Some of my best gaming memories include food. A couple we were close with hosted many a family style RPG session, including full home cooked meals that could have been done by a Halfling run inn, but were made by a generous Human man. And everyone who’s been to Gamer Nation Cons recalls those Wednesday night dinners. Now Wizards of the Coast has a cookbook,\u00a0Heroes’ Feast,<\/em> for providing such a meal for your own tabletop gaming group.<\/p>\n

\"\"With chapters for each race and menus from some of the D&D multiverse’s famed dining establishments, your own feast can be tailored to the party composition, or the campaign world. Alas, only a handful of dishes from each menu have recipes; the other items are just flavor text. Speaking of flavor, all the photographs make the foods look both beautiful and tasty. There is a final chapter of Elixirs and Ales, some of them non-alcoholic. The book concludes with some tips for combining meals and gaming without making a mess of both.<\/p>\n

How easy are the recipes to use and follow? Pretty easy, actually, although a glossary of some basic cooking terms would be helpful for more novice chefs. Most are intended to serve four to six people, about the size of a standard adventuring party. My husband, Mark, tried out the first recipe in the book, Traveler’s Stew, recently. It’s easily the best beef stew I have had. Dark beer gives it an extra-rich and earthy flavor. (We used Guinness.) Mark picked up Heroes’ Feast<\/em> only a month ago and we’ve already had it twice. We haven’t decided which recipe we’ll try next but I, at least, am having fun reading through them.<\/p>\n

But, what if all your gaming is online? Or, your tabletop group isn’t playing D&D, or another fantasy RPG, anytime soon? Cook Heroes’ Feast<\/em> recipes for your Star Wars, supers, Cyberpunk, etc. group. (Re-skinning is a gaming tradition.) Most muggle potlucks would be better for something a little different. And who doesn’t get tired of The Same Old Things for everyday suppers?<\/p>\n

Heroes’ Feast<\/em> is available in several formats at several price points. The regular hardback is US$22.30, a spiral bound version (which lays flat for convenience while cooking) is $35.99, and the Kindle (ebook) is $14.99. (All prices are from Amazon.) The Kindle version also gets you a $1.50 credit for Amazon’s Great on Kindle ebook selections.<\/p>\n
