What the hell is this?!?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!!?

There's this really cool thing called alcohol, and it's really
cool for drinking during a gaming session. (Or even better, game
in the bar, like we do sometimes! :)
Don't go for pure alcohol, though - go for beer (Budweiser, if you're
a wuss, Boddingtons if you're a real drinker, and Guinness if you're in
Dublin! :) or, perhaps, cider... which, over here in Europe is somewhere
around 7% alcohol (But go for Merrydown Cider, which is 8.something per
cent! :)

Yeah, they still make it. The same company also makes a drink
called Nitro, only legal in three states (New York is one, I'm not sure
about the others.) They say one can of Jolt is the equivalent of four
cups of coffee (wrong, IMHO, but I drink good coffee.) The same people
say one can of Nitro is the equivalent if _ten_ cups of coffee.
Its illegal in the other 47 states because you can't legally
purchase that much caffiene without a perscription.

get
Grimore
Street Sam catalog
Maybe Rigger - if you need the vehicles
A paranormal animals book (America is good for America, but Europe has rules
clarification)
ShadowTech - a must have

Seattle source book - always nice to know the city.
Fields of Fire is ok - but not a must - its for more experienced gamers

All other ones are nice but not of real importance.

Germany - its europe, but good
London - the same
Tir Nan Og - its munchkin ville
Tir Tairngire - very good, lots of info and lack of info (you'll see what I
mean, lots of droped in hints and various curiousities)
NAN I + II - good books, but I have lived without them



NAGNA not NAGTNA - 'To' is usually just left out

I agree... You really can't beat a good beer. Guinness is just a bit much for
me though. Try what we do down here in Texas... Brew your own beer. Can't
beat that.
Later...

Well, that would be my first choice (especially now that it is exam
time!), but I can't seem to find anyplace near the campus that sells the
Elixir of Awareness :-)

Beer?

Then you'd go to SLEEP, wouldn't you?

What's the fun of that?

We're trying to stay awake...caffeine combined with lack of sleep will
still usually allow that "I'm not in my right mind" feeling, and you won't
collapse (or throw up) either...

Ok, since you asked, I'll tell you. I was in a gaming session once
where the players were allowed to drink, and they were doing so
liberally. I must admit, the role playing was really incredible,
it also started getting out of hand when one player, who was role
playing a sam, got into character a little to much and started to
beat up a guy who was playing a mage. Well, the guy playing the
mage forgot that he really couldn't cast spells and started trying
to throw a spell at the guy. Needless to say, the guy got to stay
a few nights in a hospital, and the guy that beat him up a week in
jail. Since then, in all the games I GM, I have not allowed the
players to drink before or during a game.

Whoops. I storytell a lot, and on occasion a small glass of alcohol (like, say,
2 shots of red wine) helps me loosen up. I try not to rely on it. *shrug*

Being born and raised Italian imparts a good respect for alcohol.

Being Italian may impart a taste for wine, but what about us Southerners...
Good strong whiskey with a beer chaser. That can tend to make any running in the
evenings very short-lived though. ;)
This shot's for ya'll.
