OP
Your skin tingles as a thrum of magic permeates the air within the wooden walls of the tavern. The vibration seems unnoticed by some, but you are quick to identify other adventurers in the room looking equally uncertain, as they attempt to rub away the goosebumps creeping up their arms. You inhale, driven to voice your detection of this shift in energy, but the words seem to stall in the back of your throat. You mouth silent exclamations as all sound in the bar becomes muted, only the shared confusion of the others hinting this deafness has not befallen you alone.
The floorboards begin to shudder against the nails restraining them. From the ceiling, thin cascades of dust tumble from the long wooden rafters, but seem to freeze mid-air before reaching the ground. The walls of the tavern pulse slowly, bowing in and out with the rhythm of your own breathing. For the briefest of moments your fingers feel as though they are tapping against the buttons of an infernal contraption, fingers dancing in an arbitrary repetitive cadence. As quickly as the thought slid through your mind, the sensation abates and leaves you wondering whether you had imagined it.
A brisk pop sends sound coursing back through the world, the plumes of dust regaining their velocity and pouring over the floorboards which again lay still. You leap up from your seat, determined not to be caught off-guard by whatever magical threat looms, but your hand falls limply from your weapon as you notice behind the counter now stands a large penguin in a dress, wearing a necklace adorned with various crystals. The previous barkeep is nowhere to be seen.
The penguin gracefully makes an arcane gesture, as if weaving a web between each of the adventurers within the room and you feel yourselves becoming more deeply connected in some way. Simultaneously, the sign outside the tavern where the golden griffin had glimmered in the sunlight shifted and changed form. Now in it's place, sparkling with a glow that immediately brings a sense of familiarity and belonging, hung a platinum penguin.
This tavern is now The Platinum Penguin.

This thread is being repurposed slightly from it's original intent. This will not be a recruitment thread in any way, but rather a place for people to continue to role-play in character whether they're part of an active campaign or not, and even if they have no intent of joining a full campaign. If you would like to participate and find a persona that feels fitting for you, we welcome you to come join any discussion. There'll be no fighting here, no need for skill checks, etc. Just good vibes.
I will be putting up another thread more akin to Vash's for actual recruitment in my campaign shortly.}}

 | You have had Telepathic Bond cast on you by the new innkeeper. This powerful spell, while generally lasting only 1 hour, feels like it could keep you connected to others for decades. This will enable you to speak freely with others in this environment, whether you are engaged in your own adventures or have journeyed to distance continents. |
This tavern is now The Platinum Penguin.

It works for me - but check out the character creation discussion thread in the dnd forum. It wasn't loading the first few pages for me. Tried all the different ways to access it too.
OP
Actually, yeah. That would explain why I was getting a blank page trying to check on a reaction notification.
Last time that happened was while @Lee was tweaking templates for the character name/avatar. My guess would be an attempt to rig up the dialog color broke something.
I wouldn't necessity think it would try to reapply that to prior posts too, but that's the best I could guess. If so, maybe because I added a spoiler tag to the first post? I'd test that sticking another in but don't really want to break this thread page too if so. I'll try elsewhere in a little bit.
(Obviously this post worked fine.)
OP
Hmm. Now to go through each and every modification and disable then re-enable them. I'll do that when I get to my desk later
OP
Time to delete all badges, you say?
But that makes sense, I guess. Hopefully they get back at you quickly.
Alternately, I wonder if we could tweak it to hide the badges under the "more" link, and whether that would fix the entire page exploding.
It's possible, but I get the feeling that it would still mess with things, since it's all loaded in at the same time.Time to delete all badges, you say?

Nope, I'm still seeing a blank page.
OP
I also still get the blank page, but only on page 1. Badges are working fine on subsequent ones, which is odd.
No fair, I wanna' see page 1, too!!
No idea what's causing this, hopefully it's an easy fix.
I've only found the one so far, but there was another mentioned above
OP
I've only noticed it in threads here, so it might be related to the edits we made for D&D.
Same in here:
Discussion - Tavern: The Wary Wolf
What's the availability of healing potions and such? Autocorrect wanted to make it hearing potions, which I guess isn't too weird in a DnD setting...
gwforums.com
I’m on iPad atm, but if you put developer tools on in your browser do you get any console errors?
also this is blank for me too.
No errors in console at all
Yay, we're not crazy
Yeah, sort of hoping Ozzy comes back with something...others are reporting errors, but completely different from this.
Last night, I was having issues with the reactions not wanting to load or taking forever to load. Also started having an issue when clicking a notification it was just taking me to the start of the thread. I saw somebody say something about things working better with the default theme, so I changed from Greywinners back to default and have no issues other than when clicking on those links I too get a blank page.
OP
Ok, dumb idea time since this is going to be a more casual, fun thing outside of the usual taverns and definitely away from the campaigns...
Just wondering if, now that this is purely a social inn/tavern, if we shouldn't have an NPC in the vein of Norm from Cheers to pop in routinely to imbibe and be a mainstay in the tavern. Comedic effect and the ability to "chat" with him just for random situations...who knows, the brain is in a strange place right now and the thought of a little drunk always around was funny.
Crystal runs and hides from her stupidity.

I definitely used Cheers! in my prompt for the redone image in the first post. So, yes.Ok, dumb idea time since this is going to be a more casual, fun thing outside of the usual taverns and definitely away from the campaigns...

Cursed option:

100%.The more you look at the cursed one, the more weird shit you see!
OP
That's the halfling strapped to his back, like C-3PO and Chewie.
Checks out.
Looks like the Eastern Europe version of Mario Kart...
@The Flame makes me think Kat is posting and @Benzine makes me think he is posting hyperlinks
OP
Crystal serves Ben Zine 3 beers.
My deepest apologies, hon. Have three beers on me.
Thank you, I appreciate it. I am forever in your debt.
Zine walks over to an empty booth with his 3 and a half beers.
One moment Dude hon.
Crystal disappears into the back of the tavern and returns with a bowl full of lettuce.
Enjoy Dude hon.
Crystal smiles
