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.

Food and Snacks at your RPG sessions!

Quote from: Sacrosanct;548310I think it's a cost thing too.  Looking at your spread, it looks like you've spent well over $100 just for food.

hmm.
wine bill for last session probably went $200-300, not counting food.  Just being honest.  I had a session I popped 3  bottles all over $100 a piece.  

Life changed,  My coke and oreos days are int he past.  Not saying it is any better, but not apologizing, either.

Quote from: _kent_;548339Benoist, you make an enormous number of posts, most of them long-winded and argumentative.

Are you unemployed by any chance?

not to defend anyone...
but I see the quality of posts as well as the quantity as important.  John Morrrow and I have fiught bitterly, but I doubt either of us has any negative comments about the other's intellectual ingredient to each other's work.

You, a troll, are complaining about a truly contributing member.  

go re-examine yourself.

I didn't mean it being judgmental, just that a lot of gamers out there can't drop $100-$500 on food for a gaming session.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Christ, this thread moved faster than a greased up wizard going down a trap chute (and ended up just as dazed and confused at the bottom of it).

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;547988We have subs here (basically hoagies) and they are great for games.  We also have tons of roast beef places, which are equally good for games.

Roast beef places?  I'm jealous.  We have...uh...Arby's...so not exactly quality stuff.

QuoteSometimes, if it is an early game (a 12-6 game say) we would go out to eat after. That is kind of fun because you can focus a little more on the food and conversation.

True, it's nice to just be able to chill with food and conversation without worrying about keeping the game stuff moving along.

Something one of my gaming groups has considered is doing a marathon D&D session, since Jersey has a lot of 24-hour diners (cheap coffee refills would definitely help keep us going).
"In a way, the Lands of Dream are far more brutal than the worlds of most mainstream games. All of the games set there have a bittersweetness that I find much harder to take than the ridiculous adolescent posturing of so-called \'grittily realistic\' games. So maybe one reason I like them as a setting is because they are far more like the real world: colourful, crazy, full of strange creatures and people, eternal and yet changing, deeply beautiful and sometimes profoundly bitter."

That's where I'm at honestly so a chip in for Pizza or KFC or even Smokehouse or Gates works for us. 5 bucks each, then extra is on you. If that can't be done bring 1-2, 2 liters of soda, Mountain Dew and Sierra Mist works best. Or a bag or two of generic 1.49 bag of chips, dip will be covered trust me Lipton dry soup mix or retried beans with a bit from the refrigerator ...I always have chopped jalapenos on hand and just about any other pepper also.:)

North Shore mass is the land of roast beef. Just about every corner has a place. We are probably most famous for Kelly's though.

if you'd like it to be.  Maybe you'd be confusing me for a dumb person.  Or Benoist, for that matter.  
IN the mean time, if you were not a troll, you'd have made the judgement based on multiple threads.  Cheerio.  Hope no one burns any bridges tonight, since it might be your roof.

Quote from: Benoist;548185"Ad hominem" is another one of those memes bandied around. It's not discourse.
Mmm no, mate, actually it isn't. It is a well known fallacy that impedes discourse.

QuoteWhat we've got here is basically two ways to understand the concept of gaming: in one case, the people and the socialization aspect of gaming come first, and the details of the game (setting and system) are secondary to that. In the other case, people and the social aspects of gaming are secondary to the setting and system the game uses. The game's itself the thing. The people are proxies, tools to get a "game fix".

I'm sorry, but I'm not backing down at all from this: if the game comes first, and the people second, you got a problem. You need help.
Well, I wouldn't enjoy gaming like this, but I don't think that people who enjoy this have a problem. It seems a very simplistic description.

For example, if you play in a gaming club maybe you go there only to game, but you do the rest of your social activities with your friends elsewhere. Again, it's not how I roll, but I don't see any problem with it.

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;548236Who would have thought a simple post about the joys of snacking would evolve into a two-forum flame war.

Quote from: Insufficient Metal;548284Crisis of snackery.

RPG nerds will fight tooth and nail about literally anything.

And there you have your answer :D

Also, _kent_, the unemployment shit is really really weak. Not only because the obvious (if it's true it's quite evident why it's a shitheaded thing to say) but also because it is irrelevant. The lenght of the posts does not say anything about their quallity, and I don't think that anyone's contributions are going to improve or get worse because of your employment situation.

So basically, is a worthless piece of shit of a post.

Just snacks.

I've tried raising the gastronomic level of our sessions, to no avail. One won't even chip in for pizza, the asshole. "Nah, you guys go ahead and order, I'm not hungry. Don't mind me." :mad:

Tuna sandwiches or pizza is the most sophisticated we get. We mostly stick to chips (crisps for those in the UK), nachos, popcorn, cookies and industrial amounts of soda (Coke, Sprite and our very own Guaraná).

Quote from: Exploderwizard;548121Not quite. Sushi can be any raw fish, not just ones that happen to be fucking.

Let me correct your correction. Sushi is a cuisine with picked rice, which more often than not you get with raw fish.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushi

Scroll down to inari sushi (which is quite tasty), which is a fish-less example.

Sashimi is the straight up raw stuff:
