Adventure Hook: Home Brew
November 6th, 2009Sorry for missing this yesterday. Life caught up with me, and I didn’t get a chance to post like I wanted to… Without further delay, the hook for this week!
This hook works for all genres, except maybe prehistorical settings, since home brewing of beer, wine and mead has been around for thousands of years. I expect home brewing to be around for a few more thousand as well, but maybe in a different form in the far future.
A local home brewer has created a concoction to allow people to sleep deeply and dream. While they dream their dreams come true. The horrific dreams slay people. The beautiful dreams heal people. The strange, yet mundane dreams, also come true in a twisted fashion. How is this happening? The brewer claims to be doing nothing differently from his normal brews. Investigations of his equipment, ingredients and processes yield nothing strange. There must be an outside source influencing his brews. The brewer claims he is doing nothing wrong and refuses to stop creating and sharing his creations. The PCs are hired to investigate the strange occurrences.
