Heh. You wouldn't believe the pushback you get if you even suggest that adding an optional rules packet for any non-combat aspect of the game. The whole "anything outside of combat must be free-form" brigade is very loud, very vocal and very willing to die on that hill. And any suggestion of adding any mechanics becomes an attack on playstyle. Like you say, it's pretty much self-evident to me too. But, apparently, lacking, or half-baked mechanics counts as support.

Wait, what? The want to count every day whether they successfully hunted or fished or gathered enough to eat, but they don't want to deal with inventory management and travel logistics? That IS inventory control and travel logistics!
A bit more details would have been neat. But at least they have found a druid variant that has a broader consensus. Which giving the heated discussions here on board was not a given. Some predicted a crashing failure...
Goodeberries should not give any food equivalent.
