¿Question #4449?
obob: Everything's going well mid-game, but somehow the food/snacks/drinks run out! Do you declare a game break while someone goes out for more, or call someplace that delivers so you can all keep playing?

Woelf: Someone not currently taking their turn (or due to go next) gets more food from the kitchen and/or places the order while the game continues.
bkdkk: Call someone who delivers - the game might not get going again
meijerc: I make sure I have enough before starting.
jegan22280: that doesn't ever happen.
Zamomin: 1. Play a filler game to determine who is going to get the snacks. 2. Play a filler games while the one guy is out getting the snacks. 3. Continue playing.
kathleenryan: Both! Don't want it happening again.
Felimid: Either solution works for me.
veritasae: No food at the table!
Fairer Sex: They can go hungry, dammit
puffinge: delivery please
gmonk: Delivery if immersion is required, break if not.
DKahnt: keep playing
Polgara: this never comes up while the shops are still open...
Doc_Adam: make that call
Blacknightjj: we just keep playing. we go to game......not pig out, that is why they are called snacks.
Numskull: Neither. Shut up and finish the damn game, you pig.
datainadequate: We carry on to the bitter end despite starvation and dehydration
chad56s: This never happens in real life.
BoBoPrime: If all run out, I'm out the door, if just food, then I call for a pizza delivery
Rockhead: You can't go half a game without eating?!
DHEK: Just go without the stuff, man! Or if really desperate, get someone to go out and get some.
Geosmores: Delivers
JasonMatthews: Most of the guys in our group could use a little snack moratorium if you know what I mean.
Annoy Mous: Neither
dturnerfish: deliver
scriptorum: Depends on the expected remaining duration of the game. If there's less than an hour remaining, just suck it up and keep playing.
Royalflush: Call someone who delivers... or just keep playing!!
pothocket: Break time.
arkibet: delivery! But the food has NEVER run out to this day, in over twenty years of gaming
Avatar_69: We manage without until the end of the game then send someone out for more
marshalljansen: We rarely eat/drink *while* playing a game. In between games, we pick based on what we want.
Ebon Wendigo: Depends on the game and the group. I have done both, but the former is more likely than the latter.
confuse_a_cat: I've done both.
bigbadsteve: depends on how long the game is, but usually its break time
brainrob: If that happens the host has made a huge hospitality booboo ...
Andrew Snyder: I've never had that happen
Loquutus: delivery
fFish: the former. return soon, full of sugar fat and caffeine
MisterCranky: I get my automatic weaponry and spray the room with friendly fire.
ZombyDawg: Delivery if possible. Otherwise send the spouse/SO (if they are a non-gamer - and don't forget bribery).
Belash: i play at home... never a chance of that happening
djlg: Neither. Just play on.
dakarp: stop eating, and keep playing
Dr. No: break, often it's really refreshing and clears your mind too
chaddyboy_2000: Finish the game, and then take a break.
CDRodeffer: Call for delivery. If we're finished by the time the food arrives, invite the delivery person to play the next game, and see if s/he can get us inside deals on future purchases.
skelebone: We ususally don't game to a scale where snacks and drinks are necessary like that.
jttm: Starve 'em all!
mrbeankc: Depends on where and when
Lord_Prussian: call
Spielfreak: The game's more important than chowing down. Since we've "run out", that implies that we've already had some nourishment. We can wait.
CortexBomb: I would just wait until the end of the game, food and drinks aren't that important
