Please note: World's End Tavern appears to be inactive at this time. The following text remains in the hope that this Roleplay Group resumes.
Worlds' End Tavern (Current Status: Inactive)
Worlds' End Tavern is a mission-based RPG group initated by Pugs, Revenancer and darcsabre. It is very similar to the other earlier PoxNora RPGs. Worlds' End consists of the Mission Authors (also known as DMs), who create and run "missions", and the players, who create "parties of adventurers" and use them to play in missions.
The missions are basically PoxNora games with specific objectives other than smashing the opponent's shrine. For example, a mission may ask the adventurers to fight a "mad sorceror" or to collect "enchanted shrubberies". The missions are usually run in the "Anything Goes" section of PoxNora. Completion of a mission will give the player some "gold" and "fame" which can be used to expand or upgrade their parties. Information of missions are posted at the Worlds' End webboard.
The parties of adventurers or parties are a group of champion runes, equipment, and spells employed by players. A typical begining party has 3-5 champions and 1-2 equipment or spells. Parties are the only runes allowed to be played in missions. Worlds' End players enjoy making up background for the characters in their party and get somewhat attached to their characters. In addition, many people keep journals of the history of their parties and post them in the webboard as fan fictions. Party profiles and history, known as the "party sheets", are maintained at the Worlds' End webboard.
The story concept of Worlds' End Tavern is that it is a meeting place for beings of all kinds to come and share stories of their travels between adventures. The idea being that interested players post their party here and edit it to keep a record of their adventuring party. Unlike earlier RPGs, where each party had to be rebuilt between chapters or different campaigns, Worlds' End Tavern will provide the mechanism to make ongoing adventuring parties possible.
The campaign uses very different rules to a normal pox game, and while many rules are similar to the typical PoxNora RPG rules, others are different and several runes have their own special rules.
Single Player Campaign (Feature)
PoxNora contains single player campaigns, the feature description is listed as:
Practice your strategy against our Bots. Soon, you will have a chance to hone your Battlegroup configurations against our AI opponents. We will even be offering unique single-player campaigns.
Whilst this is not roleplaying as such, a single-player campaign will be a welcome addition for those of us who like a bit of roleplay in our wargame.
