I know for a fact one or two of them come in wasted, but strangley enough it doesn't affect game play at all.

I just have to ask: is there a Story Hour for this game?"


Honestly my weekly game is far more entertaining, if you ever get the chance to game with Mark Clover at a game day at Games Plus in Mt Prospect Illinois youll know why.

I usually eat dinner while gaming so I'll have 2 at most.

I have to drive home after the game, so any more then that, and I won't drive home, and my wife wouldn't like that.

The guys whose place we game at tend to drink more though. One guy drinks beer, the other either:

Beer, wine, or japanese scotch.

We added two new players to the game last week, and one of them drinks beer... The other I think just drank soda.

Japanese scotch?

*If my players want their charecters to live, one of them better have beer to sacrifice to the DM.
*Sometimes we also have wine.
*Mulling wine while DMing (while drinking) is hard.
*I have had better luck with hot toddies
*Actually, I could go for one of those right now.
*Newcastle Brown Ale: love it. Have some at the house right now.
*I wish it came in big bottles here.
*I think someone just brought it up as an excuse to post some pictures.
*Morrus, when you are back in DC, I will get some of the beer I drank as a student...and we can remove paint with it.

Japanese scotch?

Yeah thats the look I give him too...

There's a Sake factory right down the street and the company also apparently makes Scotch. I'm not exactly sure how they call it scotch, and not whiskey, but apparently they do.

And speaking of repulsive...

TerraDave... Man to each his own dude... but seriously... my own considers mulled wine to be one of the biggest affronts to mankind in the history of stuff that sucks!

Japanese scotch?

Yep. A fascinating story behind it, too.

OFFTOPIC: In the early 1900's, the owner of Japan's largest (at the time) sake brewer became enamored with scotch whiskey, and took all of his best people on a tour of Scottish distilleries. He obtained the secret to making scotch and took it home with him, converting his sake breweries into scotch distilleries. Today, Suntory produces 75% of Japan's scotch, and is considered to be among the higher-quality single-malt whiskeys available. Scotch is the second-most popular liquor in Japan today.

EDIT: There is a reason, legally speaking, that the Japanese (and only the Japanese) can call their single-malt whiskey "scotch." It dates back to when scotch-distilling was first exported there. It's in a book around here (*rummages through mess on floor*), but I can't seem to find it.

Suntori make excellent scotch. They actually import peat from Scotland and use it to filter the water they use in the distilling process. At a very nice scotch tasting night I went to a couple of years ago I tried the Suntori and tried it again. And again. The only thing I had that night that was better was a gorgeous single malt from Ardbeg Distillery. (Lord of the Isles IIRC.) So, big thumbs up for Suntori.

As an aside: that nightI also drank Welsh scotch and and Indian scotch. BRRRRRR. Don't. Just don't.

Kind of depends on the game I'm playing.

If it's OD&D, I'll brew my own beer from a useful baseline.

If it's 1e, I'll drink three different beers, depending on the situation.

If it's 2e, I'll start with -3 beers, and I'll drink up to 0.

If it's 3e, I'll only drink the beer after I study the label very closely.

If it's 4e, I can only tell what beers I've drank after I'm already drunk.

If it's Call of Cthulu, I'll drink beer until my SAN drops too low.

If it's Paranoia, I'll try to get someone else to drink the beer first, just so I know it's not poisoned.

If it's FFZ, I'll drink until I'm sharing my feelings with everyone.

Best answer in thread.

On the ale debate, personally I think of Newcastle Brown Ale as much of a muchness with John Smiths, Worthingtons, Boddingtons etc - they're all ok. London Pride is really good though, when I moved to London 8 years ago I was pleasantly surprised to discover they make good beer down here!

Edit: When I GM'd at home I used to sometimes have a nice single malt whisky instead of beer. My favourites are Laphroaig, which is very peaty & smoky, and Balvenie, which comes from a distillery near my parents' house in the Grampian mountains.

None. When I do get the chance to game it is usually with a group of various ages from 16 - 42. [We] find it inappropriate to drink around those that shouldn't be.
