Episode 15 - Food

In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we discuss food. We discuss how food can define a scene, a setting, and a culture. We explore the starvation rules in DnD 5e and in Pathfinder 2nd edition, discuss what’s so frustrating about them, and propose some ways that you can make starvation a meaningful concept in a game where Goodberry exists.

Special thanks to @ for this week’s question of the week.
