Over the weekend I ran the quickstart adventure for Wilderfeast, which quickly summarised is 'Monster Hunter X Delicious in Dungeon' and encountered the delight of the game's two main mechanics: cooking and fighting.
In the first style of cooking, the players combine Ingredients together to make a meal for their party. Different attributes allow each character to collect different ingredients, then come together to contribute to the meal itself. Watching my players name their creation after building its effects was great.
Combat for the game is aggressive. Rolls are made up to 3d6, looking for at least one 5+ to perform the desired action, followed by a roll of a d8 or a d20 to determine how effective an action is. Want to forage for food like a truffle pig, drop a d6 and upgrade that d8 to a d20 for a huge increase in results should you succeed. Monsters always use the d20 so attacks HURT. Additionally, the monster entry gives a lot of good information about how to behave as the monster, and how to target opponents. It's excellent.
Finally, once you've hunted your monster, you get to do the second style of cooking. Let me tell you, it's a lovely experience. Your players have a feast as a ritual to mourn the loss/celebrate the hunting of their quarry. As the players establish more details about how they prepare the monster, what main/side dishes they will make, how it ties to their personal history, or how they will remember the meal, they get to ask questions about the monster's statblock and then select an ability or trait of the monster to add to themselves.
All in all, it's fantastic and I can't wait until I have the proper book in my hands.

this certain dynamic abt millywood that goes beyond wolfwood simply yearning for milly—how he deems her as a mother, a lover, an enemy, a friend, a curse, a salvation—how milly becomes a symbol he can't put into a word, and it scares him and he wants to bury himself in it and beg for forgiveness all the same...
wolfwood knowing he has nothing to be forgiven of (that he's a sinful, sinful man) but THE YEARNING FOR ONE. the thought of how getting close to her feels like it'll melt away his 'impurities' (which is him entirely, he'll be GONE), but still clinging to her as both humanity and a heretic icon of worship......

[The Snake of Ithaca AU]
The sky reminded him of home, even if he doesn't remember it
For context, Crowley was originally from Ithaca but he doesn't remember it anymore.
After being cursed by Athena and losing his memories Crowley manages to flee the battlefield. Beelzebub, a paid mercenary who stayed outside of the conflict, finds Crowley while he's visibly scared and confused, and convinces him to join their group of misthios, The Legion of the Damned. Guess who else is going to be in it? :D
