This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Favorite game night snacks...

I know. It sounds strange. But give it a try. If you have any liking for food dishes that combine something crunchy/salty with something sweet, you will be surprised how good it is.

I do recommend milk to wash it down though. :)

Two of the players usually bring several boxes of candy, and one is a candy junky.  The rest of us usually have light popcorn.  I usually have a Coke, and then refill with water during the rest of the game.  Sometimes, I will have a beer or two.  Occasionally, the GM will join me for a beer.

The halcyon days of Whiskey Role-Playing are few and far between these days for me.

Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

Quote from: IMLegend;402155We stick mainly with the old school pizza and pop (or soda for you non-midwesterners). One all-meat for the carnivores and one with at least some form of vegetation on it. In general we live down to our fatbeard roots on game nights.

The GM and I usually start with a couple tokes off the bowl around 5:30. Pizza usually arrives around 6:00 and we eat and shoot the shit until 7:00. Then we get down to business. Usually take a break around 8:30 or 9:00 as the GM is required to read a bedtime story to the rugrat. We wrap up around 10:00 or shortly thereafter. A couple more tokes, a healthy dose of bullshitting, and it's time to head home. Simple pleasures for simple folk.

We don't really eat during play other than a couple pretzels or chips. We don't drink much as a group either. One player is diabetic, and another is just plain straightlaced (nothing wrong with that). The GM and I are the only ones that may have a beer here or there, but that's about it.

Nice.I used to do a bit o'reef'n before game but now I like to do that while designing scenarios and staying straight for game night. Tend to go off on tangents when smok'n.
Simple pleasures indeed. :)

Quote from: skofflox;402096I suggest vegan,gluten free pizza with lots of veggies as a healthy alternative to the junky variety.Good tasting and fun to eat!

I only eat pizza for the meat.  ;)  It's the white flour that gives me trouble...

QuoteFruit makes an awesome replacement for sweets and is loaded with vitamins and water!

Yeah, we had some veggies and dip and some fruit a few times--it was more popular than expected...

QuoteBummer about the foriegn foods...:)

Yeah.  *sigh*  The closest thing I get them to vindaloo chicken is hot-wings from Wal-Mart.  *sigh*

Quote from: IMLegend;402155...pop (or soda for you non-midwesterners).

Wait.  I've lived my whole life in the Midwest and everyone I know calls it "soda".  

I think it's more "big city" versus "po-dunk-redneck".  ;)

And I still don't get the whole "pop" thing.  If it's the sound that it makes when you open it, shouldn't it be called "woosh"?

:D

Really? I never considered myself "high-fallutin". Hell, I didn't think Lansing Michigan could ever be called a "big city" either. I'll be damned. Actually, I always considered "pop" to be the redneckier (I done made me a word :)) term compared to "soda". Maybe it's even more regional than I thought. :hmm:

I always thought "pop" referred to the bubbles rising to the surface and "popping". :idunno:

Around here (southwestern Ohio, southeastern Indiana, piece of Kentucky) everyone says Soda Pop or just ' Pop'. Sometimes they ask for a "Cokle" - but they are referring to whatever brown cardonated soda pop is available.
The Really picky ones might say : "Damn this is Pepsi I wasn't expecting that. "

Of course, all the colors of Mountain Dew is still the most popular beverage for most gamers that I've seen. I prefer the read and orange versions myself.

I took a trip to Arkansas once (once and never again, no offence to the people, but y'all have too many bugs the size of household pets). Anyway, they seemed to use "Coke" as a general term for all soft drinks. As in "I'll take a Coke".

"What flavor?"

"Grape."

Maybe I just misinterpreted the conversation I overheard, but it seemed odd to me.
