I'm sure at least a few of you have read this, but screw it.  It's damn funny and this is for those who haven't.

Sad thing is, I've had a few games go like that over the years and we were never drunk.  Or high.  Just really, really weird.

My group was like that before we started drinking, the alcohol actually mellowed us and helped us concentrate. Funny stuff.

I've never had the pleasure of gaming drunk, but I have gamed jacked up on flu meds ("No. You're sick." "BUT I ALREADY BOUGHT MY TICKETS FOR THE CON! *hackhackhackhack*"), on enough caffeine to probably count as a controlled substance, and incredibly tired. Fun stuff.

24 hours without sleep is the equivalent of six shots of Jagermeister... ;)

(And I do look dashing in spandex...)

Spandex is an abomination unto the Lord.

All I know, is one does not argue with Cthulhu and Cthulhu hates him some spandex.

Spandex requires a license to wear. That would fix the problem with spandex quickly.


I have a great (foggy) memory of walking a party down a hallway, open a door & land at Detroit Metro Airport...

Twice back to back. I then went to bed on a players recommedation! ;D
Good Time! Good Times!

OK not necessaraly a RPG, but in my group we have a couple "filler" games we play for when we are waiting for others to arrive, etc.

One is from Steve Jackson Games called "Battle Cattle". For those of you who DONT know, its a card game...mostly where you pick a cow (with names like Jersey Devil, Angus Khan, Cowabunga...you get the idea) and you draw attack and defense cards from the deck and use them on your opponents. Now, each attack/defense card has a location: front, right, left, rear, etc. Some attack cards also are a bit on the..silly side. So Imagine six drunk knuckleheads throwing attack cards like the "Cattle Pult" (which yes, is a flaming pile of....yeah) and "Milk Bomb", attacking the front and rear...

Needless to say, some of the comments flying as attack cards were played were not work or family friendly if you catch my meaning...

If you can't find it at your local game shop (have seen it at all of the ones in my area), there is always the obvious Google, Amazon, and E-bay. And last I checked, the game was relatively cheap.

My local game shop is usually good about getting stuff so I will go and ask about it.  Also I can direct order from SJ Games if I get desperate.
