Food is the basis of life. Every race needs it to survive, they have to make do with what they have, and they'll want it made to taste as good as they'd like. So I find the use of food as a form of worldbuilding really compelling, whether it's fantastical ingredients that find their way into dishes, or an indicator of diet and culture by what different groups eat.How do you do your food worldbuilding? What's some good food you've made for your setting?
>>92501286>What kind of meat pies?Tourtière
Any resources you guys would recommend for a beginner trying to understand more about historical food preparation and preservation methods? Especially stuff from 1920s or earlier.Only just beginning to get into cooking myself and something I'm particularly curious about is how people did rations and stored food pre-refrigeration. I know some of the basic ones like smoking / potted meats / drying, but I'm wondering if there's some more obscure ones out there.>>92501188Did you just kind of ask them inbetween sessions or was there an in-game element to it, like a waiter asking them for what they want? Feels like food could be a fun bit of flavor (heh) during downtime.
party cares much more about drinks than food, see pic attached
>>92504641boiling water using hot stones pulled from the fire was a big one in ancient times. especially if you didn't have any cookware. you could dig a little pit, line it with the same kind of animal hide you'd use for making a waterskin, fill it with water and all your soup ingredients, make a fire a few feet away, and then when the stones in the fire are red-hot drop them into the soup-pit. in terms of preserved food rations, people would obvioulsy have most things dried (fruits, roots, jerky) and would rehydrate them as soup. just like with instant oats today, pre-industrial people could make cereal-based field rations by pre-cooking or steaming oats/barley before a journey, rolling them out, letting them dry again, and then packing them up. that's how you get quick-cook grains.
>>92501036>>92501188Pretty much. My players don't care, but I worldbuild for myself. It helps me relax. I read about something cool historically or in fantasy and I think how it would fit into my setting. And I do it. 99% of it will never matter for players however.

Bait. You need to define what's "wrong" with it in the first place. But there's nothing wrong with it. YGO is fine. The "issue" is the same as with any other TCG or mini game. You need to spend money. The game itself is however fine. If you don't understand cars and don't read them that's a you problem. Most of those effects could be shortened to keywords honestly, but keywords are annoying. You'd need to know what they do. That was my biggest issue about getting into MTG. If you don't like the main format play Speed or Rush. Both are simple, easier, without many of the cards, so you can play slower, grindier games.

So... these are the models that Age of Sigmar players are shitting and pissing themselves over. To be honest I'm really not seeing the hype. Would expect more from a community that values itself on quality of models at the cost of lore and gameplay.

I know things like Mythic GME and MUNE and oracles to GM for solo play.Are there equivalents to run Players for solo GMing? I want to run a DCC level 0 funnel because I've heard they're super fun and addicting, even for solo play (https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/91134085/#91148746), but if I'm reading the adventure then obviously I already can see all the twists and turns, the answers to puzzles, i've either got to dick around in character(s) doing solutions I out of character know are wrong and even dangerous, or else handwave all that and go straight for the solutions. But if I partially or fully offload the decision-making of the peasant gongfarmers, suddenly that's not an issue.Obviously it's not going to be the same kind of fun as solo playing with a gm emulator, more like watching an anthill as all the little dudes scurry around and go about their business, but it still sounds fun.
>>92483728Cloud Empress (uses Mothership rules) has a great solo play booklet with a player simulator.Muspelhell (an OSE adventure) includes an AutoDM screen that is pretty sweet.
>>92498287I honestly don't get your post
>>92507084That's probably because he misused the quotation arrow. Imagine the same post without it.
Just use a simple oracle, idea generator and PCs stats/skills.The PCs enter a room with a secret passage in it.Do the PCs look for secret passages?How likely are they to do it? They heard rumors of a secret passage leading to the treasure and they aren't chased by anything or in a rush, so very likely.Roll your oracle or use the best related stat out of all the PCs (if it was unlikely, I would use the worst stat out of all of the PCs). Usually Intelligence, Perception, Wisdom, whatever. No/Failed stat or skill roll. Okay, but why? If it had been 50/50 odds I wouldn't bother finding out why, but here it feels important. I don't have any idea so I use my idea generator. I'm using an online words generator this time and I get power+traffic lightsSounds like a teleportation circle to me. So it's their center of attention and they don't think about looking for other passages while trying to figure out the circle.If you don't like creating things on the fly and are using a pre-made dungeon or whatever, use logic/what is expected in the situation. It's always your best tools. If there isn't anything in the room that could distract or prevent them from searching, they have a random encounter of some kind that prevents it. You can even discard the next random encounter you roll since you're using one right now.Playing the GM to a bunch of NPC heroes is super easy. It's the best way to play/test modules in solo mode. It's like 20X easier than playing solo as a PC. It's also lighter on GM duties. In PC solo mode you have to create a lot of stuff as you play to limit GM knowledge and bring in surprises. In GM mode you just have to roll for PC actions/reactions.In GM mode you can use a simple Yes/No oracle, but I would suggest also using a random event trigger, like rolling a match on your oracle dice or a certain number on a special die. In this case it's not a random event, but a random PC action/reaction/plan.
>>92509628con'tSo let's say I decide that when rolling an oracle question, I will also roll a d10. On a 1, the PCs do something dumb and unexpected instea dof the Yes/No result. On a 10 they do something clever and unexpected.You can also use a different die to represent the odds of something like that happening. Maybe your PCs are very by-the-book heroes, so you use a d20. Maybe it's a bunch of rogues who always use out-of-the-box tactics so you use a d6.You determine the unexpected action like you would a random event in Mythic. You can create a Focus list or not, but use a random idea generator. Or go full minimalist and ask a bunch of questions to an oracle to determine the action. But I would keep that oracle simple with no additional random action trigger.Always keep the context and what happened in the story/dungeon/wild so far in mind when using oracles and idea generators.For combat, I have my own way. I roll a d6 for each of my PCs and this is the number of rounds they do what I expect them to do. When they reachh their number, they do something unexpected and I roll a d6 for them again. It takes some book keeping, but it works for important fights. I'm more into wargames when it comes to unimportant fights.

The reason I don't like GURPs is the dice.It's all based on D6 rolls. 3D6 is your most common roll to achieve anything. Personally, I like the cool polyhedral dice many systems use, that's part of the fun, and I like predictable percentages for probabilities.When you roll 3D6, it's not an even distribution. The chances of getting a 3 is less than the chance of getting a 4, which is less than the chance of getting a 5, etc. It's a strong bell curve. So a full 50% of your rolls will be a 9, 10, 11, or 12. Over and over again, 9,10,11,12. That's kinda boring. If you, as a GM, want a bonus to give the character about a 10% better chance of success, you're screwed. There's no way to give a character a +10% bonus without it becoming a mathematical quagmire.
>>92498315I read a post from a bad DM here, probably in one of the dice threads, about how he needs to quickly do math to dynamically set the odds of success for his players to a certain percentage, instead of using the rules of the system. OP might be that guy.I think GURPs was only mentioned to draw attention to his shitpost.
>>92480127Bell curves are for cowards, you know the most likely results before you touch the dice at all.
