Remember the good old days where people built message boards devoted to a devotees of a certain finite subject and people posted topics of interest; of general relevance to that subject?
*sigh* oh what a golden age that was.
For example lets say this was a message board devoted to fine Cajun cooking, people might exchange recipes for spicy Southern fare such as Jambalya, red beans and rice and gumbo, not just posting here, telling us meaningless personal information such as the fact that they just ate at Popeye's chicken and took a big dump that burned their rectum as they deficated it out; "burning and squirting, always burning" describing the process in meticulous detail that is neither warranted or wanted.
Now to keep things on topic lest I strike out of hypocrisy. And this topic is food. From warhammer quest to Heroscape I never serve greasy snacks with my board games. The oils collect on people's fingers and stain the game elements. Heroscape is better than most because the board is plastic, but potato chips, popcorn and even pizzas are all verboten at my gaming table because they leave dark little greasy fly shit specks on everything. And I aint pointing at anyone here, but it has been my experience that MANY adults who play role table top games past the age of twenty five are fat greasy slobby bastards who have questionable hygiene social skills and bad diets. I think its the fact that if they weren't such pigs they might be able to spend their Friday and Saturday nights chasing women instead of sitting in my house drinking all my booze, eating all my food and then picking the plaque from their teeth with the tiny axe of one of my $50 pewter chaos warrior figures (A hanging offense in my home let me assure you).
Things I like to feed my guests on role playing night? :M+M's, Fruit roll ups, and their cigarette/beer of of choice. To make a game fun, limit a smoker or boozer to a certain number of beers/cigarettes per game turn, phase or game round (depending on the game). A little bit of chemical withdrawl can even make the most ambivalent player start to care about the outcome of his plastic figurines.
And call me "Joe Social", but I have always believed that a guest who enjoys a game, truly delights in interacting with other human beings in a familial manner at your table is so much more fun to remove from play and promptly send home, because no one likes a troublemaker...
