Drunkxalted - basically playing Exalted while getting pretty trashed.
Our games have been following a trend lately - and I say games, because Frank's been running those one shots - where alcohol isn't just present at a session, but been an active ingredient in the planning.
I don't really like it.
Now, I've drunk while playing before. In fact, it may be more common now then not drinking, but I've found that after the first one or two, games really go off the rails. Last nights game was like this. It wasn't that we didn't have a pretty good time, because we did, but there wasn't a lot of gaming going on. I didn't really wanna get hammered on a Tuesday during our game, so I was staying pretty clean until it became clear that things just weren't happening tonight.
However, we did get 7 experience points. I guess that's point two - that normal things, even when they occur, tend to be exaggerated. I like getting exp fine. I mean, you use it to buy powaz, and that's fun. But I don't remember why we got 7, and I'll wager that Frank doesn't really recall the specifics of it either.
I like Exalted. When I sit down, I want to play Exalted. I drink all the damn time, but Tuesday is game night.
This isn't a condemnation of the group, this is a decision I've come to now, but I feel pretty firm on it.
