Hiatus of your host was too long. Or so she thinks. Now she is back and is going to revive this place a bit (hopefully). We will still attempt to request art. But you are all welcome to also stay here, chat, drink mead, oggle wenches, find crew members for your upcoming quests and tell us a story of your last succeessful (or not) adventure. And your host... well, she is... let the song tell the story.

Your tavern has some outstanding history behind it. Let me tell it you while you sip on your mead.

Metal Reign, the most successful Gaia guild devoted to metal, got their Calendar for its 3rd anniversary. You can check it out at the bottom. The winning champion was Black Cherry Milkshake, who in addition to the certificate signed by Her Majesty My Hollow, received a chest of gold worth over 500K as a tip for her outstanding efforts.

We have the calendar, we want more arts though. And one of the captains has already been portrayed too. Hence, if you’re an artist, if you draw avatars – you still may provide us with some nice art. We request avi art here and now!


Announcements

We are officially re-opening!

And your arts are solicited. See below for more details.

Our general, MRCalendar, is in search for a village to pillage (aka will accept donations to the cause). The current worth of gold is ridiculous, you know.

THE MEMBER OF NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2014

For the months of November-December 2014 we are requesting arts for Digital Malevolence.

The tender form:

[size=24][color=crimson][b]I'LL BANG MY HEAD WITH Y'ALL![/color][/size][/b]

And simply post your entry smile .
Due to the fact that we'd need bilions of gold now, we're not able to offer much more than a smile of your tavern host... well, not until we pillage a couple of rich villages.
If you're willing to show us such a village, contact the general - MRCalendar.

Why won't you be the first one?

METAL REIGN BAND OF THE WEEK
and other metal bubbles

This week Metal Reign recommends Amon Amarth.


Metal freebie give away!
From time to time we may find (or carry away from the pillaged village) an artist to draw someone's avi. That is if we can run into such a fine person as Marclyn. If you're willing to provide a freebie for our guests - you're welcome to!


Freebies won in the past
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: Nigthmare Loreliux - thank you, Marclyn heart
One: aka_vashy13 - thank you, Marclyn heart

Room 9-2-9 - Thunder beth - thanks, Marclyn!

Freebie eligibility: a person can win a freebie if they are either a regular thread visitor, a bumper who helped the thread keep its position among top listed threads, a guild member or if they are otherwise connected to this thread (kacisko is the only judge of the person's connection to the thread). In case the 'winner' is not eligible to get the freebie, the freebie will be awarded to another person of the hostess' choice (usually this is going to be another person posting on the pointed page).
Basically speaking: no hit and runs.

Q: I want to make the Metal Reign Calendar art. Do I have to be a metal freak to do so?
A: Hell no! Metal reigns this world, but enough is enough. We do not care if you listen to metal or Chopin, if you do a salsa dance or headbang, if your idol is Mathias Nygård or Britney Spears. We care if you do amazing arts.

A: They are brutals. Brutal wild men. You figure.

Q: What style and form do you want the art in?
A: The choice is yours. It doesn’t matter if it’s a head, bust or fullbody shot. It even doesn’t matter if it’s color or black and white. What matters is if it’s good art and if we like it.

Q: Is it allowed for an artist to draw (and submit) multiple pictures of the member of the month?
A: Yes! Hell - it's even encouraged! We want tons of lo...err.. submissions wink

*pokes thread*

Is it allowed for an artist to draw (and submit) multiple pictures of the girl of the month?

[kacisko]

THE MEGA ART REQUEST THREAD: THE METAL REIGN CALENDAR

Mel: yes, definately yes. In the end - only one may be selected, but if you want to submit say five entries for the same month - you're definately allowed to. Hell - it's even encouraged to do so!


That sounds like a good item for FAQ. Thanks Mel wink .

[Lost Melfanian]

I'd thought it would be a useful question. :]
