Empedocles' Feast Framework

Link to Google Doc version to this draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dNOAFp1uXey31at2_Br0OKOQd3UmUA3jdXEEA6GM5z8/edit?usp=sharing This was prompted as part of the March 2024 Blog Carnival, with a topic of " Feasts, Foods, & Fancy Drink, oh my! " Edit: Here's the month end round up of this prompt . Tables to generate feasts in my Tressagros setting, which is vaguely reminiscent of the Mediterranean coast in the late Roman Empire.  Gods honored are noted in parentheses. The tables are broken into four sections:  who and what the feast is for, what happens, intentionally or not, what’s served (meager hosts might not have all courses, wealthier hosts provide more options), and what does one’s behavior earn them. The Event Who Throws the Feast?  1d6L (1d6L: roll two dice, usee the lower) A freehold farmer who has benefited from the PC’s actions. A merchant the PCs frequently supply or purchase from. A local priest or lay religious officer A local mayor or council
