My son got this book for Christmas, as he is playing 5e and also getting into cooking more and more lately. Over the season, we tried several of the recipes and I must say they were delicious.

Not really a collectible but it deserves a shout out. Jon Peterson, one of the authors, is a member here.

Highly recommended!

I got this book as a gift. When I first saw it I laughed and said I'd probably never use it. I leafed through it later and some of the recipes look pretty interesting. A few of the NTRPG Facebook page members have been giving many of the recipes a try and have really enjoyed them.

My kids and I have tried the chili recipe for Heroes' Feast and it was delicious. We will be trying more for sure in the future. First D&D themed recipe book I bought since the ones contained in Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home; only this time I made something to eat! Will try more.

Speaking of Jon as a member here. Get his book The Elusive Shift if you haven't! Fantastic book covering the "role-playing" side of things. I am closing in on the finish line of that book but loving the insights and the footnotes and marveling at the research it would have taken to compile said book. Perfect companion to Playing at the World and in my opinion another "must have" book for those interested in gaming history.

Heroes' Feast was a fun project to work on, and I'm glad it's connected with a lot of people. Can't take any credit for the recipes themselves, but it was fun figuring out ways to wring data about food out of the various D&D sources.

Elusive Shift is more on the scholarly side, but was also fun to do some work outside the scope of D&D - much more about how RPGs as a genre emerged in the wake of D&D. I can't say that it presents an exhaustive list of games published before 1980 we should consider RPGs, but it's the best I could do, anyway. Be interested if collectors think there are any glaring omissions.

So is it a cookbook?
I can't cook. Don't think it'll help me any.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Does the book have a recipe for poluchili? I'm wondering because it's apparently going to be on the menu a lot for the next year-&-a-half or so. Some people describe it as mythical, so maybe it might have been included in this volume.

No, just the Arkhan The Cruel’s Flame-Roasted Halfling Chili.

There could be other flame roasting recipes, though.

I have become a great cook. I use simple recipes:

1. Open chicken noodle soup can. Pour into bowl.

2. Put in microwave for 1:10; stop and stir at :35.

3. Enjoy!
