Sailors on The Starless Sea - The Ale

Post by viruswithshoes »

I thought you guys may get a kick out of this "prop" I made for my players. After surviving the keep and making their way back to town the players were rewarded with an ale brewed in their honor by the legendary halfling brewer Pint Bingleton.

For those that are curious, it's actually Southern Tier's Pumking.

That's great! Just ran this as a one-shot last weekend for my normal group and some kids. Not sure all the character names that fell to that adventure would fit on the bottle!

That's a pretty cool mug. 8)

Did you hand-write the text and draw the pictures, or is it printed somehow?

A truly excellent idea! Yoink! I'm gonna nick it and reward players with a relabelled bottle of their favourite beer too.

Just looked at the pictures again ... you printed the label and then glued it on. Somehow I was trying to imagine how you could print directly on a bottle.... :oops:

That's what I get for posting before I'm awake.

IronWolf - It was only for those that survived! The surviving PCs took a year to study and "level up" after their adventure and this was waiting for them when they returned to town for the feast in their honor. (subsequently ruined by the BBEG :lol: )

Finarvyn: Pumpking has one of those clear plastic tape-like labels. I measured the label and quickly mocked it up in photoshop using a handwritten font I found. Printed out and then aged using the tried and true tea method. Cut out and carefully wrapped around bottle, the leftover adhesive was sticky enough to hold the new label.
