Libations of the Megaverse--Random Roll Tables

Libations of the Megaverse
(-Or, why it’s a good idea not to steal somebody else’s drink)

“The bartender wants us to sign a waiver before she serves us. Most ominous...”

“Just what the HELL were we drinking last night?!”

(Seeing a naked elf effortlessly tearing the armor and clothes off a frantically resisting troll)
“I’ll have what she’s having.”

An exotic Megaverse means an exotic range of quaffs, tipples, libations, and refreshments to be served at any bar or liqueur store that caters to the megacosmopolitan crowd.

i) *Bio-Compatibility
“How can you NOT like this stuff? I’ve never had any problems with it.”

How does the drink affect different drinkers? Drink XXyz may induce acute euphoria in its brewers’ species, while causing agonizing blood poisoning in all other drinkers, or it may kill humans while only making the fur fall out on Wulfen and Kittani break out in green polka-dots. Some drinks have the dubious reputation of having different effects EVERY time they are drunk, often making them useful for stocking only for ‘do or die’ drinking contests.

86-95% Utterly Repellent---Can be drunk if you close your eyes, pinch your nose, have had your tongue anesthetized beforehand, and have somebody force-feed it to you while distracting you with gratuitous nudity pushed up against you, a sudden explosion, or a weapon muzzle held to your head.
96-00% Unspeakably Vile. Roll under ME or start throwing up.

k) *Intoxication
“Gonna take more than a sniff of this stuff to unwind meurpplegeenslurgh...”

Can you get drunk off the stuff? How easily?

01-10% Buzz-less---May as well be drinking distilled water. NO Hangover roll.

86-98% Organ Replacement--- Roll versus Lethal Poison per glass or take 2d4 HP damage.
99-00% Drink This and You Will Die---This stuff is so poisonous you may as well be drinking straight nitric acid. Don’t bother rolling versus poison of any sort, just roll 1d20 direct to Hit Points.

n)*Magic
“This stuff’s as magically inert as Emperor Prosek’s heart...but somehow whenever the Flooper’s drink it, I swear they start glowing like a gandolf....”

Does the drink have any sort of magic effects on the drinker? One man’s liquid bread is another man’s magic potion.

01-75% None. Not EVERYTHING has to be magic, you know? This stuff has NO magic, get it? No fizzy, funny, happy, magical effects. Zilch, zip, nope, not even.
76-80% Negatively Magic---Drinking it actually LOCKS magic abilities. Cannot perform any magic until the drink is metabolized(typically 2d4 hours).

91-98% Faerie-Draught---The drink can be considered equivalent to a faerie-brewed tipple with regards to magic activity.
99-00% Liquid Magic Storm----The stuff is the equivalent of liquid PPE, conferring a shot of 2d4x10 PPE.

The bad aspect of this is that it makes the drinker light up like a road flare to those sensitive to PPE, including predators. Lasts 3d6x10 minutes.

o) *Recommended Quaffing Method

“THE LIGHT! IT-BURNS-!!!!!AIIIEEE!!!!”

If you overindulge, how bad is the aftermath?

01-10% None
11-30% Mild---Can get through it with some aspirin and focus. Roll versus non-lethal poison(and +2 at that) and the hangover goes away in 4d6 minutes, otherwise it lasts 1d6x10 minutes. -1 to initiative and -5% to skill rolls.

21-25% More alcohol(just not the same kind)
26-30% Off the shelf painkiller
31-35% Oxygen---or vigorous breathing for 15 minutes of purified, enriched atmospheric gas(whatever your character normally breathes).

41-45% Mild Stimulants(caffeine)
46-50% Vegetables or Vegetable Juice---Eating certain vegetables will cure the hangover in half the time(GM’s prerogative; can be rare or out of season fruits or vegetables, like trying to find coconuts in Anchorage, Alaska)
51-55% Hair of the Dog-- Ingesting 1d6 strands of hair of a canine will reduce duration and damage of the hangover by HALF. Negates it completely if the canine has bitten the ingestor beforehand.
56-60% Raw Meat(or fresh blood)---At least 6 ounces of raw bloody meat must be consumed to HALVE the hangover effects.
61-66% Bloodletting---Bleeding out(includes leeches and vampires) 1d4 Hit Points’ worth of blood will cure the hangover. The blood loss on the other hand....

86-90% Spice----Black pepper, chili pepper, and/or a combination of potent herbs and spices with enough punch to clear your sinuses and ablate your taste buds off, served in a concoction vile enough to make yourself purge yourself even if the chemicals don’t do the job(see ‘Utterly Repellent’ under j)*Flavor above).
91-95% Pain---An external or secondary source of acute pain(electrical shock, biting into ice cubes wrapped in tin foil, red hot iron. etc.). Doesn’t necessarily cure the hangover, but gives the sufferer something more immediate to worry about.
96-97% Chocolate---At least 6 ounces of chocolate(ideally dark chocolate) must be ingested to do its magic.
98-99% Prayer----At least 2d4 minutes of sincere prayer and possibly a small sacrifice to a deity of libations(Dionysus, Ninkasi, Silenus, Mbaba Mwana Waresa, Radegast, etc. ). The Porcelain God does NOT count.
-00% None; there is no known cure for the hangover induced by the drink, except time.

