Devlog: Greg's Second Round - Advanced Cocktails for D&D 5e!

Hey everyone, Vyktor here from Mad Lab Games!

We're incredibly excited to announce a brand new supplement for your Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition campaigns: Greg's Second Round: Advanced Concoctions for the Daring Drinker! This is the highly anticipated (by us, at least!) follow-up to our first dive into the mixological mind of Greg, the Orc Bartender of Baldur's Gate's very own Elfsong Tavern.

What's New in This Round?

If you enjoyed the hearty, no-nonsense brews from Greg's first guide, prepare yourselves. In "Greg's Second Round," our favorite orc bartender takes things up a notch. This zine-sized supplement delves into:

• Three Brand New Advanced Cocktails: These aren't your average tavern swill. Greg has concocted drinks like The Displacer Beast's Daze, The Mimic's Mug, and The Arcane Artificer's Ale. Each comes with unique in-game effects, demanding precision in their "preparation" and offering exciting (and sometimes unpredictable) results for your players.
• Expanded Lore & Bartending Tales: Greg shares more of his "Behind the Bar" wisdom, including new cautionary tales of disastrous experiments and unexpected outcomes. Learn from the "Flumph's Folly," the "Goblin's Grease," the "Bard's Burp," and the mysterious "Unknown Beverage."
• A Deeper Dive into Fantasy Mixology: This guide encourages DMs and players to think creatively about how drinks can add flavor, humor, and even strategic depth to their roleplaying sessions.

Just like our first guide, this supplement is a loving homage to the incredible world of Dungeons & Dragons and the fantastic "How To Drink" YouTube channel. We wanted to capture that blend of meticulous craft, playful experimentation, and genuine passion for beverages, all filtered through the gruff, no-nonsense persona of an orc bartender in the Forgotten Realms. Greg's new recipes reflect a more experimental, visually engaging, and mechanically interesting approach, much like the advanced techniques explored by Greg from "How To Drink."

Why Add This to Your Campaign?

"Greg's Second Round" is more than just a list of magical drinks. It's designed to:

• Spark Roleplaying: Give your players unique opportunities to interact with the world and each other in new ways.
• Provide Unique Mechanics: Introduce fun, non-combat challenges and boons that fit right into your D&D game.
• Add Flavor & Immersion: Deepen the atmosphere of your taverns and social encounters.

We've poured our hearts (and a few questionable ingredients) into making this supplement as fun and engaging as possible.
