Food, and not the kind that's the chips you eat at the game table people don't really do that right?
This applies to both players and DMs, but in any of the games you're playing or running, is there any involvement of food? hunger? Most importantly cooking? Has anyone ever even remembered eating had to be a thing or is it just "you eat some of those rations you bought last whenever" Do you reward your players for being creative with food? How many of you fucks started doing it because things like dungeon meshi or vanillaware? Give me all those juicy details, or just dump pics with me thats fine too.
Dragon's Crown is a wonderful source of fantasy food.
Anthony Roberts
That was going to be my next post but I'm glad someone else got on it, I really wish delicious rpg foods got rep as good as dragons crown gave it.
Nathan Diaz
Same, I don't understand why there isn't more.

I’m playing a barbarian who’s a chef. His ancestor worship involves perfecting the signature dishes of his ancestors and getting the recipes tattooed on his skin. We haven’t played much yet but I’m going to have a cookbook with me when we play and try to prepare any beasts we slay and goodies we find.
Gabriel Sanchez
Masamune did it great too, but that's mostly all weebfoods, vanillaware knows what people love.

That sounds absolutely radical, I love tying it in to ancestry worship, hope you get a chance to expand on it more in your game

Yeah we’ve only been able to do like three sessions as a little break from our main campaign but everyone’s really excited to get back into that game since the characters are a little sillier than our current ones. Definitely gonna try to spice up our rations into the good stuff you’re posting too since our DM is big on tracking rations and shit. Definitely hope so, too. It’s 5e so I decided to go with the Ancestral Guardians subclass instead of just boring ol bear totem. He’s devoted to his craft, his family’s legacy, and the orcish god of feasting. Gonna describe the Spirit Shield as enemies being parried by Aunt Ginny’s rolling pin or having to reach through Uncle Thockkmarr’s burning spectral soup and such.

I use the gritty rest variant for 5e, so I let my party regain some hit die by eating/drinking.

I used to hate cheese too, I think its one of those things which you have to grow a taste for it.
Even If they did, I don't have it.
Caleb Edwards
Ive tried to incorporate more in-depth details on food before in my setting, but it came down to trying to figure out what classes would need what more, and it just kind of boiled down to "Fighters and such would need tons of carbs for how much work they put in" "Well shit if magic casting is physically exerting, wizards probably need lots of carbs too"
basically carbs
Ethan Bailey
>Century egg Of course they would.

They don't give a fuck, senpai.
Now I am imagining a Veeky Forums wizard calculating his carbs and working on dem gains.

"Please god wizard just shoot the troll with a fireball we're going to die" But he could not, for he knew that would be cardio, and kill his gains.

I had a really great game that was supposed to be set around 1920 at a field base. Faux-Silverplate photographs and faux-typewritten reports.
For food, very strong coffee was served with canned condensed milk with a period-accurate label, venison jerky and hardtack biscuits topping french onion soup.
It was easy and fun to talk about the game and mission over the props and food.
Ryan Turner
Might as well post the lame one.

You can't eat my MM waifu user!
I always wondered how to implent in game this shit. Fellowship has the cute (onepiece-ish) idea of retaking some HP when eating together and having a good time, but I'd really like a crounchier thing for different food actually eaten from monsters/in dungeons/around the world
Jaxon Nguyen
Stat buffs, or other side effects for certain foods? Im going to try something like that because a player of mine has shown interest in his character having a cooking focus.
Gavin Thompson
That romanesco broccoli is anything but wild, clearly the adventurer whose rations those are stole that shit from a farm and a wealthy farm at that.
Mason Torres
That sounds really damn immersive. Hats off to you and your group.
Dylan Sanders
Holy shit that's amazing. Was it everyone working together to make it happen or was the GM just the bro-est of lads ever to walk the earth?
Christopher Stewart
It's a lot of fun, in this case I was helping the GM with food and hosting.
That was the best we've done. I also did a "Shadowrun" meal with Japanese noodle cups, candy and snacks along with cocktails in super bright colors but that was basically just stopping at a International market.
Normally for fantasy games I just make some fresh bread and some kind of stew, sliced apples and cheese to feel "vaguely Tolkien" and "super cheap because I'm poor".
Sebastian Mitchell
Townsends is vital to anyone looking to write about or cook authentic old-fashioned food.
I did the "camp meal" but the GM did the handouts and helped me find/print the label for the condensed milk.
Oh, and mugs of wine and mead, because wine is cheap and one of the players is almost always willing to bring mead. Somehow, wine out of a mug always seems much more 'fantasy' then out of a glass.
Angel Parker
Tought about that but seems quite univentive, at least to me. Respect, user.
Blake Ward
I feel like buffs and HP gain are the only two things you can really do with food, desu, I'm desperately trying to find a better alternative before my next game though.
Isaac Scott
It might help keep characters sane, if it's a game where that's a concern.
Brody Brown
>Eat some food the character has fond memories of >Helps them regain a good bit of sanity
saving this one, great stuff user.
Jayden Kelly
I've not used food much but I tried to make it part of the experience when the PCs visited another world. They are used to fresh fruit and vegetables and plenty of meat but the planet they were visiting had a ravaged atmosphere and had to make do with what was economical to produce in large amounts to feed the population.
As a result, I tried to add more descriptions of the food with a lot of stuff like flavoured noodles/fried tofu and one of the NPCs who grew up poor going crazy over the fact they handed her an apple like it was nothing out of the ordinary.

D&D 4e had a really good class of 'Items' (They were not but they worked the same) called Boons. They were grandmaster training or divine blessings that lasted a while and faded.
I feel like you could very easily have that work for an RPG as the food thing (With the 'You only get one' restriction feeling very natural when you can't just keep forcing food into your gut) with higher than base food giving you a day-long effect.
A big thing though would be the fact that nutrition is only a part of food, it's emotional effects also matter. So you could easily have something like:
>Comfort Food >Effect: You may save against Fear and Charm Effects at the start of your turn rather than the end and gain resistance = 1/2 level against psychic damage.
Brandon Thompson
>Sane >Bites chocolate bar
Blake Clark
I usually ask my players what sorta rations they usually buy. I also have a dmpc that is a cook with the Gourmand feat. But they took my description of cooking for fluff and not buffs.
Got some home brewed stuff that awards effects similar to potions and/or gives bonuses in constitution and temporary health.
How do I get my players to eat a healthy meal or forage/hunt for something themselves?
I figure I could have goblins steal their rations but I'm like 70% sure my group would just go after them for their crackers and dried meat rather than search for fresher food themselves.
Jose Martinez
I've been working on some common food and drink items, mostly just drinks, really, for my campaign if anyone's interested in me sharing.
Also, I normally use James Townsend and Son Youtube for reference.
SOP for chocolate rations is to break them. Each square is x amount of time calories.
Additionally, the chances of you surviving are slim, and no one wants to loot a half eaten bar off a corpse you flithy savage.

Why? Possibility of parasites? I'm pretty sure boiling tends to kill them.

btw im thinking of putting some type of food mechanic into my session, like if you eat some really good lamb steak you get a bonus to con for 4 hours or so, like that new final fantasy game with the ramen noodles and gladio or w/e his name is
