Hey gents/ladies!

Now I got a question for all you tabletop gamer's! What substances do you abuse when you play game! I usually play with people who drink and my personal group smokes "stuff" while gaming.

Just curious what do you do when you play game? If you prefer to be sober Great! You had a drunken brawl cause you were to drunk! Well lets hear it!

And I am not speaking of tournaments just what you do with your friends!

Personally I think it adds to the narrative when the guy your playing against is role-playing the commander of his army you usually have a blast!

Since quite a few of us spend a lot of time on our models painting....and the money involve. All parties refrain from drinking and smoking "recreational" substance.

None, I know my limits like any reasonable person should.

Alcohol in a game that can lead to heated arguments. Sounds like a good plan!

I always keep a tube of poly cement and super glue handy. The super glue for field repairs and the poly cement for sniffing between turns.

I just inject meth directly into my eyeballs if I roll a result between 1 or 6.

What do you inject if its a 2,3,4 or a 5? gotta be something.

If gaming at home/friends house, a few beers in moderation. At the FLGS just soda and chips, with a pizza break between rounds of tournaments.

While the concept of beerhammer sounds fun, I put far too much time and cash into my army to risk a drunk and disorderly incident.

All the reponses i was hoping for

But come on! First if you have a heated argument because of substance abuse! Your doing it wrong!

And alright how bout RPG like deathwatch or WRPG!? Like I admit when I play in games some of my friends dont smoke/drink during the game which i abide to out of respect! Im not gonna abuse if im the only one doing it! BUT! I have a friend who plays wolves and I play orks now imagine the fun we have by howling and WAAAAGHin ever turn!!

I don't abuse anything.

I'll drink from booze when I feel like it, but I know my limits.

Everything else is illegal in my area and my company does random drug screens. I like being gainfully employed.

I feel abused with the various substances I need to use in order to game (model glue, primer, decal set, gap filler, epoxy, crazy glue...).

Honestly, to play 40k "properly" hurts the unhindered mind as it is, why make it even more challenging? (or we could possibly relate to the mindset of the rules creators but would need some hard drugs indeed).

Many of my friends smoke (not cigarettes) before we hobby out. It enhances conversations and the general enjoyment of the fluff/dice rolls. LOL.

This sentence comes dangerously close to promoting substance abuse. Bear in mind that Dakka is a family-friendly site, and as such plays host to a wide variety of age groups.

It's one thing to say that you drink/smoke during games, but it's another entirely to make 'substance abuse' out to be an integral part of the experience.

Substance abuse? Substance abuse?!

Any substance worth abusing is expensive. After paying GW's overinflated prices to play this game, how are we supposed to have any money left over to afford properly abusable substances?

Warhammer 40K: a crack addiction would be cheaper.

Substance abuse is rock and roll, not wargaming.

Wait.

People don't do a line of coke before each turn? No wonder everyone constantly complains about how much 40k sucks.

My old group used to frequently have cocktails during games when we played at a private residence. I find I can deal with my atrocious dice rolling better when I am a bit sauced. Now, I play mainly at the LGS, so I just have to rage at my dice and remember a time when chemicals made losing fun.

Excellent!

It's funny because it's a monitor lizard.

Nothing. No alcohol, no smokes, no drugs. I am clean.

Drugs are bad mmm Kay?


I am a caffeine fiend though :/

I might have a beer when I get to game in my garage, but at the club or the store it is caffeine that does the trick.

This made me laugh so hard.

Don't need substances, I'm high on life.

It was a very special shot-glass, custom made for every Alpharius on Dakka Detachment Three at the 2012 Adepticon Team Tournament.

It has served me well in the years since then

Usually if i'm at a FLGS i just drink caffeine and eat lots of gummy bears and protein bars.

At a friends house I like to enjoy a nice peaty scotch, like laphroaig, or a rye whiskey like bullliet. Beer is nice but once you break the the royal seal you must visit the porcelain prince to pay your tithe every 10 minutes or so.

At the local GW I make sure to wear rubberdoll suits and snort a lot of PCP before I whip out my models and pray to slaanesh for guidance. May the dice roll 6s, for that is your number my dark lord :snort: The kids love it.

Isn't the minimum age for Dakka 13? Think about the people who could be viewing this thread.

I think that is where Avatar's reply was a good guide:

Yes we have younger gamers on Dakka, many of which might even be able to drink alcohol depending on where they are located (Germany lets you enjoy beer at 16). Some locations even let people legally use drugs.

So I think it's fine if we talk about what some of us do while gaming, but we don't want to cross the line of telling other people that they should do it too especially if they are under age.

Also: God help us when Avatar becomes the voice of reason...
