Sometimes, you need to lighten up and have fun. A series of high tension encounters filled with danger and worry can certainly establish the right tone, but sometimes you just need to laugh and have a good time. It is my hope the following encounter combines what would normally be dangerous imagery with good old fashioned random fun.
In this case, what we’ll do is create a moment or encounter you can drop into various settings, whether it’s a dungeon, marketplace, circus or randomly appearing in a wilderness setting.
The encounter itself is random and unpredictable, so it could logically be placed anywhere. The location is less important than the purpose — to have unexpected fun and lighten the mood.
Furthermore, to make sure this has less to do with an overarching issue or have any permanent detrimental effects, we’ll make any effects of this encounter temporary — an hour or less. These effects should not severely hamper characters and the short duration should aid in this respect. The effects are randomly generated by the players themselves, just to add to the fun and inject agency and fairness.
