The Brazier - a playbook for Wanderhome
A downloadable playbook
The Brazier is a playbook for the fantastic Wanderhome tabletop role-playing game. Wanderhome is a story about travel. The roads of the Haeth guide those who walk or ride from place to place to place. Your role is being hospitality on the fly, at the roadside, at the street corner.
Your cries light streets and road sides, advertising the inexpensive food, affordable libation, and easy shelter that you bring with you. Your brightly coloured brazier hand-cart with its polished samovar leaves no doubt about what you offer. You are alive. Your care is adequate, accessible, and convenient.
You can read about street vendors and street cries in "Old London Street Cries," 1887.

Updated 12 October 2021: Cannot believe that we didn't include pasties and hand-pies, which have been around not just in Europe but beyond, as "street food" since at least the 1300s. Well, we have fixed that, now.
First documented in the 13th Century, under the reign of Henry III, bakers in Norwich were accused of reheating three day old pasties and selling them on to make a profit. In 1350, a ban was put in place in London to prevent shops selling their rabbit pasties for more than a penny. Jean Froissart, wrote, sometime in the late 14th or early 15th century, of people "with botelles of wyne trusses at their sadelles, and pastyes of samonde, troutes, and eyls, wrapped in towels".
