Food and drink

[Ragitsu]

Assuming you're okay with a little mess, or can keep your hands clean, what is your ideal food and drink for a pencil and paper roleplaying game session? Does it depend on the genre/system/mood/etc, or do your choices stay the same no matter what? Does everyone pitch in, or is one person expected to bring enough for all?

Mountain Dew in vast quanities.

Food is optional, and generally limited to chips, popcorn, and the like.

In one of the groups I'm in, the custom is that each brings their own; there's one member who has food control issues. In the other two, the rule is "enough for yourself and a hobbit." We've moved toward moderately healthier snacks than we used to favor; we get some vegetables, cheese, hummus, fruit, and the like along with the usual chips and cookies. For drink, we've long since settled on "bring your own," as we all have very specific tastes in beverages.

The functional rule with the people I play with is that the host (that is, the person who lives at the physical location) provides most of the food, but others are certainly welcome to bring stuff. Exactly what shows up on the table varies considerably, from delivery pizza to, at my house, stuff like this (yes, those Twinkies are hand-made).

For my main group, we usually have dinner during the game.

MonkeyFist and I are usually the last ones there because we call Gummi and ask: "What's for dinner and what do we need to bring?" We'll get a list and stop at the grocery store on the way in. I usually get a case of Guinness for Gummi as well. MonkeyFist and I usually bring a couple of cases of soda (I'll drink one or two, but I'm a water person).

If the weather is nice, though it voids my manufacturer's warranty, we'll game outside while they grill. It's not uncommon for all of us to be gaming in the kitchen while they cook.

We will, on occasion, order Chineese or Pizza, but usually, we're having something else. We had hamburgers and brauts last Sunday. The Sunday before that we had grilled chicken breasts and garlic mashed potatos. I don't know what we're having this Sunday.

A few months ago, I wanted fajitas. Gummi's wife went out and bought the meat (since she'd need to marinate it for a couple of days, or something), and I bought the rest of the supplies.

I want to game with you. <wipes drool>

My group seems to think "Rob'll bring something, so we don't need to." I've taken to bringing things that only I like, but nobody else has caught the hint yet...

So, you looking for another player in your group? ;)
