Why the Delicious in Dungeon Creator Has Yet to Give D&D a Go

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the revelation about Ryoko Kui, the creator of Delicious in Dungeon, never having played Dungeons & Dragons left me utterly flabbergasted! It’s like discovering that Santa Claus doesn’t eat cookies or that Elon Musk doesn’t know how to code.


In 2014, the series “Delicious in Dungeon” entered our world, and its creator Ryoko Kui didn’t anticipate its widespread success. This fantasy comedy combines the thrill of dungeon exploration with the joy of cooking as we join a group of adventurers on their quest. Notably, the show’s magical elements resonate strongly with tabletop RPG enthusiasts, as “Delicious in Dungeon” could seamlessly fit into games like “Dungeons & Dragons.” However, a recent interview revealed that Kui has yet to try her hand at the classic tabletop game.

The interview took place during Kui’s recent trip to Los Angeles, where they conversed with ANN. In this city, the creator of the popular series “Delicious in Dungeon” was queried about its appeal among tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) enthusiasts. Interestingly, Kui confessed that they have never participated in a campaign for the series.

Kui admitted that he had no prior experience with “Dungeons and Dragons” and only learned about Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TTRPGs) as an adult. Despite this, he has read extensively about it, including the Players’ Guide and related novels, so he has a good understanding of it, but he hasn’t actually played TTRPG himself.

Nevertheless, it turns out that the artist is acquainted with Dungeons & Dragons in some manner. Just like countless others, Kui became smitten with Baldur’s Gate 3 last year. The critically acclaimed game drew Kui in strongly, and the artist has grown fond of the rogue class.

Kui shared that when he was playing Baldur’s Gate 3, he created a human rogue character. If the artist decides to venture into tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), they might design their own rogue character instead.

As someone who isn’t deeply engrossed in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, it’s hard to ignore the strong connection the game’s fanbase has forged with Delicious in Dungeon. This manga actually predates the recent surge of Dungeons & Dragons popularity, thanks to initiatives such as Critical Role and Stranger Things.

Curious about the intricacies of Delicious in Dungeon? Dive into the details below, given by the game’s official description itself:

When young explorer Laios and his group encounter a fierce dragon deep within a cave, they are brutally beaten, losing all their funds and supplies along with one of their companions. Determined to rescue her, they face an obstacle: With no resources for food or money, they risk starvation on the journey! However, Laios proposes an audacious solution: “Why don’t we dine on the monsters?” Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons will be fair game for these daring dungeon-dwellers turned gastronomes!
