This is a fun little seed. Stephen Hawking hosted a party, a party for time travellers! The party would have been held at Gonville and Caius college Trinity Street at the University of Cambridgeshire at the time 12:00 UT at 28/06/2009. To make his experiment/party work he released the invitation 1 day after the party was held. Of course no one really showed up to it, but in the Whoniverse id bet there would be many time travellers all partying with Mr Hawking (maybe time travellers from other races as well). I can see this being a good little location people can come and go from to share info with other time travellers and party with one of the 20th and 21st century's greatest scientists. Or you could do a campaign involving a time travelling murder mystery at the location and its up to investigate what happened without using time travel.

I like the idea that Hawking’s party was planned as per usual. But the reason nobody came was because a better party/gathering was being held elsewhere!

I actually dislike that idea not going to lie, I personally would love to go the party if I were a time traveller as well I have been invited and rude not to show up, if anything its a good spot for time travellers to meet up even if its small they can drink champagne together and discuss past present and future events maybe they created a little time loop around the place to basically allow for the food and drinks to never actually run out but time travellers can come and go as they please in there. |

Fair enough, I was more imagining that it’s a case of say Iris Wildthyme holding a party elsewhere. And considering her almost legendary reputation and bawdy personality, any enterprising time travellers would be more than keen to partake. Iris probably isn’t even aware that Hawking’s gathering is taking place! Although Panda probably knows. It’s not like she listens to him however. |

I can see The Doctor (particularly the third incarnation) talking with Hawking about black holes, whilst Sarah is talking with other time travellers about where they have been and their stories. Maybe aliens are present there alien time travellers I can see a Draconian attending trying to educate the other time travellers on fine dining etiquette even though its more of a get together with formality. |

To add onto things here, It would be a good location for Time Agents to meet up and discuss various stuff, nickname for the place would be Hawk's Nest. Maybe they set up a temporal loop here, so time agents can come and go and not worry about things confusing, Stephen Hawking and the food/champagne would reset after 24 hours though but time agents/other time travellers would not feel the effect. I did suggest a murder mystery here and I can see Time Agents acting as the police with the characters as suspects trying to find who the real killer is.

A little OT but in my campaign one traveller had a standing arrangement to meet:

A little OT but in my campaign one traveller had a standing arrangement to meet: Reminds me of something in a book series I read called Time Riders where one of the characters asks the team leader to meet up in a park bench in New York City during 9/11 each time they needed something, to add on the Monday and Tuesday aka September 10th and September 11th where put into a time loop managed from a building within the harbour of Brooklyn so I can see temporal meeting places being pretty well useful, maybe a Vienna Coffee House or a 1920s speakeasy or the Cantina on a 26th century space station perhaps. |

Maybe tie it in to a Vienna Coffee House perhaps and how well cultural they were. |

Works for me. I can see various Freetimers (independent time travellers) having such locations for when they want to be found. Probably with some discreet security for the more paranoid....... Maybe tie it in to a Vienna Coffee House perhaps and how well cultural they were.
The popularity of Tarot based games in Vienna intrigues me; what if there is a psychic or two there?

There was also Chess as well in many of them. Psychics would probably visit these places frequently especially ones with mind reading and telepathy |
