Family Meal [ashcan]

You are the chefs and waiters of a small restaurant. It's a tough job that takes up a huge chunk of your life and those fuckers you spend all that time with aren't always your friends. You'll have to make it work though. You can't spend your time arguing, not if you'd like to see this hellish operation you kind of love see the end of the year. But something tells me you'll get into a screaming match or two anyway.

What is this?

This is the first, bare-bones version of Family Meal. It's a dramatic game about prepping, cooking, serving, fucking up, learning to be better (maybe) and trying again. It's based on restaurant dramas like The Bear and Boiling Point and it's built off of the Powered by the Apocalypse game Night Witches. Right now, it comes in the form of a collection of untested play materials, but it could become a full game.

Family Meal is a game for 2-5 players and 1 GM. A session takes about 2.5 hours and a season is 6 sessions long if you play through service every session (which is recommended).
