This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Do You Have Fast Food Restaurants In Your Campaign?

I think most historians are pretty well aware of how sophisticated ancient cultures were. The main parts where they're biased are:
*Rousseau-like ideas of hunter-gatherer cultures being idyllic, peaceful, and egalitarian. This is more of a problem with other fields and is basically the entirety of anthropology.
*Assumptions made from limited archeology and written sources. "We found an elephant coin and elephant statues. They must have worshiped elephants."
*The post-Enlightenment concept of the "Dark Ages" where Medieval Europe was full of drooling idiot Monty Python peasants wallowing in mud, and the Catholic church waged a war on "Science" until the "Renaissance" meant people were allowed to look at Greco-Roman statues again and the Science score went up.

I'd definitely have food stalls (with a regions local food). You couldn't play in WFRP without having some pie vendor trying to sell you his latest baked pies (probably made from human flesh). LOL

But absolutely no coffee shops... Any player looking for a Laté can shove it up their ass!

Greetings!

*Laughing* Excellent, my friend! Yeah, campaigns need to have food vendors selling fruit pies, and savory, well-spiced meat pies! (Stuffed with mystery meat!)

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Damn straight bro'! :)

Historically street vendors were a thing quite a ways back. Though not in their more familiar forms until the late 1800s if recall right. Before and after that inns and taverns filled the niche to varying degrees.

In my own setting there are no real "fast food" restaurants. Taverns? Sure. But that is a different venue really.

In my sci-fi campaign there are a few. There are oddly none in Star Frontiers unless it is buried in one of the entertainment corps and never mentioned. Dont think even the Dragon/Ares articles ever mentioned any. But there must be some under the entertainment industry. I'll have to drag out the old articles to see. All I can say is I sure as heck wouldnt eat anything Streel produces.

None in Universe either. Though that is more a "make as you go and make what you will" sort of empty campaign.
