This roleplay is a mini-event within the Chronology Series.
Check out our Discord server for OOC and information on our other roleplays!
It didn’t matter where you were from, be it a civilization far beyond the final frontier of space, a kingdom crawling with knights, or somewhere in between, you all received an invitation for one reason and one reason alone.
You all knew how to cook in some way or another.
So here you all are today, gathered to compete in a cook off assembling culinary genius of all kinds from across the multiverse. Three rounds, three judges, one winner. Who will come out on top in the Great Multiverse Cook off?!
1. All RPN rules apply.
2. Please, please, please for the love of whatever force is up there in the clouds and amongst the essence of the universe, try to have good sportsmanship. This is the first “competitive” TCS event of any kind, and I don’t want it to be the last because certain people couldn’t handle being eliminated early on.
3. In addition to the rule above, please respect the judges and that their decisions on elimination and extra points are FINAL. Please, try to avoid OOC drama in any kind over this roleplay.
4. Please avoid OOC discussion within threads related to this and all TCS roleplays. Use the Discord linked above for all OOC talk.
5. All writing styles are welcome, no matter the length, tense, or perspective. That being put out there, no text talk, and try to be at least somewhat grammatically correct. Extra points can be given for writing the cooking steps well, so I recommend trying a little more than the bare minimum.
6. Only one character per person, sorry. No duos in this mini-event. Familiars and companions that are built into the character don’t count as separate characters.
7. While there is no requirement to post every so often, I will ask that you finish the recipes you start and that you at least post once per round. The only exception to this is eliminated people.
Cooking
Rather than combat and mystery solving, this mini-event relies heavily on cooking. For each round, you must find a recipe that fits the theme. For each step of the recipe, you will write out your character doing that step and roll a d20, adding whatever proficiency you have related to the step to your roll. After all of the steps have been completed, you will find the average (add all of the numbers together and divide by the number of recipes) of all of your rolls, rounding down any decimals, and that will be your dish’s score. Up to three points can be added to the score for good writing of the cooking steps, but otherwise your fate is in luck’s hands.
Proficiencies
Rather than skills and powers on the character sheet, there will be cooking proficiencies. For each proficiency, there will be a letter grade associated with it. The letter grades affect the rolls of cooking steps associated with the proficiencies by adding or subtracting the respective numbers from the rolls.
A = +2
B = +1
C = +0
D = -1
F = -2
For example, one character could have an A in soup-making, but an F in frying. Therefore any cooking steps related to soup-making they’d add two to their roll, and any step related to frying they’d subtract two from their roll. Any step that doesn’t have a proficiency on the character’s sheet related to it is automatically a C. However, to stop people from being a jack of all trades, for every two positive proficiencies there must be a negative proficiency.
Judges
There will be three people judging the competition. One of them is obviously me, and the other two hopefully know who they are. After everyone has finished with their dishes, the judges will of course “judge” the dishes, adding extra points for good writing and overall write the judges tasting and reacting to the food’s quality. After all of the dishes have been judged, the three will eliminate anyone who didn’t finish the dishes and whoever scored the lowest. However, I will not rule out the idea that people getting eliminated on the basis of in-roleplay shenanigans isn’t possible and that scoring is the only way to get out. Setting other people’s food on fire is not the best path to victory, I’ll have you know. Like you should treat your waiters well so they don’t spit in your food, you should treat your judges well so they don’t take you out.
Elimination
Every round before the final third, there will be a number of people eliminated based either on the score or otherwise. They will be left to spectate the competition and to help settle ties in the following rounds if two people end up with the same score. This isn’t death, but it’s not exactly what you want either.
Appearance: Self-explanatory. A picture or description is satisfactory.
Name: Well, what is it? Any nicknames or aliases?
Canon: What does your character originate from? If your character is an OC, just say "OC". If your character is an OC specifically from an established canon, put the name of the canon and "OC" next to it.
Cooking Proficiencies: List them all from A to F. Proficiencies are explained above in mechanics.
Cooking Experience: Basically a bio, except focusing more on what experience the character has with cooking than the overall background.
Other: Anything else?
