Flavorer Puns

i want to hear some great ice cream flavor pun names. just kinda board. nothing special.

Links would be great for a simple primer, or random generators, big lists I can digest, or whatnot. The purpose here is to build myself a simple table, to add an architectural element to a scene, or culture. Mostly for tabletop gaming.

Like with food, one little detail can make a world of difference, so if you have a few flavorful (pun intended) tables to roll off of in your worldbuilding it can add a lot of immersion. Even something like "Dwarves like hearty stew" can make a difference.

So I'm trying to parse architecture as another element to spice up my cultures with. Like how does architecture, infrastructure, and so on correlate to culture? I don't want to get campy or hackneyed, but a simple "Drow structures use sharp angles and pointy arches" I can see making a difference. Maybe a typical accent feature for a specific clan? You could climb up and down and across the tree of scope as needed.

From off the top of my head, we're maybe talking a few categories:

• maybe preferred location/climate/landform/etc?
• types of structure and infrastructure;
• resources/materials used;
• construction and technique;
• style, motifs, accents, art

But that's just a basic unfounded idea. Maybe throw in "Is this native or borrowed?" or like, connected to a general development level of society/tech/magic.

(For example: I like to roll with d6's for simplicity, for a scale of 1-5 plus 6's for special/extreme. Roll twice for a value, and pick the one closest to its 'parent' value. So I might roll on like 1-5 for Development; a low roll there would weight "Materials" to simpler ones like thatch or wood or basic stones or whatever; but if I rolled a rare high there, it might have uncharacteristically detailed carvings or whatever. If that makes sense?)

Thoughts? Anything I'm missing? Thanks.

While, yes, any spell can be flavored (pun intended) to fit a certain theme in D&D, I was wondering if there were any spells that naturally aid the process of cooking food or could be directly flavored to be the results of food. That being said, are there any spells that could play into being related to food? Any and all input is appreciated!

I know we have the nuka cola light and a few other items that resemble food, but I wouldn't mind having something we can place on top of tables. Forks, knives, plates with food, perfectly preserved pies, beer or cola, etc.

I know camp building isn't for everyone, but I also know there's a number of people who stick around solely so they can play around with bases and see what new designs they can come up with. And I personally try to make my camp feel like home as much as I can (or home enough in a nuclear wasteland). Having food out on tables, counter tops, or otherwise positioned in places where you think someone might be eating (at their desk, near a power armor station, etc.) would be great for that extra flavor (pun totally intended).

Maybe make it a requirement that players own the object they want to place down? IE: If you want to place a Nukashine (similar to how you would in a display case), then you need to own the object first.

Could also, as an alternative, make new display option for tableware. Grant us the ability to put down cup coasters or worn plates, then if we have a beer or mirelurk meat (for example) in our inventory, we can set it out on the plate/coaster just as we would with a display case.

Thoughts? Opinions? Strongly worded comments about my personality?

if you need to add some flavor (pun definitly intended) to your world.

1. forks are a large part of this cultures meals, roll 1d4+1 for how many points the forks usualy have
2. spoons are a large part of this cultures meals
3. knives are a large part of this cultures meals
4. edible utensils are used in this culture, roll 1d2 or choose, 1: roll again on this table until you get a utensils, the utensils is made of food 2: a type of food is a utensil such as chips or meats
5. straws and tubes are a large part of this cultures meals
6. Tiny swords. The knives are tiny swords and the forks look like 3 tiny swords lined in a row connected at the hilt. u/Antagnostic
7. This town mashes all their food and only uses small wooden flat spatula like spoons. u/Antagnostic
8. Tongs with spoons for the tines. u/Antagnostic
9. All food is served in bite sized pieces on a shared platter. Each diner is given a wooden skewer to use to spear the food with. Touching the food with your fingers at all is a faux pas. u/Antagnostic
10. 3 foot long chopsticks are used. You must feed another person and accept food being fed to you. u/Antagnostic

Jonathan - Is how we want to be towards others always.

The others of fab 5, viewers and their makeover targets have commented on how truly otherworldly or of higher dimensionality in ways of how open and frontal he can be that it almost seems out of reach to achieve. This member out of all the rest, I believe, is the most natural member to fit in the new fab 5. The fact that he is in the fab 5 holds the glue of identity of the queer eyes and without Jonathan, I actually would feel like the energy, momentum and direction of the Fab 5 would be lost. EQ is very important for a culture like this and to have one of its members always sticking up for it, is the essence of the show. He's flow and grace is in hindsight what can even be ascribed to Bruce Lee's, 'Be like water, my friend," but did he completely removed masculinity? Can he crash as water? Does He abhore it? Im not sure, I'd have to ask him myself. There is no question Femininity and Spirituality are important aspects to worldly being and in that aspect, Jonathan is at one with it.

