D&D and snacking, a subliminal message?

[orchid blossom]

We pretty much just keep soda at the table, sometimes with a plate of cheese and some crackers. If we happen to have a bag of carrots, they disappear in minutes.

Some nights I cook a dinner, since people are usually hungry after a couple hours. Last night it was meatball subs. As long as it can sit in the crock pot and keep hot, we'll just leave the food there for people to eat whenever they're hungry.

I eat nothing, unless lunch or dinner time rolls past during the game in which case we break to eat. I drink nothing but water during the game.

As our gaming sessions most often last somewhere between 12 and 24 hours (we've all got busy schedules and don't get to play very often, but then when we do get an opening we make the most of it!), everyone always brings plenty of snacks. Generally, each player bring so much snacks it should be enough for all of us, so there's always a huge pile of snacks left in the end.

In addition to snakcs, we break for one decent meal during the session; mostly home-made, but sometimes we send out for pizza. And there's always plenty of coffee, soda, beer and liqueor. Come to think of it, our gaming weekends are orgies!

Since I usually play at home--and usually with friends or family, we normally eat right before the game (and sometimes leftovers afterwards). The meal is normally something with the words "Hamburger Helper" in it

Our throats tend to get dry with all the talking during play, so we normally sip on iced Tea or water. Nothing really fancy here.

Ugh...my group at home is so bad...usually order Italian, frequently getting "Pizzas of Death" that have like 20 toppings...then massive varieties of munchies...I am completely immune to caffiene at this point, drank 3 liters of Dr. Pepper in half an hour, didn't feel a thing...We generally will take out several bottles of soda in a night, then kill whatever other liquids are in the fridge, and then have to refill the water purifier thingy like 5 times...its insane. Up here at school we're a bit better, usually hitting the small take out place on campus or grabbing some light snacks, but we don't spend 20 bucks on a single large pizza...so its a bit healthier, and easier on the wallets.

My group is married couples and our teenaged kids (and the oldest teen's fiancee). Dinner is eaten during the game, usually cooked by my wife.
