Ran this last night. It was the most fun I've had with a group in some time. I had to make some slight modifications for members of the party with wings, but overall we had an incredible time!

I ran this one-shot for a ren-faire weekend get-together, the table included someone who had never played D&D before and someone else who hadn't played in years. Even though this adventure is for level 5 characters, it was really easy for my new players to get into it as it's not a complicated story and the mechanics are flexible enough that you can keep things moving at an exciting pace. The stakes aren't high but high enough that everyone at the table wants to win this drinking competition!

And the layout is fantastic!

I really like this adventure! It is creative, lighthearted, and all around awesome. I was very fortunate to have it run by the author herself. After playing, I immedietly bought myself a copy so I can run it for my friends. Great work Kage!

My players had so much fun with this. The actual obstacle course race was well thought out and it was fun to have the players make Con saves after each drink. They still talk about it as a highlight of the campaign.

The Brewski Jubilee is a fun downtime adventure written during the RPG Writer Workshop that works well as a one-shot or as a break from your regular campaign. It’s written for a level 5 party but can easily be scaled up to your preferred level.

Your party has arrived at just the right time to a small town that celebrates tapping the first keg of the season. The featured event is the Brewski Hopstacle Course, where inebriated contestants test their skills. The title of honor has been won eight times in a row, and several folks are interested in hiring adventurers to win this year.

The approach to the course has fantastic roleplaying moments where the players have several options on which NPC sponsors them with different rewards and outcomes. It all culminates into running the obstacle course which has some surprises (and lots of ale).

The well-designed adventure layout is incredibly easy for a new DM to follow, giving lots of options and directions on roleplaying.

I was lucky to play this adventure with Kage and it was great, I laughed the whole time. If you have enough players, you really don’t need the NPCs on the course as your players will cause all the mayhem.

I suggest this adventure as an entry to DMing, especially if you want to give your DM a chance to play!

A lovingly crafted romp, packed full with heart and panache.

Plays easily in under 4hrs, tons of non-combat action and room for player shenanigans.

I'd recommend this fantastic downtime adventure for any group!

My group is a mix of veteran players and newbies and I generally modify one-shots I find on this site to work for the world and story my players are in. This was one of the most enjoyable one-shots I've ever DM'd and one that my players seemed to enjoy the most and were the most invested in, particularly because my world already has a tavern they are attached to, so weaving in the existing NPCs and lore with this tale was immensely fun and effortless. My players are generally more into the puzzles and roleplay than combat and so this worked perfectly. We love light-hearted romps and I really wish I could find more like this! I hope the author creates more adventures in the same vein, I would love to check them out.

I bought this adventure on a whim, so I didn't have high expectations. Nevertheless I am here to tell you that my group, a bunch of diehard D&D gamers who have been playing together since 2nd edition, enjoyed it immensely! This is particularly telling since one of the players is the type who always wants to fast-forward to the combat - but he was enjoying himself as much as anyone as the race was underway.

The NPC design is effective, with the brief descriptions of each character nevertheless providing ample personality for the DM to riff off of. The challenges in the race were varied enough that even characters who I thought would plow through the obstacles without issue still found themselves challenged by the other racers. This is exactly the kind of prewritten adventure I like to run - chock full of flavor, simple in execution, and with loads of potential hooks.

If I have any gripes, they are extremely minor, and not unique to this adventure. Namely, when multiple choices are available to a group of players, often the first idea is the best idea. It was mildly difficult to communicate to the players that there was more than one deal in town when it came to finding their sponsor for the race - only one player in my group held back, the rest all immediately jumped at the chance to take the first offer that came their way. The other is ubiquitous in virtually all prewritten adventures: MONKS BREAK ADVENTURES. If it weren't for the iron grate puzzle halfway through the course, coupled with the drinking stations, the monk would have had no challenge at all - as it was, the monk still won the race with the barbarian in the party putting up the best fight, and the monk still won by sixty feet or so. Fast movement + step of the wind goes a long way in obstacle courses, it turns out!

Nevertheless everyone had fun, and I had fun running it, and I'm very much looking forward to more work from the designer! Enjoyable, inventive, inclusive . . . a fun ride.

A fun and wonderful little adventure that can easily become a raucous mess for players (much to a GMs delight)! Written for easy application to any game and requiring little prep. I'm looking forward to seeing how my players fare in this drunken contest!

The Brewski Jubilee by Kari Jo “Kage” Freudigmann (@RageKagexRugger)

A Downtime Adventure – Please imbibe responsibly.

Content Warning: Alcohol Consumption, Drinking Competition

This is a standalone adventure that can also be used as part of a downtime session in a larger campaign. It is a level 5 adventure for three to four players, but can be adjusted for different levels of play. This adventure has an estimated 2-3 hours of playtime

This is a brilliant Brewski Jubilee Hopstacle Course Jamboree! A great downtime adventure in a town full of rich characters and their varied, silly and fun harvest ritual. Perfect as a fun one shot or dropped into any campaign, especially as a bit of downtime and/ or sidequest action, regardless of experience!

