Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bar Karma is a 12-episode series created by the Current TV online community and Will Wright. The story concerns a magic bar that exists outside of space and time, where people who have reached a crossroads in their life wander in unexpectedly. The latest visitor, Internet millionaire Doug Jones, won the bar in a poker game against James Anon, the mysterious 50,000-year-old bartender. He and the other regular patron Dayna use the bar's mystic tools to help find out how to help, while Doug goes out of the bar to help them hands-on. | |

Doing In the Wizard | |
| Bar Karma / int_86d4f985 | comment |
Doing In the Wizard: The bar TV's ability to pick up news from theoretical futures is initially explained as just being part of the Bar's magic, but episode 12 reveals that they actually come from an in-universe TV channel called "Many Worlds News", which broadcasts people predicting news stories that could happen in the near future. | |

Non-Linear Character | |
| Bar Karma / int_ddcb019c | comment |
Non-Linear Character: Since Bar Karma is located "behind time and before space", James, Dayna, Doug, and anyone else who stays in it for long enough can move through time seemingly at random. Someone who enters Bar Karma in the future might get there earlier than someone who comes in during the Middle Ages. | |
