And the Mt Dew!

It's funny, my friends and I were talking last weekend about how, as we have aged, our gaming food has gone from Doritos and Mt Dew to veggies with dip, more homemade stuff, better choices......but we still have to have the pretzel rods at every game.

It happens

The first time I heard him say he attacks the darkness I spit up my Pepsi. That skit was clearly written by people who have played table top RPG's. There are a bunch of us old school gamers in this group. You can see a pretty long list of us in the thread Old School gamers. I'll go bump it for you.

Thanks a lot! I am totally down with joining that group......I have never played whatever game that the skit came from (I'm not a video gamer) but my friends who are had to show it to me. That's the first thing I thought too, whoever wrote that knows what they're talking about :laugh:

I am the only female gamer in a group of guys...games are always at my house, every other Saturday. We're currently playing a GURPS fantasy game. Before I decided to get healthier, I made cookies, had chili, banana bread with chocolate chips, you name it. Last weekend the guys were like, you're what? Eating healthier? Is this a trick? Where are the cookies?

The looks of bewilderment were epic. Not that there won't be more cookies ever.....of course there will be, just fewer and farther between.

Bring on the funions, orange soda and reese's peanut butter cups!

And somehow I wonder how I put on the weight I did

Especially if its 420 while you're gaming. The calories add up fast!

It's sort of convuluted....one of those games that started off with one person running it and then someone else took over. It's high fantasy, set in a world where a thousand years ago a race of lizard men (sauron) came to our world to take over and mine octarines (high point power stones) that are abundant in an area of the world controlled by Fae. They were followed by Elves who had beef with them before, who helped defend our planet and repel the invasion.

The sauron were a high tech race from within our solar system. They used gates (like on Stargate), many of which are still active on the world today. They have been largely silent since their invasion failed. There are a few of them floating in orbit around the planet on a galaxy size cruiser that is disabled and can't get them home. We always thought it was a 3rd moon. There are also incursions happening by extra planer beings that may or may not have hooked up with the saurons and showed them how to power their Arktech with necromantic magic.

Our group are becoming hip to all of this knowledge as well as a prophecy that the world will end 2 years from current date. There is a lot going on. It's a busy, busy game. We have a few high tech weapons (Arktech), mostly it's medieval fantasy setting centering around two cities that are linked by a huge gate collinade.

Of course I have one friend who decided from the outset that he was going to be party leader, even though his character is woefully inadequate.....we just roll our eyes and do whatever we want anyway. Now we have a spell jammer ship.....things went from busy to insane!

Thankfully I've been gaming with these guys for 21 years now, otherwise I might have strangled someone over this little foray.

<-- here! We try to play every other week, although in the summer it's more like once a month.

That's why me and my friends usually plan a camping trip, where it's nothing but nonstop gaming, beer and BBQ.

Oh yeah, can't forget GenCon...30 days to go!

We used to be avid campers, and we tried a few times to game while in the woods.....it invariably rains everytime we go so after a few ruined char sheets, lost dice, poor tequila worms used as props, we gave up and left well enough alone
