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: Daedalus;548215No, we were arguing that saying that one person saying their way of gaming is right and if you don't game that way it is wrong.
Well, in this particular case, Benoist is right and everyone who disagrees with him is objectively, literally WRONG.

There. That's settled. Now let's talk about something actually controversial.

Quote from: Daedalus;548228I completely disagree.  I have gamed where we have eaten together and gamed where people ate prior to the game, and I saw no difference in the experience, it wasn't less social or a lower quality session.

So..you are saying that sharing food, especially food that one prepares and puts time into, or sharing something that is actually collected does not enhance the social situation.  That the history of meals and sharing meal time and the way that figues into hospitality does not affect the social experience?

Lol. No. I thought food would be the one thing folks could agree on.

Apparently not. And people can disagree so much on this topic, as a matter of fact, that they can ragequit a forum over it. Now that's disagreement or I don't know what is.

Quote from: Daedalus;548218For me food is just about nourishing me.  I eat it then forget about it 5 minutes later.  As long get nourishment from it that's all I care about.

I'm certain your architects are contented to know of your machine-like efficiency (ripped from their Facebook page):



Those of us within the human portion of the population prefer our lifestyles seasoned with a bit of un-examined enjoyment.

I'm sure the blandness of your pill form meal substitutes is quite satisfying

We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, others the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he\'s different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot" -Archy (RocknRolla)

Someone ragequit?

I guess some of the debates over food have gotten heated at my own table (round here people can never agree on whether to order italian or greek style pizza). So maybe I shouldn't be surprised people are digging their heels on this subject.

Yeah RPG Informer ragequit and started ranting on his blog.

I just dropped the thread. I guess sometimes I forget the RPG Haven is not the RPG Site.

People bring their own snacky things and we largely order pizza in or go to the kebab shop at 'half-time'

Simples.

We eat, we game, sometimes at the same time. Then we don't eat and we don't game.

Oh. Kebab. Like Doner Kebabs, the half moon sandwich?

I haven't had one of those in AGES. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

As far as gaming in concerned, no it doesn't.  Hasn't for me.  I know The RPG Informer said it doesn't for him.

It's just there to eat, but really doesn't matter.  I don't focus on food, I eat it for what I get from it and it is no more important then that

And you are a troll and no intellectual conversation will be had.  Thank you I can add you to my ignore list and talk to people who can actually have adult conversations.
