What is it you say? A thread describing items, food, holidays, customs or similar elements of your campaign that have no bearing on fights, xp, raising levels or any of those other silly things that make up a RPG campaign. Here's the format:Local Color Item NameCampaign name, Game World and/or System.Description and notesFeel free to use any of this in your campaign and please, please post your own...Here goes...KhlavaTravellerA pumpkin colored beverage from the Vland Sector served hot or cold and made from the roasted seeds of a barley like grain plant. The grain is sadly not edible. Most people describe the taste as bittersweet. Solomani (Humans from the Sol System) often add a sweetner and some form of cream. As you've probably guessed Khlava is the Vilani version of coffee. Humans from Vland and Humans from Earth can get into very heated arguements about which is better. Khlava is not nearly as high in caffiene which some think is a benefit, though many Earth starship captains disagree.Drakkenheim FestivalDungeons & Dragons - Numerous Homebrew Campaign WorldsA festival in the large town/small city of Drakkenheim that celebrates the slaying of a Dragon. The event enabled a minor noble to found the town. Festival highlights include Jousts, A Dragon Tail Cooking Contest (inspired by a fiction story from Dragon Magazine) and a show of local artists. The noble was the young knight who slew the dragon. Er...in truth...he never slew it. He tricked it into using a magic item in it's hoard on itself. The dragon is still asleep in a large room beneath the castle. Heheh...just waiting for someone to screw up and wake it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> The Smiling BanthaStar WarsIn the town of Mos Espa is a tavern for people who think the cantina in Mos Eisley is too upscale. It's called The Smiling Bantha and in the back lot of the place is one big, smelly, ugly, really-really old Bantha. He's been there for years. The story goes that once, after a bounty target threw a grenade at Boba Fett, it landed near the Bantha and let out a strange gas. The Bantha made a weird expression and after Boba Fett caught his opponent he mentioned in the bar that the Bantha smiled when the job was done. The bar owner immediately went out back, found the Bantha's owner and bought the beast. Renaming the place, he took bets on whether or not a challenger could get the Bantha to smile again. He's made a good deal of credits over the years. The only group of pirates, smugglers and mercs to make it smile are now regulars and have been nicknamed 'The Smiling Bantha Gang'. So pull up a stool, grab a glass of smoldering green liquid and try to make a dull witted beast crack a grin. After speaking with the leader of the gang, try it with the Bantha. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