He is the spiritual and maternal manifestation of queer eye.

Tan - Is how we want to look always.

No surprise that all of the other fab 5 have commented on how striking and sharp and dapper Tan potrays himself even if he has an enormously giant elephant in his backyard (Being a muslim and married. I live in a muslim country, I know the feeling) Still, none of it is shown or can be seen when Tan is out there on the field, 24/7, that responsibility and chic to uphold social presentability and responsibility to uphold formal and smooth communications between kids to rocket scientists to politicians is ever present. This holds Tan in a special place of willpower to strive for such sublime ideals, ALWAYS. Its not easy and its self- designed principles are almost a courageous act of self-defiant willpower to seek to be better, constantly, almost like a scientist. That's an immense drive for innovation, progress and evolution that is burdened on a mind long term but which self-proclaimed man would dare out of a challenge of self growth to be better than who they are now, am I right?

He is the physical and reality manifestation of the queer eye.

Karamo - Is how we want to feel always.

There is no surprise that Karamo holds the most important aspect of the show when it comes to empathic psychoanalysis. He gets down and dirty with high EQ to establish not only a rapport but to break down walls that are so evident in today's st

Hi!

I’m on medication that makes me have some pretty wild dreams. Thus, Ketchup Cleric.

Unfortunately, I’ve never homebrewed anything before, much less an entire subclass. Can y’all give me some advice and ideas for creating sauce-flavored(pun intended) abilities and features?

The flavor (pun intended) of the yuan ti of this campaign is that they live in a deep swamp. A bunch of voodoo stuff.

Picante (not his real name) decides that fish and mushrooms are too bland to keep eating. So he chooses to ditch his job as a voodoo priest in training and head out to the world to find and eat exotic dishes.

rolled for stats. start lvl 5 STR 8 DEX 15 CON 15 INT 20 WIS 7 CHA 16

Using the homebrew well traveled background. And picking evocation.

Before you ask hes covering his snake bits with clothes and he will sometimes slip into a cajun accent under extreme stress

And yes i will make use of stinking cloud

It's a niche idea, but I personally think it would be a nice addition to the game if players could craft their own bubblegum.

Plans could be acquired after doing a few short quests in Cranberry Bog; something dealing with the pitcher plants that give Digested Goo. Mix in some rubber, some berries or melons, and boom! Bubblegum!

A silly idea, but one that can bring some flavor (pun intended) into late-game crafting.

Thoughts? Has anyone else ever wanted a method to make those little hunger/thirst reducers?

Salt seems universal in cuisine these days. I try to eat/cook a lot of international foods and the only constant is salt (even in minuscule amounts).

So I'm wondering if everyone always used salt. If not, was the lack of salt because they didn't have access to it? I'm guessing the most common way to get salt was to boil down seawater, or find salt deposits. But I may be wrong about that.

Any insights into this would be appreciated! Thank you!

So, I need a little perspective from you guys. Thing is, I had been dreaming up a character that was the "Witch of the Wilds" type. I didn't want to go druid because it didn't fully capture the feel and I didn't want the wildshaping. Considering how few features it gets because of wildshape, I'd be crippling myself with a useless class. Didn't go ranger because.. ranger.

But, bard really meshed with the concept, but none of the subs quite brought enough of the flavor. This is what I came up with to fill the gap. It's basically meant to feel like shamans from Scandinavian/native american Mythology. Using music and dance to call upon the elements.

(lvl 3) Melodies of Nature:

When you take the College of the Wilds, you attune the power of the elements. You now have access to druidic magic. These are counted as Bard spells for you and when you can choose new spells, you can pick one of these for a level you can cast.

Additionally, your time harmonizing with nature gives you proficiency in Animal Handling or Survival, if you don't have them already.

(Lvl 3) Elemental Fury:

You learn to direct the elemental forces of nature into the attacks of your allies. When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you hits with an attack, you can use your reaction to expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration, rolling a Bardic Inspiration die and add the number to the damage dealt by the attack.

When you use this feature you can choose to imbue the attack with lightning, thunder, fire, cold, or acid damage.

(Lvl 6) Champion of the Wilds

At 6th level, you can call upon the natural energies to protect you in battle. While not wearing armor or using a shield, you can begin a 1 minute long performance that grants you the following benefits while it is active: •You add your charisma modifier to your AC. •You are not affected by naturally occurring rough terrain. •beasts that attack you must succeed on a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or have to choose another target or lose their action if no other creature is in range.

