Running a Woodstock inspired one-shot and while I have some ideas, I am looking for some additional inspiration on some encounters one might run into amongst a group of hippies along with some magic items that could be sold/found there. All mainly just for some fun flavor bits!
Some ideas I currently have:
-
A shaggy firbolg looking to give away a "mysterious substance" to spread positive vibes to spread throughout the festival
-
An elf bard looking to gain some notoriety by playing his flute on the outskirts of the festival, but sadly ignored
-
A large ogre performing a juggling act using goblins as his pins
-
Item: a flower necklace guaranteed to overpower any unpleasant smells you may be omitting
-
Item: a straw doll that can magically harmonize with you while you are signing
Thanks everyone!
I don’t necessarily like electronic music and that’s what comes to mind when you think of a festival where people trip and there hippie type people there

Revisiting this episode today, stored in my downloads as a favorite, even though I don’t think anyone liked the movie? Listening now to remember. Rest in peace, Michael Lang, whether Tiber introduced you to Yasgur or not. 🌈

It was planned to be 3 days but ended up being 4. The traffic to get to the rural site was legendary, so I imagine people weren't rushing out for a quick bite. And it was a hippie festival but I can't believe the half of the audience who showed up in VW buses thought to bring twice the food for everyone else. So yeah, in the days before fancy food trucks and bottled water, what did everyone eat and drink at Woodstock?
