Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
Greetings once again fellow denizens of the playground! As you all know St. Patrick's day is just around the corner and in celebration I will be running the classic Tomb of Horrors dungeon(3.5 revision). Now I would like to run a drinking game based on this illustrious dungeon and thus I turn to the forum to build a drinking game to run along with the tomb!
I shall compile the rules that I feel are best suited for maximum enjoyment on this post
(note playing with all rules in effect may not be the best idea)
-Every time a player says "WHY GODS, WHY?!" you take a drink
-Finish your drink every time you die
-Drink whenever you trigger a trap
-Drink every time you have to make a save
-Balance a cup on your head and walk across the room and back whenever you get a no-save-just-die. If you make it without the cup falling, you don't die. However if you fail you must take a shot
-Every time something terrible happens because of a statue, the party member who in the group's opinion most resembles the picture of the statue in the book has to finish his drink
-If you die from the [orb of annihilation in the statue's mouth], EVERYONE finishes their drink.
-Whenever you roll a natural 1, you drink.
-Whenever you roll a natural 20, the DM or a player of your choice drinks
-When a room gets flooded with liquid... EVERYONE DRINKS
-Everytime someone says "It's a trap", take a drinkLast edited by Enterti; 2011-03-09 at 07:35 PM.

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
How about this for a simple one:
Drink whenever you trigger a trap.
Finish your drink every time you die.
Though that would probably lead to alcohol poisoning...At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of the trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise.

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
Every time a player says "WHY GODS, WHY?!" you take a drink. Every time a character dies in a comical manner, you take a drink. Every time you take a drink, take a drink.

If you touch the orb, you have to take a shot of black sambuca.
Hmm, black sambuca over vanilla ice cream, sounds delicious.

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
Those are pretty good. Also:
-If you die from the [orb of annihilation in the statue's mouth], EVERYONE finishes their drink.
-Whenever you roll a natural 1, you drink.
-Whenever you roll a natural 20, the DM or a player of your choice drinks.

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
Oddly enough, our party found the Tomb fairly easy, and practically boring. Though we did have a solid skillmonkey, the only death was due to DM adjudication on something not spelled out anywhere. I stuck a stick or something into the statues mouth, and DM said I had to make a reflex save or it would pull the stick, and my character, in before I could let go. I'm not certain I could ever think of a time in my life I would have a death grip on something other than a weapon that would cause me to not let go if that much force was applied.
because of that experience, I was left very disappointed.

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
Yea, they really toned down the 3.5e version!
To really drive home that point, I made this thread:
http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=163734
It takes a while to get to useful posts, but they do exist in there.

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
To overcome certain delicate traps, rather than roll skill checks, you undergo various feats of balancing... after all the drinks you've already had. If you fail you drink.
So you never have to interrupt a game to look up a rule again:
My 3.5e Rules Cheat Sheets: Normal, With Consolidated Skill System
TOGC's 3.5e Spell/etc Cards: rpgnow / drivethru rpg
Utilities: Magic Item Shop Generator (Req. MS Excel), Balanced Low Magic Item System

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
@ Duncan- go ahead also sigging when I am next at my real computer
@Kobold- I haven't told my players what it is(besides one of them) and only that it would be a one shot with an attached drinking game (and to have 3 characters ready)
@ everyone else- all rules posted thus far will make it in, I especially enjoy surly's method of living through no saves, might make them take a shot if they fail though. Keep em coming!Last edited by Enterti; 2011-03-08 at 11:20 PM.

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
If the entire party wipes in one room, everyone has to do body shots off of each other. That could be awesome, horrifying, or both, depending on the composition of your group.

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
How about:
Whenever you die, you may take one (or two) drinks, and in exchange, your character gets resurrected at the entrance.Last edited by Eldan; 2011-03-09 at 03:43 AM.

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
In Switzerland, we have a drinking game called Fondue, which mostly consists of getting people to eat a mixture of cheese and alcohol until they get sick. So?

Re: Tomb of Horrors and... beer?
Any time you get teleported naked to the entrance of the Tomb, finish your drink.
If somebody does something that gets the party killed, everyone takes a drink except for the poor bastard that caused the party death. That guy has to finish his drink.
Any time you fall in a pit, take a drink.
Any time you recite part of the poem left by Acererak, take a drink.
