I was curious to see what everyone likes to drink or snack on while playing D&D. I grew up on Mountain Dew and Doritos during sessions, usually with pizza if we playing through dinner (which we almost always did).

Saw a post a long time ago about someone using gummy worms and bears etc as their minis, and players get to eat the ones they kill.

Food for thought. Literally.

My main crew typically goes with vodka and sushi on our biweekly session.

When we have a younger/new player we go with seltzer and mixed veg/fruit/nuts.

Vodka‽ If you can find shochu (not soju), please try it once instead of vodka. It pairs nicely with sushi too.

[–] Cloaca@mtgzone.com 2 points 1 year ago

It definitely pairs better than vodka, but vodka is a staple in the liquor setups regardless of where we have a session.

Soda or another liquid that is bad for me. For food, I was generally in charge of food so if I made food, it was themed! I have the Song of Ice and Fire cookbook, and when we played that system I made food from there.

Our table always drinks coffee during a session regardless of time of day. As for snacks, whatever looks appealing from the local dollar store.

Twix dipped in Fritos chile cheese dip.

For posterity, which class do you play?

[–] Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Whatever the class, this person is a goblin. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Cheese balls. Giant tubs of cheese balls.

One of the perks of being older is we smoke or bbq to have a meal prior to the session. We've had brisket, chili, smash burgers, tri tip, brats, etc.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh very nice!

[–] Good_morning@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago

Often snacks like chips n dip, dinner varies, pizza or some of us will cook a stew or something. Most often we have beer or seltzer water. But we're all in our 30s.

Sweet, Salty, Savory. It's a winning combo. I'd keep drinks as a BYOD situation, aside from maybe having one or two 2 liters of soda or something.

[–] dumples@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Roleplaying whiskey. Its just a bottle of whiskey that we all drink when we play

Chex mix is a classic!

I don't like trash food and I don't drink energy drinks (only water), but I enjoy taking a food break during sessions, mostly because it allows me to stand up, stretch a bit and go take whatever I may want to eat that day, which improves my attention span in the second half of the session.

Sometimes it's some fruits, others it's a pack of potato chips or just a cup of coffee. During winter I'll most certainly toast some bread with cheese and salumi, to keep myself warm!

I'm Italian, so it's not difficult for me to buy brands that use high quality ingredients and are still fairly cheap to buy. And if the session stretches through dinner, it's pizza time for everyone! Although it's been a while since I last played a session in person, because my party is scattered all over the country, forcing us to meet online.

The game I run is virtual and only 2hr so just water, sometimes alcohol.

The game I play in provides dinner ahead of time and I often make a dessert for the table.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Online VTT player: I usually don't eat when playing, almost always have a beer/wine/G&T.

[–] Takapapatapaka@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

We mostly drink beer or shandy, and we use caps as minis, you can have multiple colors for teams and write letters/numbers inside to identify them But it requires to drink before any fight happens, so we always keep some stored from previous session, just in case For the food, thins that can easily be shared so pizzas like you mention, crepes, or raclette in winter

@TheGiantKorean I create infusions of fruits and plants in various alcohols, which we use as potions in small flasks, distributed with absolute parsimony for a lot of gold pieces.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Love this.

It would be funny if you had to drink one every time your character drank a potion.