The adventurers come across a small, pastoral town and their celebration event, The Brewski Jubilee, to commemorate the tapping of the first keg of the season. In town they will find potential sponsors for their entry into the event in which they may compete together or separately against the reigning champion, Olga the Obliterated, who has won the Hopstacle Course for the last eight years running, as well as a variety of additional provided entrants as needed.

Chapter 1: The Town (Exploration and social)

The scene is set beautifully:

A small town lies amidst fields of grain on the outermost boundaries of a well-travelled kingdom. Crops extend as far as the eye can see in all directions, except to the south where a large rocky outcropping disrupts the endless horizon. Unseen from this distance, a small stream rushes from this jagged pile of earth, nourishing the lush forest at the hill’s

This picturesque place is also home to a vibrant market where the party can pick up information and rumours relating to the town’s celebration of the “Brewski Jubilee, a century-old celebration of the season’s harvest—namely, beer.”

Rumours of information

Beginning with flyers covering “every vertical surface of both the marketplace and the town” to various potential patrons and punters, the adventurers learn of the Brewski Jubilee, the Hopstacle Course and the formidable Olga, the Obliterated, throughout the town all laid out with easy to reference bullet points.

The chapter ends when the party have enough information.

Chapter 2: motivations (Social)

Evening descends like a leisurely poured pint, bringing folx to congregate at the pub, allowing further opportunities for rumour gathering and specialising.

The appendix contains information that truly bring these characters to life!

The various prospective patrons and challengers are here to be met and deals made.

Chapter 3: The Hopstacle Course (Exploration and Combat)

3 simple rules

ONE: Participants shall stop at each drink station. TWO: Participants shall not veer off the designated path in any direction. THREE: Participants shall not make attempts on another competitor’s life.

The rules for the Hopstacle Course are clearly laid out with handy tables for the NPCs tactics and exhaustion to reference. This is a really nice touch and more adventures that have more bizarre and confusing statuses and effects should have information like the on hand.

The challenges involve all manner of elements and approaches, from the drinking, hair of the dog (Gnolls), spelunking in the dark, kicking a door in, finding a way across a river, avoiding traps and dangerous drops, and legging it to the finish. Again, all options, prompts and suggestions are clearly laid out.

The tactics of all NPCs are clearly laid out at each stage of the challenge.

Whomever wins the Hopstacle Course is hailed as a champion with a variety of results from sponsors, local shops and the party’s wallets, as well as the coveted half price pint amulet.

Further adventures with connections and allies the party may have made in town are suggested.

Appendix I

This contains the diverse NPCs in the adventure, each with a deeply flavourful bio and back story, as well the NPC statblock they use with all the specific changes neatly presented in a box. This is unbelievably helpful and inspired! I can’t count the times I’ve had an NPC and been called out for just using the basic statblock without features and traits, so it’s brilliant to have it right there. Plus, this full background approach is given to the optional additional NPCs, which is just a lovely piece attention to detail.

Appendix II

This contains the Player and DM maps for the Hopstacle Course. These maps are well laid out and colour-coded with clear labelling on the DM map.

This adventure does the impossible in creating a situation in where the players actually have fun, while suffering exhaustion! ...although the DM in me also sees this as a deliciously evil place to unleash something nasty on your drunk and exhausted party. Mwahahaha! (I’m actually a total kitten of a DM, but I can dream lol).

This is a great downtime adventure with availability of places to explore, shop and money (and half-priced drinks) to be won in a nameless town that can be easily incorporated anywhere, as well as a fun challenge and flavourful NPCs to socialise and compete with.

The helpful DM Notes, helpful layout and inclusion of information within the text are a huge aid to staying on track, making this easy to pick up and play. This extremely accessible nature also makes this an option for a first time DM and/ or a new group wanting to play about with D&D and get to grips with the rules. The adventure provides a relatively safe and certainly lively and fun place to play about with the social and initiative challenge aspects, as well as the Gnoll Corner providing the opportunity for combat. I do like that this is one of those adventures in which violence is not at all necessary, though it is optional.

This being a downtime jaunt with the quality of guidance throughout make it a perfect option for a session the DM can’t make or for someone else to take the helm so those forever DMs out there get to drink and cavort for a change.

This is a brilliant Brewski Jubilee Hopstacle Course Jamboree! A great downtime adventure in a town full of rich characters and their varied, silly and fun harvest ritual. Perfect as a fun one shot or dropped into any campaign, especially as a bit of downtime and/ or sidequest action, regardless of experience!

I reached out to Kage to find the inspiration for their adventure and they kindly provided me with this quote:

It was just something I’ve been thinking about doing for over a year. I love the idea of conflict that isn’t just hack and slash combat. And I do love myself a good brew so they just sort of combined. As far as actually getting it down on paper and published, I cannot thank the RPG Writer Workshop enough for helping me make this adventure a reality.
