when you carry the Enchanted Picnic Basket (Weight 1) all day, you gain the following move:

When you make camp, open the basket and roll WIS+

On a 10+, The basket contains one ration for you and each party member with whom you share a bond. On a 7-9 choose one:

The basket contains only one ration

The basket contains the full amount of rations, but one is a little off (to eat it is to Defy Danger)

The basket contains the full amount of rations, and enough alcohol to get each party member drunk.  

On a 6 or less, the rations are not fit for humans to eat. Tell the GM why.

All rations (and alcohol) created by the basket must be consumed (by someone) before it can be used again.

  1. The third option limits the use of the basket. Either the party drinks to excess, which affects the fiction of the watch and the hangover affects the fiction of the next morning, or they drink in moderation over several nights, and the picnic basket can’t be used until they finish.

    Perhaps I should say “enough alcohol to make each party member dangerously drunk”.

  2. When you make camp and eat from the Enchanted Picnic Basket, roll + WIS:

    On a 10+, choose 3; on a 7-9, choose 2.  On a miss, choose 1 and ask the GM what else happens.

    * There is plenty of food for all at camp!

    * There is plenty of booze to sate your thirst!

    * The delicious aroma does not attract unwanted attention!

    * The rations are fresh and nutritious and won’t cause anyone any problems at all!

    This is written to give you a full success on a 10+, but with the choice between booze OR a complication.  Not sure if i like that… 

  3. When you make camp, open the basket and roll WIS+

    On a 10+, The basket contains one ration for you and each party member with whom you share a bond and a potion of healing. On a 7-9 just the rations.On a 6 or less, GIANT ANT ATTACK!

  4. Thank you all. Here is my revised version:

    Enchanted Picnic Basket

    “Never plan a picnic’ Father said. ‘Plan a dinner, yes, or a house, or a budget, or an appointment with the dentist, but never, never plan a picnic.”

    ― Elizabeth Enright, The Four-Story Mistake

    Whenever you make camp, open the basket and roll WIS+

    On a 10+, Choose three.. On a 7-9 choose two:

    The basket contains a ration to feed the bearer.

    The basket contains additional rations to feed anyone present who shares a bond with the bearer

    The contents of the basket do not draw unwanted attention (ants, bears, big bad wolves, etc.  Ask the GM what.)

    The basket contains an inexpensive, common gift for someone you have not yet met.  Tell the GM what it is.

    On a 6 or less, the rations are not fit for you or your party to eat. Tell the GM why.

    All  rations created by the basket must be consumed (by someone or something) and gifts given, before it can be used again.
