage Pathfinder, D&D5e, Blades in the Dark, and more.
Tonight, we made The Blind Rhino, a neutral ground tavern frequented by the criminal underworld. Nearly hidden down the alley of a city street, the tavern has a long standing tradition of turning a blind eye to the unsavory dealings and negotiations of the clientele.
It is owned by a Rhinotaurian (basically a humanoid rhino) who also serves as the bouncer, named Rick. People who don't know any better assume he's just the muscle, but he keeps the books straight and makes sure business is taken care of. He also *hates* humans.
The hostess/bartender is a Panguri named Talla. Panguri are cat-people, and her family comes from a long line of bartenders (the females of the family, anyway). She's the public face of the bar, in that she handles frontline customer service...if she can find a resolution to a problem, it's better for everybody. If Rick has to get involved...
The cook is Jabu, a squirrel-like Pooka who also tends the bar's enchanted rooftop garden. He believes that the right dish can change a being's soul.
Among their regulars are an humanoid bird type that does handyman work around the bar in exchange for not having his tab called in, and a Furbolg merchant who does minor magic tricks in the bar for drinks.
On one hand, it's going to be an unusual campaign for us. On the other, we did lots of screwing around in ETU, so it won't be a super weird fit. Everyone seems pretty excited. I plan on winging it every session...just throwing weird situations at them and letting them work through it. The Tiny D6 system is super light, so GM prep is a breeze in that regard.
