Gaming Snacks - [blog100] pt. 4, q. 73

This post is part of a series where I put forth a challenge for bloggers to answer all 100 questions on this table by d4 Caltrops. This week I rolled a 73.

73. What are the best Snacks you've found that work during a Game?

This question is a bit fluffy, but hey, let's roll with it.

It largely depends on the timeslot. I have two regular groups I play with. The 5e table I play in is frequent, short sessions, with players who mostly don't have kids. The DCC table I run is infrequent, longer sessions, with players who mostly do have kids. These factors are relevant to meal times, so that complicates the snack situation a bit.

The shorter sessions are covered by whichever random snacks someone happens to bring on the day. This system works fine.

The less frequent games on the other hand almost need to be organized around meals, and usually include a break for a meal somewhere in the middle. I say "break" - we don't entirely stop playing to eat, but have you ever tried to run a game while eating a bowl of curry? I consider it lucky that we've only ruined one single character sheet by staining it with korma. So there's a snack that certainly doesn't work. Pick something less saucy.

Here is where I'll link your blog if you join me on this 100-post journey through 100 questions.

This week, Scrolls from the Toaster talks about where undead come from, which is far more interesting than what I eat.