When you take damage while this spell is active, you must make a constitution saving throw as if concentrating on a spell. You can use this feature two times. The uses are regained after a long rest.

(This one, as many will catch, is very close to bladesinger. Truth be told, I've always felt that Bladesinging seemed more like a bard thing. In this way, the magic is meant to manifest in some natural way like bark or stone

I am curious whether you can share the spell Adhesive Spittle with a familiar via Share Spells. As the rules are written, I assume you can't because the range on Adhesive Spittle is not "you". However, the description of the ability unambiguously implies that you are the target of the spell.

For reference here is Adhesive Spittle:

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/a/adhesive-spittle/

and the text of Share Spells is

Share Spells: The wizard may cast a spell with a target of “You” on his familiar (as a touch spell) instead of on himself. A wizard may cast spells on his familiar even if the spells do not normally affect creatures of the familiar’s type (magical beast).

As per this page:

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/wizard/familiar

The phrasing choices that make me fairly certain that the actual Target of the Adhesive Spittle should be, or count as, "you" are in the first and last lines of the spell description and the duration. The first description line is "Once during this spell’s duration, you can spit a viscous liquid as a standard action." the last line is "The adhesive persists for 2d4 rounds after you spit it." and the duration is "1 round/level or until discharged (see text)."

The combination of those three things implies, to me, that the spell effects "you" for the duration but the "Target" of "one creature" is explaining the targeting of spitting the liquid which is not the spell itself per se. The last line of the description really implies to me that the duration is not how long the spell effects the target but how long it effects the caster which makes me think the spell does target "you".

Please let me know what you think and/or if this is the wrong place to ask a rules question.

Edit: I have always liked how Adhesive Spittle works for a witch flavorfully, pun intended. The fact that it costs two actions has always made me sad. If this trick works the way I think it does/want it to I would love to use it at the table by having my raven fly over bad guys vomiting goo on them.

Here's a magic item to toss in game, just for flavor (pun intended as you read on)

This ring appears to be made of bone, with intricate carvings in an unknown tongue. It feels much heavier than you would expect it to be and feels cool to the touch. Any magic user who holds it will sense it radiates magic, but it is unlikely they will know exactly what purpose it serves.

If someone chooses to put the ring on, they will feel a few moments of excruciating pain as the ring bonds itself to the wearers finger (Till death do us part). This pain quickly passes and the wearer returns to normal feeling... however, the ring is cursed and cannot be removed without POWERFUL magic.

First effect: The wearer of the ring gains exceptional low light vision. They can see like it's daylight with very minimal source of light. Even in pitch black darkness, they have some sense of vision, although it's more perceived than actually seen.

Second effect: The wearer gains an overwhelming urge to eat bugs, particularly scarabs, but any bug will suffice. If there are bugs nearby (when aren't there?) they will forgo normal food in lieu of these crunchy snacks. The bugs provide full sustenance and no other meals are required. In the event the wearer was previously a bug eater (think Bullywug, or a previously role played habit), they will now find bugs repulsive and will become ill whenever they attempt to eat them.

I am currently playing a sorcerer who is obsessed with tea, even going so far as to have a focus that is a crystal teacup.

I am looking for some ideas towards tea varieties in Faerun my character can drink on the fly, simply for flavor (pun completely intended). Guess I'm looking for creative minds to stir up some fictional varieties.

Amelia Simmons vs John Harris

The cook that founded pumpkin spice vs the forefather of large-scale bacon manufacturing

Sounds weird, but think about it. Pumpkin spice vs bacon; two of the most widely used, "makes everything better", and somewhat controversial flavors and ingredients in modern society. Sadly there might not be too much known on the opponents, but I think the compare/contrast of the products could still make for an interesting episode, and quite possibly the older version of Ramsay vs Child.

Oh yeah, and Happy Spooktober.

I’m incredibly new to this and wasn’t sure although I assume that you can’t add anything to your water I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask the experts

Who buys gummy worms hoping they’d taste as close to real worms as possible?

I never understood why people like BBQ chips. They have such a strange flavor, don’t go good with meals, and simply aren’t tasty. You can get much better options anywhere that sells them. Even simply salted chips are leagues better than a BBQ chip. Of course there is some really weird flavors that exist, but the normal salted/sour cream and onion/ salt&pepper, vinegar chips are all superior to the horrible BBQ chip.
