What do you do after an RPG session?

[Evilhalfling]

Hang out in the parking lot and discuss the game,
go home, watch SNL and/or talk with my spouce. I also write up campaign logs, and surf ENWORLD. As an introvert 8 hours of being 'on' requires recooperation and I am far to keyed up to sleep right away. Even when games lasted to 2 am (2003) I would still be up for at least an hour after, and in no mood to socialize with anyone but my wife. Somehow she doesnt wear me out like socalizing with others for too long does. Thus 9 years of marriage

Go home and lament having to go to work in the morning. (We play on Sunday night 5-9.)

Sorry, we're old. We game on Sundays and stop at 10:00 PM and go home.

Tuesdays, but the same deal. This "working for a living" thing kind of interferes with doing anything after a weeknight game, though it does mean I have almost all the gaming books I want .

We usualy chill afterwards, and watch Cartoon Network (our saturday game usualy ends around the time Futurama comes on). Sometimes we watch movies as well, but only if someone has something new.

Usualy there are a few rounds of M:tG afterwards as well

Weeknights we play, everyone goes hoem and goes to bed. On Saturdays we play 11-6 or so and then usually either hang-out and chat about game stuff (general or game-specific) or we all hit the Pizza Pub at the end of the street.

Most often, I come home and crash after updating my PC.
When I attend the local LARP, we always go to an all-night diner ad have breakfast in the wee hours of the morning.
For an early afternoon session like you describe, I always like having a "family-style" dinner with all the players, but then ... I lke to cook.
Fun games for a group of eight?
We've gotten a lot of mileage out of Blood Bowl and Mordheim.
We're in a house where the owner has four computers networked, and four players bring laptops, so there's always some Starcraft, Diablo, or AVP.
And there's always time for a "Stupid Movie Night"
Current faves are Shaun of the Dead, Napolean Dynamite, Escaflowne and Yu Yu Hakusho

Munchkin! Just make sure you do not play it before you play D&D.

Robo Rally.

I'm 36. Priests aren't lining up at the door to wrap me in toliet paper and carry me to the local pyramid yet, but I'm not a kid anymore. Sleep has actually crept up on the priority list. We typically play until midnight... in my book that's an unholy hour that is best served sleeping.

Dungeonmastercal, your post cracks me up because I have the same issue with my Friday night group, save my Chatty Cathies are a married couple who hang out and talk about everything. Meanwhile my lovely wife is blissfully asleep upstairs having put both the kids down while I was weaving stories for six of my friends. I've not resorted to pushing them out the door yet, but I have opened it for them. Hard to be pushy with the two of them as they are really nice folks and well meaning, but it can be annoying when you are tired, and amusing to think about later (like after a good night of sleep).

I'm going to post here again to reiterate that I'm amazed that people have time or energy left after a session. My players often play until people have to drop out due to it being dawn, or due to them falling asleep from exhaustion, or something similar.

I guess I just have hardcore players?

We play on Sundays on the NFL off season and on Saturdays during the season from 12 - 5. I usually rush home and beg my wife to let me out next week while playing with my 2 year old son that has driven her crazy for the last five hours.
