Düngeonmeister, by Jef Aldrich and Jon Taylor, Adams MediaIntroduction
Welcome to Düngeonmeister, a book where fantasy role-playing meets cocktail craft. One of the greatest things about role-playing is the way that it brings people together. A group of adults with different schedules all making time to get together and gather around a table is a kind of magic in and of itself. So we thought, why not make those get-togethers a true event with themed drinks to entertain and amuse your fellow players? Whether you’re new to role-playing games or a grognard who’s played for years, you can find the right drink (or drinks) for you. You don’t even need to be role-playing. You can be the big hero at any nerdy get-together for board game nights, movie night, or even a simple hangout.
In this book, you will find seventy-five drink recipes: an assortment of different flavors and types of drinks, shots, punches, and cocktails. There should be something for everyone at the table: from those who want their drinks sweet and fruity, to those who want a spicy or bitter sharpness, and even those who just want to be able to min-max their alcohol consumption. We’ve included a section that tells you what basic alcohols and bar tools you’ll need to keep yourself and your fellow gamers in tip-top condition. We’ve also included humorous sidebars for all of our recipes to provide plenty of entertainment and mirth.
We’ve added a handy Complexity rating on the different recipes so you’ll know how much effort goes into them. Not everyone is willing to break out the blender or lovingly craft their own honey syrup. The lower-Complexity recipes just require the ingredients you plan to mix together and maybe a shaker to mix them all up. For the adventurous sort who wants to dive right into the deep end, our high-Complexity drinks will have you brewing your own tea or special-ordering powders for those mesmerizing special effects.
The book’s eight chapters range from characters to classes to skills—plenty of room for you to match your drink to the phase of the game you’re in. For instance, if you’re rolling up a dwarven bard, you might want to have a Dwarven Forge by your elbow. If you’re struggling through a dank swamp, pursued by rotting zombies, sipping a Black Mana will probably make you feel better (although you still better outrun the zombies).
So come along! Don’t stand at the back of the party. It’s time to eat, drink, and roll d20s.
Tavern Basics
It’s only natural that epic quests begin in taverns. There’s a sense of camaraderie; warmth from the hearth; simple, well-cooked meals; and, of course, copious tankards of fortifying alcohol. It’s a rookie mistake to take these simple pleasures for granted, and if you’re feeling like taking your game up to the next level of realistic verisimilitude, then why not set up your own pregame tavern? With our help, you’ll be slinging characterful cocktails and potent potions that help infuse a little more spirit (and a little more spirits) into your dungeon adventures.
In this section you’ll find:
The basic alcohols you need for the drinks in this book
A list of mixers
The essential bar tools to make drinks
With all this, you’ll be ready to plunge right in (so to speak!) to the drinks in the rest of the book. But what should your tavern include (besides plenty of adventurers and mysterious old men muttering to themselves in a corner)?
Essential Spirits for Tavern Keeping
All effective bars begin with a collection of spirits that forms the basis of mixology. Perhaps while setting up a place for dwarves or half-orcs, one can get away with ales ranging from strong to unpleasant, but if plans stray toward entertaining other players at the tavern table, it’s best to start with a collection of the classics. Otherwise you’ll find yourself in the unenviable position of trying to sling glasses of orange juice and sweet and sour mix to less than appreciative patrons and friends.
Vodka
Vodka is invariably the most used spirit in the bar. It’s the go-to for cocktail making, and you’ll find it in a majority of cocktail recipes. Distilled most commonly from grain or potato starch (but in reality can be made from nearly anything floral), vodka’s claim to fame is a lack of flavor, meaning it can add a kick without adding a note.
Gin
Gin, similar to vodka, is a distilled spirit, though instead of lacking flavor, it has a lot of potential flavors. Gin is an exceptionally broad category of like spirits, which all feature juniper berry as a flavor note in common (and often not much else). You’ll note throughout this guide that above
