A while back I stumbled upon a write-up for an extra-dimensional tavern and cant seem to remember where. From what I can remember the front door would every so often open to a new location and the basement was a maze of tunnels that lead to more doors. I think it was a RPG Superstar submission or maybe something out of an issue of Dungeon/Dragon Mag. Anyone else remember seeing this or something like it?
I don't know what or where it is, but it sounds awesome.
I too would like to see this.
Yep. We actually ran a Neverwinter Nights server based around it. What you're looking for is called the World Serpent Inn I believe.
There's the World Serpent Inn web enhancement for the 3.0 Manual of the Planes. I think I remember something similar in Beyond Countless Doorways, but it has been a long time since I've read that book. I'll need to dig through the storage unit to find it.
Yes, it's the World Serpent Inn.
Mentioned originally in OP1 Tales of the Outer Planes, it also appeared in:
- Volo's Guide to Cormyr (Arabel; Wild Goose Inn is the 'front')
- Dragon Magazine #351
- Manual of the Planes web enhancement (3.0)
- In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil
- Greyhawk sources related to the Free City of Greyhawk also have the Wild Goose Inn (which, just like in FR, is a 'front' to the World Serpent Inn)
Tales from the Floating Vagabond could fill that role for certain campaigns.
Is this the Comeback Inn from Blackmoor?
No, the Comeback Inn is a time travel conduit. The World Serpent Inn is something completely different. You can meet gods having drinks, and the bartender is himself a deity of unknown derivation.

This reminds me of Neil Gaiman's World's End
Thank all of you, I wasn't sure I would find any help as it seemed a bit obscure. I'm currently writing a campaign for my group based around a twice revised game. Our original game was cut short due to a few of our players moving and our GM losing interest. Since the move to Pathfinder I've found that Ustalav fits the original setting almost, and quite eerily, to a T. The main problem I ran into was keeping our player founded tavern super-tower (The Rusty Tankard), within the realm of reason. With the rise and fall of the Whispering Tyrant, emergence of the Pharisman Inquisition, and Ustalavs borderline xenophobia I feared I would have to scale back the heart and soul of our core concept to little more than shadow of its former glory. Using The World Serpent Inn as a template and the fact that one of our original players had aspirations of building a demiplane I may still be able to salvage this game.

Back in 3.0 there was a very problematic book called "The Stronghold Builder's Guide." It can help you advance and customize such a building.
