Damn! I rolled a buhlevin!
Absurd, but funny June 3rd, 2007
I was talking to a classmate of mine in college, in class mind you, and the subject of Dungeons and Dragons came up as I saw him pull several hardback monster manuals, DM guides, and other tomes from his bag (2nd ed. rules since I know you’re wondering). Now, I’m far from prudish but it wasn’t but five minutes into the conversation when he asked, conspiratorially, whether or not I’d ever played using the ‘Carnal Guide‘ additional rules. Ahem, no, I haven’t… and I’ve never needed a book for that sort of thing since I was 13… it really sorta comes naturally at some point. Not to mention that this was not a person I wanted to visualize, imagine, or come within 3 blocks of anything remotely involving anything
even somewhat carnal. Seriously. So, while performing some research for an event I’m bartending later this week (more on this later), I ran into this, a similarly minded set of additional rules regarding drinking in the D&D universe.
Now, being who I am and doing what I do I appreciate the sort of effort and thinking process this sort of thing would involve. Hell, I wouldn’t mind helping out with deciding how the roll tables for negative character effects should be laid out and stratified, ‘Oh, bugger off, I am NOT at a 2d6+10 yet! Just, go to hell you… you… nurf…’ *whump*. And, voila, the ‘Hammered’ drunkenness roll would be born. So, for your further amusement, cheers… and try not to head into the ’save vs. poison’ territory (brilliant, that).
