This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

When did DnD get so expensive?

Yeah. I remember when I was nine years old and looking to start playing D&D, the cost of those three rulebooks was daunting. Then B/X came out and all was well because I could get the entire rulebook, module and even the dice for a really reasonable price and add on stuff to expand the game later (I didn't really know what cost deferment was at 9, but I seemed to work it out). Too bad there isn't a Starter set for 5th edition and downloadable basic rules to get you started... If a nine year old could figure it out, you'd think an adult could.

Gamers are even cheaper than model railroaders, and that takes some doing.

As I said on the GaryCon Facebook page when people were complaining about the cost of food... delivered to your gaming table as you game... "Gamers are cheap shitheels."

Well, to be fair, they were forced at gunpoint to order it, right?

The irritating part was comparing it to McDonalds'.  What's the opportunity cost of halting the game, a ten minute walk to your car, a ten minute drive to McDonalds', another ten minute drive to the convention, five minutes looking for a place to park, and a ten minute walk back to the table.

Or pay $12 for a burger and fries, including tax and tip, and keep playing while it's brought to you.  Yes it's more than McDonalds, but the convention hotel makes its money off food and drinks, not the rooms.

$12 for a burger and fries hand delivered, tax and tip included sounds a right bargain to me. I bet I couldn't talk my wife into making me a burger and fries and bringing them to the game table for less than that.

How good were the burgers?

I don't want to make assumptions, but I'll bet plenty of those gamers could stand to skip a meal or two anyway...:D

The burgers were meh.  Not bad but not good.  The pizzas were actually fairly nice, if simple.

Hotel convention food is expensive, we all know that.  But not out of line.

The hot sliced beef and cheese for $15 was hit-or-miss; good once, dry the next time.  So it goes.
