(Food) cost of gaming

>1)  If we don't insist they bring something, it costs us a load, week after 
>week, to feed a crew.

average cost of gaming these days
figure 10 sessions average
$25 book
$8 weekly share of pizza/soda: $80
$10 for gas
$20 for two.five months net connection for scheduling purposes,
background, and all sorts of other game-related uses
housecleaning at $15/hour, one half-hour pre- and post-session: $150

just that alone makes it $28 and a little a session.  Cheaper to take a 
couple of friends to a movie.....

your expenses may vary

we found out pizza was only cost-effective if you counted in the time to 
make things. i can slow cook ribs (messy on the character sheets) or
crock pot chili or stew or keep the players not actively rolling dice 
chopping fruit and veggies....


>Now, we do a pot-luck-and nothing can be pre-packaged

how do you ask this of your players?
