First Post
I think a little bit of back story is needed for this post.
I started playing with a new group 6 weeks ago. So to the group i am the outsider. Now all members of the group like to have a few drinks during play. This i have no issue with.
As a note i have to drive 40min to get to the GM's house so no drinking for me. I think everyone else lives within walking distance.
The gaming venue is the GM's house. Everyone gets a nice comfy chair or a place on the couch and the GM sits behind the Bar. Yes they have a fully stocked bar in the lounge. "I am kind of jealous of that".
The GM's duties not only include running the game but pouring beer and cocktail making. "I am really jealous of the bar its got beer on tap".
Now here comes my conundrum the GM likes a drink too and goes through a bottle of wine or 2 by the end of the session and gets completely hammered. I seriously don't think he can see the dice number by the end of the night.
So far the game itself has been great. Its a homebrewed pun not intended 2nd edition Ad&d. At the beginning the GM was getting tipsy by the end of the game session and all was well. Now he is nearly blind drunk.
At the moment the game is not suffering and no one else at the table seems to mind as they are all good friends. Also i need to stress thats its a good group, really friendly great atmosphere and they have welcomed me into the group without any qualms.
Because of this i dont know what to do. I dont want to bail on the game and the group. Being the outsider im not sure i have any right to bring up the use / misuse of alcohol on the GM's part. And i cant help thinking im just being a baby and i should suck it up and shut my mouth. But i have got a gut feeling that its going to become an issue later on so im looking for any advice about what i should do.
