[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8117573, member: 29398"] I'm still surprised every time I see it. And saddened. Our games are rarely sober, except for whoever has to drive (in normal times, of my four players one lives here, another lives in our building, and two others are a couple who drive together - meaning only one of five of us has to stay somewhat sober). I firmly believe it makes for a better and more enjoyable game - people don't take it as seriously, are more willing to laugh at their own foolishness, and are more willing to put their characters into ridiculous situations. :) (edit to add: that doesn't mean we get falling-down drunk) The flip side is that as DM I might not play the monsters to their full capabilities; this tends to cancel out somewhat any tactical mistakes made by the players. :) [/QUOTE]
