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.

Not a big sushi fan, but I do like Kimbap, and I know how to roll it.  I also like dolmas, but no one in my gaming group appreciates the more exotic foodstuffs, so most of that gets left out.  Much to my dismay
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.

We should get them together with my wife (see pics in the OP, those are hers). She makes them mean. We'll have to wash them down with some good wine. Any suggestions with sushi? I'd think a dry white would do it? Or maybe a Bourgogne. Meursault? Or maybe something floral. Gewürtzraminer late harvest. Goes great with Vietnamese.

That was a pic for the lulz because I told them "I'm going to take a shot for the blog" and they all went "oh right let's pretend we all fell asleep after the meal!" It was damn good I tell you. We were full. :D

I suggest a Sauvignon Blanc, especially a New Zealand one. But yes, any drier whites are good. Gewurztraminer? No thanks.
Of course, sake is best.

I'd agree. Dry white it'd be.

We're a classic junk food group. Chips, Cheetos, and all the Mt. Dew Code Red you can bear.

To be honest, I'd love to cook a meal, but my group's taste varies a little too widely to be able to agree on a single dish. On the other hand, the endless stream of cookies, bars, and other baked goods that my wife makes are always appreciated by the crowd.

We alternate depending on the host's schedule and general energy level.  We've done crock-pot stuff a few times (home-made chili and that sort of stuff) because it's easy, but when we're feeling lazy we'll go for pizza/chinese.  Being in the Philadelphia area means there are a lot of good hoagie places, so sometimes we'll go for a tray of sandwiches since they're lighter on the stomach.

For drinks we usually do a mix of beers and soda, but halfway through we'll do tea and coffee to keep people going (our games are usually run late on the weekends).

There are usually cheetos, chips, and jerky on the side for those who want it, as well.
"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."

.

We 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.

Sometimes, 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.

God damn I love kimbap.

As I recall though it's tough to get the proper pickle back home.

Sushi is just raw fucking fish, you assholes!
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

Not quite. Sushi can be any raw fish, not just ones that happen to be fucking.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

I miss Kyle being here too.

It's just weird the way on that other thread people came out saying "Snacks? How can snacks be more important than setting and rules?" Then you basically explain "well snacks are part of the socializing, and at its core, the point of playing an RPG is to haven fun together so yeah, snacks are more important" but ... that seems to fall on deaf ears. It's really something I can't fathom personally.

When the game becomes more important than the people playing and just enjoying the presence of each other, you know something's gone wrong with your gaming, IMO.

Gaming is a 'pro-social' hobby.
It should be enmeshed and woven into your other social behaviors.
