One of the things we did before starting Stonetop was make up new and interesting seasons. Last session we had the mid-autumn fogtime. Fog so thick you need guide ropes to not get lost inside the village. And also fog so clingy that nearby brains share dreams.

So what I did is I asked the players to describe other PC's dreams.
