The Roaming Genasi Tavern

A Tavern for those Touched by the Inner Planes

Rastus Darkglass, Shadow of the Vapors
Proprietor

These are the original Para- and Quasi-Genasi, created by me in 1998, on the PLANESCAPE-L mailing list. Hard to believe that was almost 20 years ago. (Remember when mailing lists were a thing?) They predate the Para- and Quasi-Genasi featured in Dragon magazine #297 by four years.

Greetings, cutter!

Ye've found yerself at th' Roamin' Genasi tavern. Although we'll take jink from any sod willin' t'spend it, we do tend t'draw a lot o' bashers what have been tetched by th' Inner Planes. O' course, part o' that might be because I'm plane-tetched m'self. Rastus Darkglass, formerly o' th' Para-Elemental Plane o' Smoke, at yer service.

Eh? What's that ye say? Ye've never heard o' Genasi a'fore? Ye Gods, cutter, ye must be new t' th' planes. No offense, friend, but if'n I was ye, I'd be keepin' quiet about th' things I knew an' th' things I didn't. Sigil ain't always nice to clueless sods steppin' outta their first portal, an' if'n th' wrong folks hear ye rattlin' yer bone-box about not knowin' what a Genasi is, why, they might take it inta their heads that yer a clueless ripe fer th' peelin'.

Not ol' Rastus, though. Friend o' th' Clueless, that's me. So let me learn ye about Genasi. Which would ye like t' hear about first?

Now that ye've learned yerself a bit about who an' what we are, here are some o' th' reg'lars what patronize th' tavern:

Braus Horfand, Lower Planar naturalist
Hobart Frimax, submersible Spelljammer
Mitel Cannate, swamp rat extraordinaire
The Coruscate, sculptor of light
Afterburner, explorer of the odd and unusual
Thierin Valder and Farnham Roth, Unveilers of Hidden Darks
Strom, Bubble Mapper
Kaul Wildmarten, Desert Wanderer

An' here are a few notorious berks what don't patronize th' tavern (thank th' Powers), but are well-known t' us none-th'-less:

Slash, the assassin's assassin
The Formless, twisted molder of flesh
Malvor Preen, guttersnipe and thief
