Issue 6 Eating for Adventurers
By Stefan Jones
Meals at an Inn
Most T&T adventures are not the sort of errands
where characters need to be bothered with trivial
details like eating, or keeping track of rations.
However, on extended quests the challenge of staying
fed can add to the fun rather than being an exercise in
tedious bookkeeping. Below are a set of suggested
rules for dealing with buying food, foraging, and
staying fed.
Virtually every inns and tavern serves meals to their
guests. The quality varies with the type of inn and how
much the guest is willing to pay. The quality of a meal
doesn't affect a character's health unless the GM
makes a special ruling; but meals could affect an
adventure in other ways. A potential employer might
look down her nose at adventurers who are seen
eating boiled turnips, for example. On the other hand,
a fancy meal might make a nice bribe for an official
whose favor the adventurers are trying to curry
(Mmmmm, curry!). Eating an especially rich and fancy
meal could have consequences as well, ranging from
being a bit slow or having gas.
Meals at an Inn
Miserable Meal
Ordinary Meal
Fancy Meal
Sumptuous Feast
ple
To be in tip-top shape for adventuring, characters
need at least two square meals a day. The quality
doesn't matter; a meal could be a feast, a piece of hard
tack and a bit of sausage, or a couple of handfuls of
bugs, berries, and roots resulting from foraging. A
character that eats two or more meals is well fed and
suffers no penalties.
file
Well Fed, Hungry, and Starving
Sa
m
Characters that eat just one meal per day are hungry.
Hungry characters take twice as long (twenty minutes)
to regain a lost point of Strength (STR) or Wizardry
(WIZ). They also heal damage to Constitution (CON)
at half the normal rate (1/2 point a day).
Characters that go without a meal for more than a day
are starving. Starving characters regain lost STR and
WIZ at one-sixth the normal rate (one point every
hour). They not only do not regain lost points of
CON through normal healing, but they also lose one
point of CON each day. This damage cannot be
healed by magic or potions, but is "healed"
immediately after eating two hearty meals and getting a
good night's sleep. Eating just one meal returns a
character to hungry status; the hunger damage then
starts to heal at "normal" hungry rate of a half point a
day.
Buying Food
Meals can be served up at an inn ready to eat,
purchased in the form of raw materials for cooking, or
bought in the dried or salted form for eating on the
road or underground. Players should feel free to have
their characters bargain for better prices!

Miserable meals consist of poor peasant fare like
porridge, hard black bread, and thin fish soup.
Ordinary meals include dishes like stew, good bread and
butter, cheese, sausage, and greens.
Fancy meals include chops of fresh meat, roast fowl,
vegetables with sauces, and good wine.
Sumptuous feasts are rarely found outside of the homes
of nobles and inns that serve the high-born; they
include fancy roasts, soups, sauces, and pastries.
The basic price includes some kind of drink, ranging
from cheap ale to a goblet of fine wine. Extra rounds
might add 20% to the price of the meal.
Raw Ingredients
If the campaign deals with the characters' lives
between adventures, they will want to know what it
costs to stock their cupboard.
