[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5725629, member: 177"] There's only so much that can be done for people who are very particular in their tastes. In one group I play with there's a guy who apparently... doesn't like food. He has only a very narrow range of stuff he'll eat. And I mean, really, really narrow. So narrow that, while we usually provide dinner and home-baked desserts for game, he can't/won't partake of what we cook unless it is stuff on his limited list, and then only if it is prepared just the way he likes such things. There is no way in heck that we are going to restrict the meals for every single game to his tiny list of allowed foods. It would be grossly unfair (and boring) to the rest of us who have wider palates. Thankfully, he understands this, and simply brings his own food and drink to the games. Maybe having a split base is bad for you, because it means that you can't find folks to game with. But, by the same token, having tastes so limited that you'll only play one game is bad for you, for the exact same reason. [/QUOTE]
