The 3rd printing was better than this new shit. More options and better recipes in general.

Which edition are you reading?
2nd ed Din-Des was just a solid carb power bloat imo.

vegetables at later levels paled in comparison to a good starch

I loved it when I played pretend with other nerds and made up rules for a non-existant game as I went along.

I loved it when someone who is obviously a social fucktard decided to come and piss his glass-half-empty demeanor all over someones innocent thread.

sage for shitty cookbook, Desserts Daily is far superior

>>10755008
I loved it when the haters hated.

Actually OP, I'm reading the newest one

They gave Potato's daily powers

I mean the fuck.

My potato doesn't need the ability to shoot long ranged spuds, It has one purpose only charge the enemy and take the hit for us.

Lol 4thed more like Diner of Dincraft.

>>10755098
4th ed simplifies the cooking procedure, and gives all classes utensils; it makes it more interesting. In 3rd ed, when you got up to Feast dinners, you just had master chefs running around, with the rest of the team useless.
If you don't like it, stick with 3rd rather than bitching.

I prefer my homebrew system, which I call Bacon & Beans.

>>10755092
Your trolling right? that's the wrong way to do Potato's. A potato makes a great side to any dish it is not main course standard.

I assume you were going raw potato as well? The best potato is the variant with butter and salt with that new ranged you can fill any monster just by looking at it.

4E is McDonald's level casual.

>>10755092

But what about the Spudchucker paragon path for potatoes? It totally allows for a ranged Potato warrior who uses ranged attacks to stymie foes. Cuts from razor sharp chips, slowing their movement with mashed potato globs and even the daily of Spilled Gravy, creating a hazard zone.

>>10755179

Goddammit.

>>10755169
I hear Potato Power will have new builds.

...anyone already picked up the Eastern Cuisine splatbook?

It's fucking horrible. Seriously. Overpowered weaboo shit.

>>10755201
I prefer the Amazon Tubermidon paragon path myself. Pic related.

Oh man, do I have a Dinners & Desserts story. First of all, our Chairman has a total hard-on for potatos, right? He's like the stereotypical potatofag - he has folders named 'potatogirls' and 'potatoboys' on his laptop, that we've never dared to open. Someone once said they saw him a leathery, dry Spudsuit at SpudCon but I refuse to believe he's that bad.

But anyway: mad for tatties, right?

So he says we're going to play a high level game (for once!) right? And he doesn't shove his stupid potato chef - NOT EVEN A REAL CLASS - DMPC who can cook everything better than us into the game either. We decide to go for the classic national party, right? We've got Italian, Indian, French and Chinese. Sure, a bit much and I decide to go Cajun because I'm a bit of a fifth wheel. We start the game...

Setting: Irish potato famine. All our master chefs die and we have to reroll level 1 Irish peasants with no cooking skills who only have access to potatoes.

So, our DM is a faggot. Literally. We'd found out he was a processed meat dish from England not too long before he took the DM's mantle, but now... things aren't as awesome as they used to be.

For instance, many of the NPCs are now either dumplings or mashed potatoes, and are always sticking on the player characters. And the influx of gravy themes is overwhelming like players waking up next to stock cubes or opening a treasure box that is rigged to fire fresh frozen peas everywhere once opened.

I'm comfortable in my masculinity to let this slide, but honestly, what would you do when your quest reward is a cudgel shaped like spotted dick and custard?

>>10755162

For three editions I supported them and then they go and turn this into fucking Easy Bake Oven. Wizards of the Roast can go right to hell as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to Pathfrier.

Fucking potatoes.
Give me a rice, with a few sleight-of-hand feats any day

>>10755300
Um. The point of the potato famine was that people DIDN'T have access to potatoes.

2ed potatoes were okay, this newfaggotry is terrible though

>>10755237
And even a line of official minifigs.

>>10755364
...which were the staple food for 1/3rd of the population. And crop loss was not total, but estimated as between 30-60%.

Hey 4kenfurters, enjoy your Mangotaurs and Dragorangeborn. Juice in hell fruitfags.

I know they're grossly underpowered in the metagame, but I can't help always playing a Mac-N-Chesse dish. Say what you will, but the sheer number of available prestige dishes, multi-dishes, and optional spices and condiments always makes it fun. None of the other players are ever sure about what my dish can or can't do.

>>10754991
You must be new here.

Damn this would make an awesome game.

ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO PLAY A PURE ENGLISH COOKING LIST?

>>10755431
It really wouldn't. I imagine you could devise an Iron Chef quick game (taking maybe half an hour - 2 hours) that would be quite fun, though. Maybe something with cards.

>>10755387
Pfft, at least it's not Foie Gras edition. Oh what's that? You want to play a vegetable? You want to not be liver pate? Enjoy the Dining Master hating your meal for not being the perfect at everything meal.

Be careful OP, make sure you didn't buy the American edition, it is said that it is cursed and all food described within it causes the players to eerily put on hundreds of pounds, session after session.

you can't stat buldak in 4e, this is bullshit

>>10755162
That's exactly the problem. 4e basically assumes that you use precooked dinners and freeform the cooking process. It also tries to homogenize the flavor by all means. I mean, what the hell? Pumpernickel does NOT taste like filet mignon, and shit twinkies are NOT a viable food class! What were they thinking?

Oldfag here.

You little shits havn't got the balls to play 1st edition, Basic. We had water, which was either cold or boiled, and we had bread. And we liked it. Want to play a vegetable? Enjoy getting to level 9 and staying fucking right there.

>>10755531

Shit twinkies? Why are you even letting your PCs play an Evil-only class?

>Potato famine
Well that's what you get for being fussy eaters.

>>10755574
That's the thing. With 4e, you get Shit Twinkie Main Courses.

/tg/ is the only place where this thread could happen.

And I love you for it.

2Gfag here, I have to say, I actually enjoy 4G. I mean, we had a couple of players who really enjoyed cooking, but hated all the complicated options for making dinner, they just wanted to sit down with an ingredient list, boil some water, and make some fucking food. 4G lets them do that, so I'm cool with it. Of course, I ban all wheat in my game, because I'm allergic to the shit.

>my face when next expansion will include even more plates

>>10755756
Sucks to be your players.

>>10755816

Bitch, plates are fantastic.

>>10755756
I must agree, as sometimes I feel, just like you, to just sit down and have dinner be an easy thing and not much of a hassle, which is the case with 4e. But other times, I wanna be a creator of all of this awesome food and all of these great things, like with 3e. I play both to be honest, neither of them are bad,

4e is irshboo potato edtion fuken wizrds of teh roast

HEY RECIPEFAGS, WARMINGPLATE 40Kw JUST CALLED.

ENJOY YOUR AUTISTIC COURSESHEETS WHILE I'M SLINGING BUCKETS OF DICE AND DROPPING DINNERPLATE EVERYWHERE WITH MY SKHONE BAKEZERKERS.

BREAD FOR THE BREAD GOD.

This whole thread needs to be archived or at least capped. Holy shit, I'm lol-ing so goddamned hard.

Has anyone seen 4e stats for the Jellotinous Cube yet?

They can't have left it out, can they? I mean, there's always room for...

>>10756151

Go back to your Spice Marines, 40kob.

>>10756240

>>10756271

forgot the shoulderpads

I'd post the rest, but fuck it.

>>10756240
Everyone knows Spice Marines are bullshit.

Real men play Sous Spice Marines or Necorns.

Imperial Gourds are also acceptable.

>>10756372
>Imperial gourds

I lost.

Everybody knows Diners & Deserts is an entry level cooking experience anyway. Players who want real flavor will play World of Diners, Foodlands, Legend of the 5 Deserts, or Simmerrun.

>>10756409
Simmerrun is just Dinners & Desserts with propane replacing the char coal grills...

>>10756409
It's like I'm really back in 1998!

What next, are you gonna tell him that Organicmages are the next big thing, and that taking worshipping Carbo'hydratese is a bad idea?

I usually just run with Sushi-based builds, but they always seem to get so much crap from everyone else. They're far from munchkin, but they've always been useful.

>>10756409

Don't forget Dark Dining and Rogue Chef

I prefer GURPS, the Generic Universal Recipe and Palate System. It's good for EVERYTHING!

>>10757027
>>10756597
Weaboos

Has anyone tried playing with the optional rules from Brews & Booze? I was thinking of picking up a level of vintner on my level 5 steak. I realize that would prevent me from ever getting Prime Rib, but I don't think we're going to make it past level 10 anyway.

>>10759602
Thats a horrible horrible idea.

Why the hell would you play a fast and dirty dish rather then a slow and elegant one, IF you decide to go longer your fucked man.
