When Your Party Is Low On Food

[Diamond Cross]

When your party is low on food, do you actually chop up some of the monsters you've killed for food?

We are usually forced to eat Robin's minstrels.








......and there is much rejoicing.

Not sure if we ever have, but we would if necessary, I suppose. Sounds like a great opportunity for a gruesome memory, heh.

Mostly depends on the game system. In D&D it comes up very rarely -- it's quite hard to run out of food if the group even half-heartedly tries to maintain supply. If it does happen, consumption depends on the critter. We'll generally avoid eating undead, oozes, fungi, and poisonous critters. Most groups will avoid eating critters with humanoid parts.

Depends on the situation, but often times hunting for normal game can work to keep a reasonable food supply.

 

[Crothian]

We just order pizza.

 

[Theo R Cwithin]

There's a reason it was called the Donner party.

 

[IronWolf]

We just order pizza.

Mmmmmm.... Pizza!

That's one way to do it, if you're hungry.

But what if you're sad?

Depends on the creature type. Eating a grid bug gives you electricity resistance but lichen and kobolds tend to be poisoned. I ate a lich once and gain polymorph powers. Weird.
