Bonus Episode 85 - Soup and Loot

[StrobeSML]

I was listening to the discussion of food and, while we've done soup night at our table, we've also done barbecue nights. Hot dogs and burgers are normally on the list. However, a couple of times, I spent some time on the smoker and smoked some ribs.

I don't recommend ribs (or wings) for gaming. You pretty much have to stop the game because you don't want to touch the dice, character sheets, etc. with barbecue sauce covered fingers. Pit beef or pork, put on buns, is better.

One of the more successful ones, though, was when I smoked some salmon. I got some pita chip, topped it with whipped cream cheese and a little of the salmon and it was eaten up through the evening. These were a favorite at another game at our local game store, too.

We haven't done that in quite a while. Pat had a nice gas grill. I'm not sure fi Chad even has a grill. I love my smoker, but it certainly isn't portable to take over. I live close enough I could potentially smoke something and run home to get it. I wouldn't do Ribs or Brisket because they take more attention, but I could do most other things.

The smoked salmon idea sounds amazing.

Everyone just pitches in and hires a chef. Problem solved.

D&D Dinner Theater.
You go to a nice specialized gaming space where you are treated to a nice meal and a one-shot complete with props, music, special effects, actors as NPC's.

There are a few games that are run like that at GenCon. Props and food were part of the flow of the game, seamlessly brought in and fit the theme of the events that were occurring. Closest thing to LARPing that I will do anymore. I could be persuaded if the PC's/ NPC's were filled with people I trusted.

I could absolutely get on board with that.

Not related to food, but once I went to a D&D themed play locally, that was actually an improv show. They pulled one person from the audience to be a character in the play and adjusted the show based on their actions. It was super fun to watch!

STL's main improv theater does this too.

It was neat, and had some small star power because Mark Meer played the bad guy.
