In the world of ULTIMATE MYSTICAL CHEF (or UMC), cooking isn't simply a way to turn raw ingredients into something edible (or, sometimes, just something more edible). No, in this world, cooking is POWER. Magical power, to be precise. And, therefore, those who are dedicated to the culinary arts are seen with admiration and respect, being their Cooking Competitions the mass spectacle with the highest audiences.
In this way, the protagonists of UMC will be
travelling the world (or, perhaps, managing their Local or Cuisine Academy),
from Competition to Competition, or facing all kinds of troubles and
challenges. Because there are some who try to seize the culinary magic to use
it for their own purposes. And others simply seek to destroy the world. By devouring
it, to be more precise.
The UMC manual includes...
... a summary of the
setting, including a description of the Chefs' Cuisine Schools (both Great and
Minor)
... A fairly simple game
system (or, at least, I find it quite simple!), based on throwing 1D10, adding
something, and hoping the result is high enough to get what you want
... rules of creation of
Chefs characters, both in their youngest version (the participants of the
Junior Circuit) and more veterans (the participants of the World Tour), but
also of other characters who, without being Chefs, can participate in his
adventures by offering them support
... a Grimoire (sorry... Recipe
book) with the Culinary Techniques of the different Schools, the special
skills of the companions of the Chefs, and rules for the elaboration of
Culinary Creations (what would be the 'magic items of a single use' in other
settings, y’know)
... a repertoire of
possible allies, opponents, rivals, and enemies with their complete character
sheets and backgrounds
...lots of tables to generate random character, places, events, etc., and even for playing the game solo!
