Hiya everybody!
Was browsing Tabletop twitter as you do and saw an interesting discussion around the use of "Exotic" as a not great term in gaming (e.g. exotic loot drops and the like) as it implies a certain sense of non-native things being weird or other. While I was definitely leaning more towards Exotic as in Exotic Loot Drops when deciding on the name for Exotic Ingredients I can 100% see the issue with the name. So instead I've changed it to "Secret Ingredient" which honestly on the whole is just a better name because it both ties into No Stone Unturned (renamed from 'Frontier Gastronomy' for similar reasons) leaving the effect of a foraged ingredient unknown, and is also kind of a pun which I always enjoy.
Other changes include:
"comforting: Anybody who eats this meal will feel more positively about you (even if they do not show it)"
"Cook, Serve, Delicious!
Add:
“Fast: Somebody will pay a reasonable price you agree on to have this meal”
to your staple effects list, and add:
“luxurious: Somebody will pay a high price you agree on to have this meal”
to your gourmet meal effects list"
That's everything for now. Chugging away on a few related projects but they're slow going due to my final year of uni.
As always, 🍛Happy Cooking!🍛
