Had a really weird game the other day, was fine until a friend of the DM, fighter named Mars, decided he wanted to eat the kobolds we killed.
He brought up that apparently in canon Kobolds are delicious chicken of the cave. This guy has been playing since 2nd ed- Is this true? Are kobolds canonically delicious and eaten by adventurers, or is this magical realm territory? He seemed pretty adamant that he was right, DM didn't seem too sure though.

Chickens are not sentient. Bolds are. That said, it could easily be a taste of his character specifically, if not the setting in general.
>Put down the ladle Cedric, my momma made better stewed 'bold than that
>>54040366
Do you eat goblins and gnolls?
>>54040400
But that's my point; he was saying that Kobolds are canonic in DnD as being regularly eaten by adventurers. I wanted to know if that's true, as my google-fu hasn't found anything supporting that. He also kept using the "Chicken of the Cave" line. Like. A lot.

2e is my favorite edition and I've never heard of this. Your friend is bullshitting you.
>>54040441
Not my friend. Dm's friend. I was invited to the game. Seemed fine until the fighter suddenly announced he'd like to eat what I and my druid character consider sentient beings.
>>54040405
No, but my Druid is a vegetarian. Can't speak for the rest of the party.
>>54040466
>Not my friend. Dm's friend. I was invited to the game
Semantics. Point is, it's bullshit.
>>54040478
Alright. Well. Guess I gotta bring this up with the DM. I don't care if people want to RP badwrong characters, I kinda care if they're making shit up so they can justify eating people as in-canon.
>>54040366
They're refuse eaters and cave dwellers, their meat is gonna be sinewy and poor tasting, they would be the crow or even worse, the vulture of the cave.
>>54040523
Vulture is the chicken of the desert.
>>54040523
Well that's what I thought too, especially as the DM described them as desperate enough to be boiling shoe leather for food. I'm hoping I've not joined a game with people that have really specific fetishes and like to RP with them.
>>54040502
Just play it cool he was probably just joking
>>54040366
I have played characters that eat Kobolds before, seems yummy.
I was a bear though.

That kind of vore isn't common at all. I doubt he gets off to it
Did someone say kobold?
