Recipe on Kmiydish Paper

You were bloomed with the primordial magic of bacteria...

 

A Recipe on Kmiydish Paper is a one-player game about delicious food and the communities who prepare it.

This solo journaling game built on the Lost & Found SRD (Artefact, Bucket of Bolts, etc.) explores the hidden histories behind our favorite butter pickles, beers, briskets, and breads? And what would it look like if history was seen through their (yeasty) eyes? Instead of playing as adventurers at a tavern, or even a chef behind the scenes, you will inhabit a food from its conception through history in the sister cities of Blue Kmiyd and Rose Kmiyd.

In this game, you will inhabit the world of a recipe as it is prepared, safeguarded, and handed down through generations. These recipes, and the food they create, are well-loved historical relics, mirroring a region’s geography, politics, and people. As you play, you will create the worlds of Blue Kmiyd and Rose Kmiyd, and the conflicts between their peoples and culinary talents. Recipe on Kmiydish Paper is based upon the experiences of pre-WWII Jewish Quarter residents in Eastern Europe and the power and legacy of their food. It’s a love letter to Chowder, Strega Nona, Top Chef, and Mandy Patinkin, to name a few inspirations. No dice are required for play, just something to write on, the Kmiydish Rest playlist, and a few hours to build out a food history. This is a perfect pre-game exercise to flesh out the urban or culinary history of a location you can slot into another TTRPG of your choice.

Dive in to play as:

• The Beverage, from vodka to tea
• The Pastry, from matza to croissants
• The Meat, from tongue sandwiches to kofta
• The Preserve, from sauerkraut to raspberry jam
