Anthony Anderson @despisedsamaritan.com · 30/04/2026I live by the law of 3s. Most people can retain, at most, 3 new pieces of information at a time. If a particular bit of foodstuffs is the relevant worldbuilding I want to establish as important for the scene/setting, I'll go more crazy with things. 110
Anthony Anderson @despisedsamaritan.com · 30/04/2026Most of the time, I give them cool variants on things they already know. A latte but the sweetener is using a freshly cracked, muddled fruit of unknown origin. Or a hookah bar but the smoke being produced is colored differently at each table. 110
Anthony Anderson @despisedsamaritan.com · 30/04/2026I also invariably have at least one bartender in the world (usually a recurring NPC) who personalizes drink orders based on how they read the PC in question. I've spent 20 minutes in sessions describing the process and final product given to each party member. 110
