Murphy's Law check in

With each group a new bar/club/meeting ground is born.

If I have it planned for the meet to get ugly I take them to one of the old places that we've created.

If I don't have it planned to get ugly I'll have the meet set at a place out of the Seattle Sourcebook.

There is always "The drunken Elf", a seedy bar in the redlight district. There is always one, whereever the player are. It's name changes with the local language (So most of the times it's the "Zum betrunkenen Elf") and the bar is always the same:

+ Bad lighting, smoke and a general "could use a cleaning" feel
+ The slightly "slimy" looking elf barkeeper that uses the same old rag to wipe the bar and the glasses
+ A few elfen winos in the back of the room or in a side alley close by
+ A few cheap elven "ladies of the night" and their Ork "protector"

The drinks are watered down and overpriced and the ladies are "well used and not properly maintained".

A Laundry and Cafe called Fu Leng's. If you do not play both Spycraft CCG and L5R, you won't get the reference.

For San Francisco, there's always the Drunken Yak, which was a real bar at one time. Run by some folks connected to some nice, well dressed asian men from what I recall...

We usually meet at Penumbra, though the drunkent clam, howling coyote, Erma's, and the occasional Starbucks.

I made up a homebrewed place - The Magic Lantern - as a throw-away locale for one session. It was a poorly-lit lesbian bar, and it took most of the players no fewer than three Perceptions Tests to notice they were the only males there. I thought the resulting awkwardness would be funny. Fast forward ten sessions, and one of the players has done enough favors for the owners to make the whole group honorary regulars. Everytime we start a new game, it is now the first place any new group checks out.

Wow, I am gonna use that
