A munch is just a simple, casual get-together, typically within a public space (such as a restaurant, cafe, or coffee shop) under "vanilla" or regular dress code. It's a way to interact with your local community members and build local connections with smaller groups, exchange information and knowledge, get pointed toward reliable resources, and gain a better understanding of your area and it's general acceptance.
The "munch" name comes from the idea of "meet up" + "lunch". One should always be prepared to make a courtesy purchase at the hosting establishment.
It's primary focus is to remove the feelings of seclusion and rejection by bringing to light that others in your immediate area share the same interests. It also helps to connect people who are interested in more than just online roleplay. Many more experienced community persons often become involved in munches so it can be a resource in itself to find mentorship.
