SAMPLE CANTINA: THE WORMHOLE The Atmosphere: The door is never in the same place twice. Tonight it might be behind a refrigerator in a diner. Inside, the bar stretches in directions geometry can't explain. Patrons from alternate realities drink side by side. Time doesn't flow consistently — some age years in an hour; others find their wounds healing. Shift — Literally shifts appearance between observers. To some, a young woman. To others, a smoking void. Shift is the Wormhole itself, or at least its consciousness. Every drink consumed is a few minutes of someone's lifespan, siphoned across dimensions. Sample Item: Paradox Punch — 60cr Drink it twice and the second one is free. But you'll never remember ordering the first. Quest Hook: The Wormhole has started depositing patrons in the wrong realities. Last night, three people went home to Earths that weren't theirs. Shift says it's "growing pains." Rumor: "The Wormhole isn't a place — it's a predator. And Shift has been fattening us up for something coming from the other side."
