The Twinkling Stars Tavern is a (Homebrew) Spelljammer Ship sailing through the cosmos. She offers fine food, luxurious rooms and a smooth ride for however long you stay, for free. But you can't just walk onto the Twinkling Stars, oh no. The ship has a strange quirk where she randomly teleports people from different universes onto her main deck. You might have a teacher in the middle of teaching a class teleported here, a soldier in the middle of battle teleported here, or even someone seconds away from hitting the ground after falling of a cliff! This is the only way on. There are other ways to get off though...
Rules:
1. No PVP without permission from both people playing the characters. If that is agreed to, then PVP may occur outside but no such fighting may happen inside the Ship.
2. If you wish to have an encounter or something similar, let's talk about it over in PMs and I will see if I can run it.
3. Please do not use overly vulgar language (such as repeated swearing or the f%&@ word)
4. Respect people!
5. If an argument gets out of hand, there is always PMs to talk about it so it doesn't clutter up the main thread.
6. Please keep things appropriate and go easy on any gorey details or any brutal actions. This also includes 18+ scenes or content (Fade to black/suggestive scenarios). We are not aware of the age of thread participants or how comfortable they are with it, so please keep things down and be mindful of these kinds of things. If you and other players would like to do things like this, please take it to a PM.
7. Please go easy on quote chains for ease of mobile users. If someone has very long chains, please let them know in a respectful way.
8. Have fun!
I took inspiration for the rules from the Untold Tales of Café [REDACTED] (SCP Tavern), so thank you pallghost.
Lore:
The Twinkling Stars Spelljammer ship is the best off all of Intelligent lifes creations. It was Created by the greatest engineers around the galaxy for the F.L.U.F.F. (the Futuristic Life of Unity Free Forever) After they won the great war. It has solar sails, Eldritch thrusters and cannons, a Prismatic Wall shield, It's as big as the 007 Asteroid, (11.9 km across) and has Air and gravity control along with many other features. It was powered by an Rolls Royce Engine, (the latest model) Which at its heart held a Singularity. The most powerful Wizards in the land had managed to extract this Singularity from a black hole, and after the Artificers did much testing on it, it looked like it was just a object of immense power which just gave of tonnes and tonnes of free Energy. So they put It in the Engine. Then came the day of dread. It was the Twinkling stars first voyage, and everything was going smoothly. It was getting a little cold on deck, so the captain turned up the heating. This is done by turning a little dial in the control room. What happens is depending on how far you turn the dial, it tells the Engine to send more or less power to the heating systems. Then a few hours later, everyone agreed that it was too hot, so they sent a crew mate to go and turn it down. But everyone was a little drunk, including this here crew mate. So it didn't take much for him to fall over and Break the tube connecting the Engine to the heating systems. The tubes have a safety mechanism that automatically powers then down when they are broke so no one gets shocked by them. The crew mate got up, had a look at the tube, and said to himself, "That should turn off the heating" and walked away chuckling. It may have turn of the heating, but It didn't turn off the Engine. All that extra power it was creating was no longer going to the heating systems, so it instead doubled back on itself and headed back to its source. This caused the Engine to overheat, and everything went wrong from there. The singularity started letting off wild magic causing most of the ship to malfunction, and the F.L.U.F.F. control center lost all communications with it. Nobody knows what happened to the ship or the crew there after...

Enjoy! : )
Revised lore:
The Twinkling Stars Tavern has now gone into rest mode. It has drifted with no activity for a few months, until now. It has docked up, without any help from crewmates, at the floating isle inn. Any characters you had here before can be transferred to this new tavern. Click here to go to it.
A confused-looking minotaur appears. He wears deep red clothing and holds a crossbow in one hand, aiming ahead. Yelping, he jumps back, glancing around. “Wha-where am I?”
A small black kitten with green eyes blinks into existence three feet above the minotaur's head. It falls onto the ground and mews, clearly confused.
Suddenly, the kitten morphs into a female elf holding a scimitar. "What just happened, and who is this minotaur?"
"Ah, new guests!" Says a reasonably tall dwarf. He shakes both your hands vigorously. He's wearing a black and white Tuxedo that doesn't really go with his red hair and long beard, which almost touches the floor. "You won't be needing those down here," He says as he takes your Weapons with inhuman (or indwarf) strength. "I'll take them to your quarters. Now to your question. This, my friends, is the Twinkling stars Tavern, the greatest vessel to ever sail the seven stars."
He steps back to let you two see the full extent of the deck you just arrived on. You're standing on what looks like wood, but because of its shine you suspect it's something else. The walls are basically just massive windows with pastel blue metal bars strengthening them at 10m intervals, and the roof is tinted glass, but the stars still shine through it. At one end of the deck there is a fancy looking flight of stairs. In the middle of the deck there's a fountain shaped like a planet, with little devices that look like flying boats going round it, and at the far end of the deck there is a little raise in the floor and on top of this raise is a steering wheel that looks like one that you might see on a ship back where you come from. "This vessel was the pride and joy of the F.L.U.F.F. Fleet," says the dwarf "But after a tiny accident we had a few hundred years back, it has become a floating tavern sailing through the cosmos."
"Any way, my names Ralffolonos exserbieus, but everyone just calls me Ralf. What can I call you?"

Hey! Kinda all or nothing on the forums lately, please excuse me for being late to most parties.
"Nict to meet you Ara." replies Ralf. "Is there anywhere in particular that you would like to go on this here vessel, or should I just take you to your quarters?"

"Of course." Ralf then turns to look at the minotaur. "And what about you, mister... ?"

*i am. not sure if you still are*
I like planes.
A thri-kreen appears. His carapace is a deep purple, and magical light is surrounding his hands, as if that of a spell. He looks around coolly.
(Also I LOVE this idea/lore)
