I remember everyone always having their dice in a little circle, with the highest number facing up. Not sure who started it, but we’d jokingly freak out if we notice a buddy not doing it.

“You crazy man? Do you want a natural 1?!”

We have one player that always manages to create really weak characters. I guess that isn't a tradition, but it kind of funny to watch him do it game, after game, after game... Samuel Van Der Walls last blog post..RPGBomb - A Social Networking Site For Roleplayers

I’ve only just joined a live group so I’m not too aware of what the traditions are as of yet… but strangely enough, I got slightly lost the first day and was frustrated enough that I bought a bag of crisps and a chocolate bar… I ate the bar before I reached the gaming place and seeing all the food people brought (I had no idea people bring food to the gaming table) I offered mine…

It was a sign…

Now that’s a tradition I may need to try out for myself

I always grab the seat next to our friend’s 12 year old daughter, and we spend the whole night blaming each other for passing gas.

I’ve not had alcohol during a gaming session in about 10 years! I stopped after working my way through a 12 pack and collapsing during the final battle. Never again

I always thought it was a given that the GM should receive drinks all night at con games. Even if it is only as an attempted bribe.

Other than drinks and cookie bribes I don’t think we’ve ever really been a group that ate whilst gaming. It must just be the habit of not being allowed food in the hired hall from yesteryear.

1) Beer, in various brews. A 6 pack per player normally.
2) Black licorice
3) Smartfood white cheese popcorn! Normally it’s only one bag, but my players always seem to hide the bowl/bag too close to my screen, denying me the cheesy satisfaction of a handful of kernels.
