Introduction to Chef RPG

Core Experience

  • Solo-first design that naturally scales to group play
  • 45-minute sessions - fast-paced, complete game loops
  • Genre-agnostic - works in fantasy, sci-fi, cartoon, or any setting
  • Cozy/funny tone - no death, just comedic disasters and culinary triumphs
  • Dice + cards - accessible mechanics using d20s and standard playing cards

Inspirations

  • Delicious in Dungeon - cooking meets adventure, experimental cuisine
  • Colostle - 4 classes with abilities tied directly to exploration and combat
  • Futurama - humor, hijinks, and lighthearted tone

Genre-Agnostic Design

The game works in any setting by re-skinning the narrative while keeping mechanics identical:

Characters maintain the same mechanical roles regardless of genre.
