3 Holidays

Where you come from, people celebrate a holiday not observed in other parts of the world. The coming of that day reminds you of home, but it is also something of an obligation. This exercise will help you create the structure of an unusual holiday you celebrate.

 Roll a d6 four times:

This day celebrates:	With:
1 Something you should actually be ashamed of 2 Fertility 3 The poor 4 A fallen hero 5 A great kindness 6 The harvest	1 A feast 2 A dance 3 Fasting 4 A sacrifice 5 A contest 6 An intimate ceremony
But:
1 It takes materials expensive in this region. 2 You need your whole party to do it right. 3 People have to dress a particular way. 4 You have to hunt a specific beast. 5 It requires a mating ritual. 6 Everyone must tell a story.
And if you don’t celebrate:
1 You won’t be respected as an adult. 2 You will be considered a blasphemer. 3 You will be cursed with bad luck. 4 You will sink into a depression. 5 You won’t be able to look your parent in the eye. 6 You will be overcome with supernatural rage.
