(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?




...sugar and spice And Everything Naughtie.

Well when we have a pot luck we just announce that we are having a pot luck,
even the single guys in our group no better then to show up with a grocery
bag, unless it has sodas in it as they know that is always welcome. we like
to cook in our group I guess even bore I got married I would cook for the
group as opposed to buying some ting, and one of or divorced players has the
best spinach dip I have ever tasted, I remember the first time he showed up
he brought the dip in a hollowed out bead it was fantastic.
I mean I suppose you could say potluck cooked food only, or you could hint
around that you want to plan a pot luck and have home cooked and not store
bought.

our gaming expense are low I guess because we play every Saturday, used to
play more but now that we just play once a week and I use my Sam club member
ship to buy bulk it is pretty reasonable

Gygax is to Gaming what Kirby was to comics.
Alas poor Elric I was a thousand times more evil then you.

Aren't all beads hollowed out? He must have either he brought a VERY big
bead or very little dip!
