Call of Cthulhu Drinking Game
« on: June 07, 2011, 10:21:18 PM »
I had an idea for this while being bored at work. So far I got only take a shot/drink/swig (depending on what your drinking) when you fail a SAN check. I could go worse and make a shot per each point of lost sanity. What other rules should there be?

1 shot per point of sanity is way too much.

find a tome - take a drink

read the book - take 2 drinks

the book is evil - take a drink

the book wasn't evil but was useless - take a drink

the book wasn't evil, wasn't cursed, didn't cause you to lose sanity but was extremely useful - finish the bottle

I support this whole-heartedly.  Ross, I think I know what the April's Fool game should be.  Tom will have to GM, of course.

Players attack other players because of "sanity loss" - drink

Guns don't do shit against the scary - drink

Awesome ideas guys. Lot of this reminds me of the GI Joe drinking game. I think we should add in some rules to get the GM taking shots too. I've learned that having a drunk GM is hilarious and you can get away with a lot. Every 5 SAN checks the players don't fail, take a shot.

I would've loved to have these rules for masks.

Any time a weapon is fired on full automatic- Waterfall!

Recruit an NPC, picka  drinking buddy, any time you drink, they drink!

Use of an improvised weapon, or a weapon in which your skill is starting % or lower= 2 Drinks!

Granted, you are now Tom.

You enter a location that could be described using the word "catacomb": drink

Every fifteen real world minutes you wander around trying to find the clue you missed: drink

Anytime "longpig" and "ghouls" are mentioned in the same sentence, take a drink.

Discover you're trapped in Carcosa, take a drink.

Add a dash of trail:
Every time an investigative point is spent drink twice
Every time a General ability point is spent drink once.

To my knowledge, that only happened to us once. And the ghoul is the one that said it.
