Lol yeah sorry the wording isn't clear.
NPCs play for free and can bring their own food if they want. PCs can pay the base price and also bring their own meal situations. However Alliance Ohio has a tradition off offering a full Tavern meal at our events. With our normal events this is a mandatory cost and everyone has access to the meals however for the National, as some players do not like this setup or are not used to it, we've made the Meal Plan optional.
NPCs who pay the 15$ and PCs who purchase the Meal Plan will receive Dinner Friday, Saturday and Sunday Night as well as Breakfast/Brunch on Saturday and Sunday. As of now though the event runs into Monday there were no plans to offer a breakfast. Drinks will be available in the Tavern at all times (to keep people hydrated) and we usually cook enough for people to get seconds and, often, thirds easily enough. Snacks between meals or any additional food you'd like can be brought in as well as cabins have stoves/fire pits that can be used or maybe you can tip some of the PC-volunteers in the Tavern to prepare food for you.
Cabins should have Refrigerators as well as the Tavern fridges or coolers can be brought to store food you want to bring in yourself.
At this time I'm not sure what exactly we will be serving but if you have any special dietary needs please let us know ahead of time (allergies, vegetarian, etc) so we can plan for you. We try to wait until near the event and purchase fresh meats and vegetables based on what our local stores/butchers have available for a good price. At least one of the Dinners, as of now, is intended to be a Pig Roast which should be absolutely mouth watering and smell fantastic throughout the camp for hours while its prepared.
As the event draws nearer and we figure out how many people are looking for the Meal Plan we'll have a better idea of what budget we have and what produce/meats/etc are available and looking fine in the area.
