Here's a couple game inspired then made in reality ones.

Kelly's Flaming Demise
type: triple shooter
1 shot everclear, if unavailable high proof vodka works as well
1 shot Captain Morgans original spiced
1 part blue curacoa

mix in small tumbler, light on fire, watch the pretty blue flame for one second, blow and shoot. make sure you remember to blow it out, our friend Kelly didn't.

I drank what?
Equal parts CM Parrot Bay and Pepsi, must be pepsi, when your done drinking a 32 oz cup of this not tasting the alcohol you definitly pull a socrates.

Belfast Bomber
great for just about anything if your in a hurry.

ingred. anykind of shot your prefer dropped into a pint of guinness, then jug. there is a specific shot but i dont remember what the first one was about 12 later that st patties day.

Only works on drinkers. People have tried repeatedly to slip me mickies, and I've never failed to detect the alcohol.

Of course :) considering the topic at hand there are those people who like drinking but dont necessarily like mixed drinks because of the alcohol taste.

If I might suggest a drink for a game as-yet-unfinished:

For Deplorable, the

Old Fashioned

2 oz rye whiskey (bourbon as a variation)
1 lump sugar
2 dashes Angostura bitters
2 dashes Curacao or Absinthe
1 slice orange
1 slice lemon peel


In serving glass, press with spoon and muddle well orange slice, lemon peel, sugar and bitters. Add whiskey and serve.

Hell yeah! Also, if you're really, really feeling like a Devil haunted, Western scum, you can try a....

Prairie Fire: 2 oz tequila, 1-2 tsp tabasco sauce.

Heh, that brings back fond (if hazy) memories of my stag night (what you guys would call a bucks night I guess).

We had "Mid Air Collision over Kansas"es, which is a triple... Down a B52, then a Kamakaze, then a Prairie Fire. And in New Zealand, the prairie fire has a raw egg in it too.

For the record, the best/worst drink of that night was the Tongan Blowjob (Tonga is a pacific island). Take a shotglass, full it half with black heart rum (76.4% by volume) and half with tobasco sauce, then top with finely chopped hot chilli peppers. That would go well with a game like kill puppies for satan because it makes you feel like it feels playing that game :-)

Nope, they're Stag parties or just Bachelor Parties here. Mine ended up in Canada...

I hope this is not too offtopic, but

a) An advice to Mike H.: Never, ever serve Kool-Aid(?) during a Sorcerer & Space game. It makes you want to chew on the other characters. No, really!

b) A con I attended in the mid 90's, "Hannover Spielt" sold a magical artifact called "The Bottomless Cup of Coffee and Tea": you bought it for a couple of bucks and then had free refill on tea and coffee during the whole con. Great idea.

c) for Orkworld:
Bala (honey mead)

d) for Changeling: The Dreaming
Green Fairy
1 shot of absinth in a glass, put one sugar cube on a tea spoon, soak sugar in absinth, put tea spoon with sugar on top of glass, set sugar cube on fire, wait until fire is out, stir sugar into absinth, fill with ice cold water

The look on your face still makes me laugh when I think about it.

Dude, gaming without my Kool-Aid? Not gonna happen, not at my house!

SURPRISINGLY EASY, actually. I'm glad I spent a lot of time designing the "back end" of the voting portal/ballot, because it's really been a snap for me to gather and organize votes. I'm friggin ecstatic, because at the way things are going, next years' work will be much easier.

Hints at who's in the lead? Hell naw! :)

One thing that really excited me at work is feedback.  I handle basically a huge feedback-gathering tool in internal support and the web at the company I work for, and am really looking forward to gathering and acting on people's feedback for next year.

On the Mead recipe earlier.
Be very careful there on the bottling. I would let in ferment quite a while longer. Buy or make a simple airlock for your fermenting vessel (available at homebrewing or winemaking stores).
The pressure inside the bottle created from carbonation of the still highly sugared liquid can explode bottles etc. Champagne yeast is great for Mead, but it ferments out to high alcohol levels if there is enough sugar. If you haven't fermented out enough before you bottle it you are taking some risks...the refrigerator will help since cold tends to make yeast dormant.

Homebrewing mead recipes, and other homebrew information are available here...

Mead is great! I've made it... it took several months to ferment out. I wanted only slight carbonation in the bottle, still got a little more than intended

Ok...enough Mr. Safety,

A nice lambrusco goes with anything, I have found, but it stains your teeth.

In Playboys' lists of top ten party schools they always include a footnote that says, "No schools from the state of Wisconsin has been included as this is a list of amatures, not professionals." Madison, and indeed Wisconsin, is a very strange place where drinking is concerned. It wasn't until I was in the army that I realized that drinking hard alcohol with every meal wasn't the norm everywhere. There are no alcoholics in Wisconsin, just citizens. Really. Being a "social drinker" around here would qualify you for alcoholism most anywhere else, with the possible exception of Germany.

Reminds me of the phrase, from the days of daily grog rations, "he was drunk by Naval standards."
