11 - Flavour
Having already talked about games set around taverns and other eating and drinking establishments this month...
Different systems can change the feel of a genre or the focus on a setting, but the GM and players provide and choose the flavour on top of that. What do we include or exclude, introduce, want more of?
11a - 5, 5, 1
Why, Confident, Adventure
It’s the start of what we might call “adventuring season” in a setting with public heroics - a tournament at Camelot, the superhero Olympics, something like that. Or some equivalent like the first game in the year for a sport, Battle Of The Bands for a game about musicians, and so on.
(For an odd example I did this for my long-running Buffy game The Watch House with the Watchers in training having to show how that training was going through various tests, like a school sports day with added monster attacks.)
The PCs get to meet and get the measure of other parties, friendly or otherwise, and show off what they can do. And if some other kind of plot happens that can shake up some expectations.
And since I just remembered to mention Flavour, there will probably be a nice meal at some point.
Or we could go all in on that and make the goal of the challenge to bring back a rare spice?
Plug for the adventure The Anaitis Ingredient in Dead Rock Seven for Ashen Stars, where the PCs have to protect a cooking competition from a time warp attack.
