FAQ: What is your Covid-19 policy? Will there be social distancing? Will masks be required? Short answer: No. These items will not be enforced. Long answer: The purpose of the Tavern is that it is a community event. It's a chance to meet and talk with new people - strangers. The goal is to encourage people to meet, talk, play, and enjoy each other's company in the shared setting of a Medieval-like Tavern. We hope to capture the feel of those Taverns that you read of in books and watch on film. This community feel is just impossible unless we have people sitting at shared tables - in each other's company. All guests will be seated at shared tables. If you still wish to wear a mask, you are more than welcome to do so, but please understand that the Tavern operators will not be wearing masks and many guests may not wear them either. Do I need to dress up? No. But it's always more fun when you do. In the past, about 50% of people wear "normal" clothing. However, if you dress up we'll likely toss a few extra coins your way. Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? 21+ and ID is required due to the presence of ale. How can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Additional FAQ https://www.tavernatthecrossroads.com/FAQ.html Tavern at the Crossroads is a project designed to create a unique social experience that is reminiscent of taverns referenced in various literature: The Prancing Pony (LotR), The Green Dragon Inn (LotR), Crossroads Inn (ASOIAF), The Eolian (KKC), Inn of the Last Home (DLC), Goldshire Inn (WoW), Hogs Head Inn (HP), The Winespring Inn (WoT). The tavern is consistently a focal point in heroic literature, where it is used as a place-setting and catalyst to drive the story. It helps facilitate the immersion into the world. Perhaps, it is because, in any fantastical adventure, the tavern is a haven that can seem familiar and comforting. The Tavern is a place where locals come to lay down their burdens, socialize with neighbors and coworkers or conduct business dealings. It may provide sanctuary where wanderers can hide from prying eyes, adventurers may find rest, and townsfolk can take refreshment through simple food & drink. Within the Tavern, your Journey may come to an end, or perhaps it is just beginning.The Tavern at the Crossroads project aims to have a seasonal party (spring, summer, fall) where a small group of villagers (10-16 people) gather to play tavern games, drink, and share a meal. The event is located in Hayward, CA.Our goal is to create an authentic tavern experience to escape an ever-more daunting, busy & demanding world. By providing a refuge in a world of ever-increasing anonymity and facade-ridden social media, the Tavern at the Crossroads aims to offer a welcoming social setting with simple food, drink, music, and games contained within a thematic setting. Thus, fostering an experience in which friends and strangers can interact in close proximity to wind down at the end of a long season or to kick off the beginning of a new one.Ultimately, the tavern is a "living experiment" that is expected to evolve and grow based on participants' involvement and feedback. We encourage and request your feedback about the event. What would you like to see in the future? What would give the experience a more involved, immersed, community feel?
