Sneaky Snack

3-5 Players

You are a pet. You’re well-fed, but your human’s food smells so good…

Pet stats: Sneak, Speed, Sweet, Strength. Assign each a different number from 0 to 3, then add racial bonuses:

Cats: +1 Speed

Rats: +1 Sneak

Small dogs: +1 Sweet

Large dogs: +1 Sweet, +1 Strength, but cannot Approach or Take

Human stats: Awareness, Aim, Aloof. Assign each a different number from 1 to 3.

Rolls are 1d6 plus the stat. Highest roll wins. Each action takes one turn, except Dodge. The player whose turn is next rolls for the human. The game ends after 5 turns each, or after 10 Morsels have been taken.

Actions:

Approach: Sneak vs. Awareness. Failure: roll Dodge.

Take: Must succeed an Approach first. Speed vs. Awareness. Success: +3 Morsels. Failure: roll Dodge.

Dodge: Speed vs. Aim. Failure: The spray bottle!; subtract 2 from your next roll.

Beg: Sweet vs. Aloof. Success: +1 Morsel.

Steal: If another pet gained Morsels on their last turn, roll your Strength vs. their Strength. The Stealer loses ties. Success: take those Morsels.

Catch: If the human fails an Awareness roll before your next turn, +1 Morsel.

Whoever ends with the most Morsels wins.

I give permission to have this archived off-site.

I wasn't planning to participate, but I was inspired by the thieving beasts that live in my house. So I wrote this in about 2 hours on the last day to submit. Thus, there was no playtesting; I do not know if this is balanced or fun to play.

If I'd had more words I would have written a few different scenarios: the human preparing a meal, eating alone, a family dinner, a holiday dinner.

200 Word RPGs 2024

Each November, some people try to write a novel. Others would prefer to do as little writing as possible. For those who wish to challenge their ability to not write, we offer this alternative: producing a complete, playable roleplaying game in two hundred words or fewer.

This is the submission thread for the 2024 event, running from November 1st, 2024 through November 30th, 2024. Submission guidelines can be found in this blog's pinned post, here.

They’re gonna steal all the snacks and cakes in the kitchen. Or rather, Fox plans to and Quinlan plans to follow Fox, so Fox might as well utilize the fool.

Some fun ‘Of Honor and Force’ things to keep ourselves balanced :3

Enjoy~

sneaky snacks

upon joining legacy, sori hadn’t thought to make friends, at least not before debut. friends were distracting, and she was afraid of becoming too close with someone, hurt if they wouldn’t debut together. all this team unknown and then lgc girls japan had changed her though. sori saw all of the fellow members as friends, she was glad just having them around, even if the five didn’t debut together, she’d gotten friendships she was thankful for. it was well.. truthfully nice to have friends in the company.

and had taeha not been her friend nor had they been stuck together for so long, she would’ve turned down the offer immediately, say she needed to study, but now she was out with taeha, a camera in her hand as she’s on the way to buy snacks. she lifts the camera to film them both, a smile upon her lips “taeha, since you’re the oldest one of us two, will you be paying for the snacks?” she sends a playful smile to the other.

GO! @lgctaeha

Video evidence of my coworker cracking open the chocolate shortbreads that were bought yesterday for Monday snacks. Because I'm off tomorrow and I know he's going to blame me (/lh).

Eros is sitting at the bar, just quietly watching whatever Welt is doing. Less focused on the work and more on his partner's body. Looking away quickly when Welt stands up, as if he wasn't in the first place. "Did y'meet th'cute li'l shark that came in m'clinic? I think he's adorable."

"Shark?"

It's enough to make him look up from the slew of games he had been, admittedly, playing through instead of going through the logs like he had promised. In all fairness, he was really good at doing both and Welt was sure a certain old student of his would be very proud.

"I wasn't aware that sharks were even in the Belobog ecosystem. The city's too far from any visible coastline that we could see from space." There's a short pause as he clicked out of the screen. "Are, and please don't take this the wrong way, are you sure you've gotten enough rest? I know you've been working hard lately..."

I am in the extremely privileged position of currently living with a friend who takes care of me. I get dinner every night (she is a Kitchen Witch, so I help with groceries and cleanup and doing the initial dishwasher stack plus many cups of tea) and there are the foods I like for breakfast (I am neurospicy, so it is Always and Forever yoghurt, honey and home-made muesli, maybe with an orange or banana after for some razzle-dazzle if the fruit box gods are smiling).

Also she knows I have a habit of sneaking out in the middle of the night to get sneaky snacks....so she has the snacks there for me **and expects I will eat them**. Then she orders more. This is not discussed, the snackage is enabled and if I feel like 'sneaking' out then I do. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

And thus she has effectively done something reading a million books and articles and discussions and hand-wringing and snarky comments and watching videos has signally failed to do: taken the sting out of snacking AND OF EATING WHAT I WANT. I just eat what I like; and without all the d r a m a, I am just eating food, like a human does.

Outcome: more time to just be a human doing human things. I have dropped 11kg (didn't notice till I started stepping on my pants hems). A skin condition on my lower legs has been slowly improving. Because I am enabled to just eat food, as required by my biology.

Again, I know I am privileged. But here is my experience, in case it can help or encourage anyone else.

we really can’t overstate how damaging it has been to indoctrinate the public with the idea that if they let themselves eat as much as they want, they’ll eat too much. human bodies, when permitted over the long term to eat as much as they want, actually get really, really good at calibrating their hunger and satiety, and will over time eat exactly the right amount for themselves. the common conception of a balanced eater as a minimal or restrained eater is absolutely wrong. balanced eaters eat quite a lot (compared to diet cultural ideas about right intake amounts), and they do so consistently and permanently. healthy, balanced eating isn’t some tightrope walk, it’s a gigantic net of total permission to eat.
