This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
That does look like a good afternoon. :)
ReplyDeleteIt pairs well with a brown ale.
ReplyDeleteWait, are you reading LotFP books at the wursthaus?
ReplyDeleteI was! the one by my place in Golden Valley. The Western burbs are hip.
ReplyDeleteCasey G. I've always entertained the idea of formally pairing games and booze. What goes with AD&D 1e? Call of Cthulhu? Traveller?
ReplyDeleteHuh. Let's see...
ReplyDeleteAD&D: Miller High Life
Call of Cthulhu: Bathtub gin
Traveller: Syrian Panther Sweat
Fun exercise, isn't it? AD&D is definitely beer. CoC just begs for Prohibition-era stuff, though sherry or port also seem fitting when your character is a neurasthenic New England scholar or dilettante in a library, perusing ancient tomes. For Traveller I'd play up the "Age of Sail in space" angle, so rum it is.
ReplyDeleteOf course, this is mostly theoretical, as at my table we default to beer and/or soda.
call of cthulhu is probably absinthe for me. for traveller, I don't see how you'd have cargo space for anything but everclear and tang.
