I'm putzing around looking at what's saved in my cart and perusing books online. Somehow these themed cookbooks come up in my feed. I didn't realize that there was a plethora of specifically themed cook books- official and otherwise. Many based on video games. Books like A Feast of Ice & Fire, Fallout: The Vault Dweller's Official Cookbook, Overwatch, The Elder Scrolls Official Cookbook, Lost Recipes: Unofficial Hobbit & LotR's Cookbook, and The NecroNomNomNomicon.

So, the question is this- how many of you own these books and who has actually cooked themed food for their gaming group? Those that have, do you have any recommendations? We all know about rat-on-a-stick. What are some other good and easy dishes you have created?

-Fred T. Jane

"There is only one rule to our war game: simulate reality."
-Michael F. Korn

"Only the dead have seen the end of war."
-George Santayana

No foodies on the forum?

I'll try to tempt you to post a favorite recipe with some Dothraki Blood Pie.

What type of dishes would you expect to see?

I can't recall ever making themed food for my groups, but I used to have "slice and dice" and "soup and slay" nights, where I'd make homemade pizza or soup (respectively) for our group to eat before the session.
