1) "Sugar" is NOT a food group. It tastes really good, but it
instantly becomes fat if you don't work it off. And unless you're
planning on doing push-ups inbetween dice rolls, you're gonna be
porkier after the game.
Never underestimate the power of pretzels. They're fat free. They're
filling. And most importantly, they're cheap.
Try tossing some rabbit food(baby carrots, green onions, radishes, etc)
onto a serving platter, douse the stuff with a heap of Ranch dressing,
and pass the tray around (remember... NO DOUBLE DIPPING!). Yeah, the
Ranch dressing is full of fat, but the goodness of the veggies more
than counteracts the effect.
2) If you ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY hate to work out at a gym, then do
something comperable at home. You can go for a walk around the block
while your GM's figuring out why his chump of an NPC got killed so
easily.
Skip the damn gaming books for a month (a $100.00 savings for most of
you...) and invest in some sort of exercise bike or one of those
"wonder gym" thingys that you always see on the infomercials late at
night. Hell, you can even put them in front of the TV and work out.
3) Or, if you're REALLY gung-ho about gaming, and still hate the gym,
invest in some sparring equipment. That's right, go down to your local
martial arts supply store, tell the dumbass clerk that you're Bruce
Lee's third cousin on his mother's side, and that you need a bamboo
training sword, a fencing helmet, and some leather gloves (it should
cost you about $100.00 for all three).
Then, convince your gaming buddies to buy the same stuff as you did.
Now, put on your helmets and gloves, grab your bamboo swords, and beat
the living shit out of each other! Sure you'll look like dorks to
everyone else, but, damnit, it'll make you feel manly to bludgeon your
fellow gamers. And you'll be getting AEROBIC EXERCISE, too.
It might even add a little realism to your RPG--now that you've
actually swung a sword.
