Why thank you my good sir, I don't know what came over me there. I feel much better now, thank you.

I had an idea for a thread that's basically like the Taverner's dictionary and/or guide to the RP threads. Thing is that for the dictionary part there's not much slang on the forums, and for the guide I don't really know what advice to give.

I doubt a dictionary is needed. What would to RP threads before? We already have this thread to discuss roleplay.
I was looking through my docs and was considering making a tavern based on one of my settings: Mal Appetit, a diesel/biopunk setting where the Great Ones are hedonists and humanity serves them in order to gain eldritch power.
Basically, here's the setting:
Sense-freak Great Ones gave all sides biotech and eldritch knowledge in trade for mortal delicacies during not-WW1, which had been going on for hundreds of years. The war just ended, and all the mutants, undead, and homunculi are looking for a new purpose. The culinary arts are big since biotech allows food to be grown and altered at an incredible rate. Also because the Great Ones are willing to take libation from anyone, not just world leaders or generals.
All magic in the setting comes from one of two sources: the occult art of Libation, which involves feeding spirits (or in this case, Great Ones) in order to gain their strength, or just regular occultism, casting spells from grimoires and relics. Sorcerers are also a thing, but they're very rarely born naturally.
The Great Ones are god-like beings who are advanced far beyond what mortals can even comprehend, possibly because they have an entire spacial dimension we can't even reach without them removing us from the earth, the solar system, and just about everything we know. There are eight especially powerful and well-known Great Ones: Sytosc (a critic), the six Vice Chefs (who serve the next one on our list), and the One Above All, which is so powerful it might as well be a big G god.
The tavern itself will be an enormous moving building made out of several tanks and ice cream trucks, becoming a mobile bar/ice cream parlor that serves anyone and everyone. I'm still working on it, and I need a tavern-keeper, but it should be pretty cool, heh.

I really like the magic system you have here. Libation is pretty creative. How exactly does it work? Does the magic user eat the food themselves to feed their spirit? Do they bring it to their spirit or teleport it magically somehow? What does feeding a Great One look like?
Also, are there vampires and how do they work? I have a character idea but I want to make sure it fits.
I understand if any of this information is confidential.

In real-world Libation, you cast the food to the ground. I liked the eating idea, though. They channel a Great One and eat the food in order to petition it for the power they need.
Vampires would probably be creations of Vice Chef Herdta, and would be created through a fungal infection that makes its victims dependent on either fermented foods or blood (it's one hunger, but they choose how to feed it). Vampires eat a lot of cheese and drink a lot of booze, despite it being illegal.

Hey does anyone wanna make a coven of witches as characters for… basically any tavern?
I would be interested.
Alrighty! I was thinking we could sort of have a coven… theme? Idk
That would make sense. Another thing to think about is a goal. What sort of purposes does this coven work together towards.
Do you have any possible theme ideas? The first few that pop in my head are mountains, reptiles, insects, desert, poverty, famine, art, music, trolls, five senses, or garden life. These are all super random, I'm just shooting out ideas.
Also most covens need at least three members. It could be fun to experiment with more though.

I was thinking maybe something like times of day or different forms of art. Each witch could specialize in a different type of magic related to one of those things.

I didn't realize you drew from real world sources -- nice!
The connection to fermented foods is neat. I might have to reconfigure my character, but this means he'll be even more of a hillbilly which is always great (unless it doesn't fit with your world of course).
Are the Vice Chefs like gods or kings or what? Would they be served or simply respected by their creations or something else entirely?

Different forms of art would be easier, but different times of day is intriguing.

Yeah I got the idea from Baba Yaga’s three horseman, which control the times of day in her forest.

Hillbillies are very common. Moonshining and all that. 1930s, my man! Everything is sh*t!
The Vice Chefs are particularly great Great Ones, and are effectively the leaders of what we know as Great One society. They are effectively gods to the thriving occult and metahuman communities. They each have their own sort of rituals and rites associated with them, while most other Great Ones will just accept any offering regardless of preparation.

Moonshining is exactly what I was thinking. I have had a strange desire to play a moonshine character recently and this seems perfect.
One more question (probably), what about lycanthropes? How do they fit into this world?

I came up with how werewolves worked a long time ago, even before I worked on the setting.
They're hillbillies (or mobsters) pretty much by definition. They group up in families led by the eldest in the group, and they only infect creatures that marry into it. Their transformative venom is a gift from Volstadt, their patron Vice Chef, who they serve by holding barbecues using the animals (or, rarely, people who threatened the family) that they hunt.
They are more likely to use firearms than just claws and bites, and they use knives, barbed wire, chainsaws, and whatever else they want. They're immune to nonmagical damage, so who's gonna stop them?

That's from Kobold's Press right? Not from actual mythology, unless I'm mistaken. I just want to make sure because if it is from mythology I have to go and research it immediately.
Nothing is occurring to me for a particular theme right now. The times of day theme is cool, how would it manifest?

However, vampires would be significantly stronger and faster than regular humans.
If they don't feed, they start to sort of degrade into basically a Nosferatu.
