Community design

Build an online community with identity, rituals, and shared places.

Every group has its own places, people, rules, rituals, and history. Taverns gives those pieces a home they can shape.

  • A recognizable front door
  • Rooms that shape behavior
  • Rituals that bring people back

Arrival matters

Every world needs a front door

A Tavern gives the community a name, visual identity, invite, rules, and starting hall. New members should understand where they arrived and what kind of people gather there.

That first impression is not decoration alone. It sets expectations for tone, purpose, and how someone begins participating.

Architecture for conversation

Rooms shape behavior

  • Text halls

    Hold ongoing conversation around a shared subject.

  • Voice halls

    Create drop-in spaces for games, work, watch parties, or quiet company.

  • Announcement halls

    Give important updates a dependable home.

  • Forum halls

    Preserve guides, questions, art, projects, and discussions that need structure.

  • Roles and permissions

    Make public gathering spaces, private rooms, staff areas, and age-restricted sections.

Show what the place values

Atmosphere turns a layout into a recognizable home

Chat and member-list backgrounds, gradients, fonts, colors, and hall icons let owners create a recognizable environment through a structured theme system. Members get expression without exposing everyone to unsafe arbitrary styling.

People make the world

Inhabitants need identity, and rooms need rituals

Profiles, display-name styling, avatar decorations, backgrounds, emoji, stickers, and GIFs help members become recognizable characters in the community's ongoing story.

Events, recurring discussions, announcements, polls, forum guides, and community rules give people reasons to return. A space becomes a place when members know what happens there.

Extend the world

Shared destinations can grow beyond the Tavern

Wonders are player-created games, hangouts, and worlds. Approved creators can build and publish them through separately distributed desktop tooling.

A Tavern does not automatically include a linked Wonder. Start with the community you already have, shape its rooms, publish a theme, and invite the regulars. Strong worlds begin with people and habits before terrain.