Rolled this stuff up with my Random Libations Chart

MoonBlood
“They drink reactor coolant, for crying out loud! Why does it surprise you that they’d drink stuff that looks like mercury?! Hell, I think I heard somewhere they really do drink mercury! And, knowing that, why would you want to try drinking anything -they- do?!”

MoonBlood is an Eshemarrian drink made from the adulterated nanite-laced ‘blood’ of an Awakened Warmount or large e-animal, much like the blood-drinks of other nomadic and herding cultures. It originated with the Silvermoons, who regularly quaff it at religious ceremonies, but some Wayfinders have lauded it as ‘liquid mana’, citing its PPE-boosting qualities. Some Wolf’s Path and Hawkmoons have acquired a taste for it as well.
The syrupy silver concoction causes harmless psycho-electrical surges through the EShemar nueropsychological wiring, allowing the gynoids to become pleasantly and thoroughly tipsy. In non-Shemarrians, the effects are more akin to being chemcially tazered, with a reported odd side effect of stimulating certain pleasure centers in the brain. The fact that the stuff is served boiling hot, poured down one’s throat fast, is quite toxic(heavy metal accumulation in the internal organs), and rates high on the ‘wanna die’ hangover scale for most organic non-Shemarrians, means that only the most foolhardy non-Shemarrians will dare trying to drink it(some have called it equivalent to drinking ‘liquid arsenic’).
MoonBlood is regarded mainly as a ceremonial drink by the EShemar. Just about everybody else regards it as a toxic chemical.

a)*Source---Shemarrian Nation, Shemarrian Star Nation
b)*Cost---Would likely cost 2 credits a drink if sold openly, or if the Shemarrians used a money-based economy.
c)*Color--- Silver
d)*Viscosity--- Syrupy
e)*Temperature--- Scalding Hot
f) *Presentation--- Steaming
g) *Stored in/Served in---Stoneware mugs
h)*Ingredients---”Spiced” Warmount Blood(must be Awakened)
i) *Bio-Compatibility---Has the same effect on everybody not of the original drinker’s species.
j)*Flavor---To Shemarrians, MoonBlood tastes Good, with no objections.
To all others, it’s Barely Tolerable, with an intense metallic taste being the most frequent complaint.
k)*Intoxication(Shemarrians)Insta-Stoned---One mug makes a Shemarrian punch-happy drunk.
(Others) Instantly Intoxicating---Just smelling the fumes is enough to send people’s heads reeling. Others aren’t so sure this counts as intoxication, rather than just poisoning.
l) *Toxicity (Shemarrians) Not toxic at all. Their nanites can scavenge the stuff for trace minerals and metals.
(Others) Slow Death by heavy metal poisoning.
m)*Side Effects (Shemarrians) Religious Epiphany---Save vs insanity or (01-50%) feel compelled to start singing hosannahs,(51-00%) feel compelled to start expounding on Shemarrian religion at length to whoever’s nearby(even if you have to get them in a headlock to stay nearby).
(Others) Libido Overdrive---Provided the drinker is still conscious, they’re afflicted with the urge to mate like grunions, preferably under a full moon.
n)*Magic (Shemarrians) Liquid Magic Storm----The stuff is the equivalent of liquid PPE, conferring a shot of 2d4x10 PPE. However, unless the person has magical or psychic abilities, this temporary reservoir cannot be tapped for anything useful. The bad aspect of this is that it makes the drinker light up like a road flare to those sensitive to PPE, including predators. Lasts 3d6x10 minutes. Silvermoon priestesses and Wayfinder technomages like to down a cup of MoonBlood before performing magic feats, hoping that even electro-bombed, they can still remember what to do while under the influence.
(Others)Mildly Magical; either gives a boost of 3d6 PPE, or induces a low-level spell(levels 1-4) in the person, for a duration equivalent to 1s4 levels of the spell.
o) *Recommended Quaffing Method--- Chugged straight
p) *Hangover (Shemarrians)Mild---Can get through it with some rebooting and focus. Roll versus psionic attack(and +2 at that) and the hangover goes away in 4d6 minutes, otherwise it lasts 1d6x10 minutes. -1 to initiative and -5% to skill rolls.
(Others) Hammer-Buzz---Like concussions or riding inside washing machines. Yeah, pretty much feels like that...for 2d6 HOURS. HALF all bonuses for hand to hand, APMs, and skill rolls.
q) *(Best)Cure for the Hangover (Shemarrians) Several gallons of electrolyte fluids.
(Others) Exercise----4d6 minutes of vigorous exercise will accelerate the process of flushing it from your system. That is, if you can be persuaded to try ANY sort of physical exertion.
