I'm trying to remember which of my old RPs wound up in Tharbad.

I'm more inclined to just have people start an inn they think is good. If it clicks, good. If it don't, no loss. So what if there is more than one? I'm guessing there are only a hand full of people interested in roleplaying? I wouldn't want any momentum to do this bog down in the decisionmaking about the year, location, etc. Don't mind a generic inn that doesn't state a year or location, but I find they get a bit AUish (Alternate Universe).
