New Background - Cook

[Jimbro]

Hey all. I tried my hand at making a Cook background since Guild Artisan didn't quite cut it for all my delicious needs. Let me know what you think. When it's ready I'll add it to the database. http://worldbuilderblog.me/2014/12/23/artisanal/

Actually, cooks were indeed guild members. There's a Livery Company in London, the Worshipful Company of Cooks of London, founded in 1170.

The Company is also one of the oldest livery companies. It can trace its origins back to the 12th Century, founded from two guilds of cooks in medieval London - the Cooks of Eastcheap and the Cooks of Bread Street. The Cooks Livery received its first charter in 1482, and is now thirty-fifth in the City’s Livery table of precedence.

Innkeepers would have been members of The Worshipful Company of Innholders.

This is repeated elsewhere: consider the Scuola of Venice.

Wow that is really cool. I had no idea. Thanks for sharing!

Still the Guild Artisan background as written doesn't work for me for all cooks, so I'm glad to have the background.

One of my players is a cook, I sent it along to him, so it might get played. Until this point I used a variant of the Sailor. Instead of working on a ship for free bed, he worked in a tavern.
