Not knowing this was a literal, brewing at home community, I spent too long looking at the jolly ranchers and wondering how this fit into some form of TTRPG homebrew campaign.

Hope your strange distillate makes for a pleasant drink though!

Appreciate it! And hey maybe the blue razz gnomes are holding onto the supply of delicious artificial flavored sugar and we’re on a quest to slay them and allow all the folk to drink it and be merry. (There’s a reason I’m not the dungeon master in my DND group, I’m not the most creative)

My brother did GM a one-shot set in a brewery staffed by magical creatures once. He was trying to draw in a sister who is into homebrewing and no previous experience with TTRPG. It kinda worked, she was willing to play but then kept correcting my brother when he got brewing specific facts wrong.

I am already a fencsitter on TTRPGs, I want to like them but find so many people wildly annoying during them. If ever I run into another intersection fo TTRPG fan and homebrewing fan, I’m out. It was so terrifically pedantic and unnecessary.

  It sounds to me like your brother may have just taken the wrong approach. Perhaps involving that sister less by means of active participation, but just exposing her to the creative process and using her as a consultant may have improved that outcome. I don’t figure you or your brother are expecting advice, but generally I find that it’s best not to try and dominate someone else’s interest as a means to interest them.
  
  The toughest part about enjoying TTRPGs is finding a DM that lets you exercise your variety of creativity. If your only experience is with your brother as a DM, it could be you just don’t necessarily vibe with his style of doing so.
