Brewing Moonshine

Rule Type: Homebrew
When brewing Moonshine, if a person has the proper equipment, is using natural Moon Dust, and has enough time it should not require a check, especially if they have a relevant Experience. However, if they are using New Moon, poor or improvised equipment, rushing, or clearly have no experience or guidance with the task the GM should set a Difficulty based on the situation and request an appropriate Action Roll. When assessing this Difficulty New Moon should always provide +1 Difficulty compared to Moon Dust under the same circumstances. Using the following table as guidance for the results.

Roll Outcome Suggested Result
Critical Success Potent or Pure Moonshine.
Success w/ Hope Standard Moonshine.
Success w/ Fear Weak Moonshine.
Failure w/ Hope Wasted materials and nothing or Impure Moonshine.
Failure w/ Fear Wasted materials and the equipment catches fire or explodes.

One quantity of Moon Dust or New Moon can be turned into one draught of Moonshine and the size of one’s set up of equipment should determine how many draughts can be produced in a single roll based on the following table. The time it takes to produce that volume is up to the GM, but the more you are making the longer it should take.

Size of Equipment Max # of Draughts
Small (briefcase portable) 1
Medium (the size of table or large desk) 10
Large (the size of a whole room) 25
Very Large (the size of a small building) 50
Factory (the size of a large building) 100
