Oh yeah, does anyone know what Tavern Keepers are supposed to do?  I can't detect any change in functionality with or without a keeper on hand.

You have to have the booze stockpile included in tavern area and chest with some goblets or mugs in the area too. Then they will start serving the patrons. I ended up having to designate two keepers because I felt like my first was overworked. As soon as I did the first keeper went and read a book in the library which was the first time I'd ever seen her do anything but serve drinks. I think she needed to put her feet up a little. She also hasn't started any fights since then.

I could use some ideas for a church, since I can't think of a beautiful underground church being a thing.

 

Take a look at the chapel at St. Andrew's School -- it's in a basement so the only windows are in channeled-out places that barely let any light in.  I think channeling out a 4-z tall area with pillars, a long central aisle, rows of chairs, and an elevated platform at one end would be enough.  If they need statues put them along the outer wall like Stations of the Cross.

You could take a look at pretty much any pre-Gothic church.

At what point instruments and writing materials will be delivered to the temples and libraries. I think I have some by now, but they aren't in chests, it seems.

[AMTiger]

I'd go more to D&D type fantasy evil temples as an inspiration
They're often underground and beautiful and more likely to have magma waterfalls in than real life churches

For deliveries, I put the instruments in my temple as buildings.
And for writing materials, i think it depends on how many idle haulers you've got?

[Bouchart]

Moving writing materials around is just another hauling task.  I'm guessing it's Item Hauling but I'm not certain.  Having a couple of dedicated item haulers is probably the way to go.

I put some beds into area designated as tavern. Will guests stay there or they need more?

... They're often underground and beautiful and more likely to have magma waterfalls in than real life churches ...

I can't recall trying this, but.. if you build a water wheel out of nether cap, and flow magma under it/past it, will it generate power the same as flowing water?

If it does, I have a new goal for a temple/tavern/library feature..

[Urist McVoyager]

If you make each bed a bedroom and assign those rooms to the tavern, petitioners will stay there.

Has anyone had a fortress last long enough to see long term residents become citizens?

[Sirbug]

Wouldn't my citizens claim those rooms?

I made rooms in tavern area, but counter on location screen does not change.

[Urist McVoyager]

Not if you tie them to the tavern. Tavern rooms are specifically meant for outsiders. Your people might enjoy the tavern, but they're not going to claim rooms within it.

[Sirbug]

Perhaps I miss something? I've got a room designated and included inside tavern area. It's counted as a regular room.

[Urist McVoyager]

You have to use q on the bed, set it as a bedroom, then hit l and assign it to the tavern. If it's not assigned, then it doesn't count. Even if it is within the tavern's territory.

Anyone building bone church from Czech Republic yet?

I tried doing it in every order. Tried to designated bedrooms and draw area over. Tried to draw individual rooms. Nothing seems to work.
