Game description, so you know what you're getting into

Setup, a little different from traditional pong, but for a reason

Chuggernaut

In the right hands, the Chuggernaut decimates the game. Full offense, that just keeps the onslaught going.

Pale-Ale-Adin

The Pale-Ale-Adin is a super interesting character to play, who is based on defensive tactics. He can block balls with a barricade, and can counter attacks.

Brogue

The Brogue is all about tactics. I love watching people play the Brogue when they have to scream their selected sneak attack word.

Wasted Wizard

The Wasted Wizard is a super balanced character. He can control the field while denying opponents use of their own powers. Later on when he hits level 3, you may need to adjust your play style based on the risk of landing a bounce shot.

Beercromancer

The Beercromancer is a ton of fun to play. He has good control of the field, can blind an opponent, and as per the name, he can raise the dead (beers).

Since the bottom description isn't showing up on mobile, I'll add it here, so you all can see it:

I have a website set up (yes I pay for it, and no it doesn't have ads):

http://dungeonsanddrunkards.com

Backstory: I have been working on this game for a little over two years. Various people have jumped in to help out, because as it turns out, making a drinking game that's interesting, but not too complicated isn't super simple.

I figured you all would enjoy this, so I'll just leave it here.

On the website you can download the materials to play for free. There are a couple formats where you can print it out, fold it in half and use it as a book, or a bunch of cards that you can print out to hold while you play.

Again, all the materials are FREE! You don't have to pay a cent or look at an ad.

Just download and go.

Have fun guys!

TL;DR - I made a drinking game for nerds like me and you can download it for free

Edit: Jeez guys! I'm completely blown away at how many people have upvoted and visited the webpage! I can't thank you all enough. It's been wild designing something for years, never knowing if anyone would actually like it. Hopefully you'll all like it after giving it a try too.

My friend set up a reddit for this as well to help let more people know about it: https://redd.it/4ehhmq

**UPDATE!** The kind people of the internet were supportive enough to point out rule ambiguities, so I've made necessary edits to the rules. If your current documents are Version 1.0, they are out-of-date. The current version is v1.1, which you can download from the website or the Facebook page. Thanks again for all the help everyone!

Ok guys get out there and play test and post the pics for us...

OMG, bonus points if costumes are involved

FarmerBecktold

This is awesome, inspiring, and very clever. Make a kick starter.

StagandRoses

This looks suspiciously like a needlessly complicated version of beer pong.

*Gasp* Oh no! I've been discovered...

UniSoul

Insta-Favorited. I will spread the good word, @OP!

Thanks! I'm posting this here so people see it and play it. Upvotes don't matter, so feel free to repost

Mikefreakinhart

Too long, couldn't follow, put dice in my beer

Watch your teeth.

Paoloc0mments

First instruction says you eat the ping pong balls when you score.

Fixed that little typo! You can see the edited version on dungeonsanddrunkards.com

xLadyGodivax

You deserve to make $$$ off this somehow.

Haha! That'd be awesome, but I'm just incredibly happy to have it out there. I just hope people really like playing it.

NATA5

I like playing a variant of this where I play D&D and drink.

themadprofessor

Where was this game when I wasn't too old for this shit?

KittenVonCatsworth

I have no interest in DOING any of this but it looks really neat.

ArseFaceofOakvale

Drunkards and Flagons*

You should have been on my development team. I blame you, and myself, but mostly you.

Coldshade

Nerf beerromancer you greedy devs! All you do is taking my money and not balancing the game!!11one11

Can I have some clarification? Do you think the Beercromancer is unbalanced somehow? Let me know! Thanks!

It's just kind of a meme, not funny enough to go further with it though. actually a cool game really.

Goddamnit...I didn't think age would catch up to me this fast... References....slipping... Have fun with the game though!

EdyPaz

+1'd at "please drink and game responsibly". Thanks, OP.

That's the thing about drinking games. Competition + Drinking can sometimes equal disaster, so you know, be smart

defenestrater

We would forget the rules after the first game.

Haha! We had that problem with so many other iterations. Too complicated. This version seems to work well. Let me know how it works out..

bitcheslovemacaque

I'd probably make the class cards and rules into a poster. Use big letters and pictures so you can read while intoxicated

Not a bad idea. A poster wouldn't be terrible, but how would people print it?

I'm pretty lazy, so I'd probably just print each picture on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet and glue them to a brostol board

MotoMeow

This sounds awesome but what do you count as a round?

That's in the full rules on dungeonsanddrunkards.com, but a turn ends when all attacks are used and balls are recovered by the other team.

SirAegis

How does one level up?

It's in the rules at dungeonsanddrunkards.com, but it's simple after you get 1 cup - lvl 1, 3 cups - lvl 3, 5 cups - lvl 3 (total cups)

DukeIAmYourFather

Lvl*

3 cups - lol 2 *

yea, three cups for lvl 2

TerraformTrent

Seems like you've played a match fairly recently, eh?

MattyP114

Reading your rules on your site, it says you have a first attack "At the start of the game." Beercromancer's level 2 has "b4 first attack"

Typo? Or incorrect symbol? And I'm assuming you can only use one active ability at once? chugger can't call a cup AND dual wield right?

He can. All abilities at all levels stack

Let me look into that. The phrasing might be off. Will check when I get home.

I read into it more. It later says "before YOUR attack" but in the beginning it says first attack.

I've edited the rules to make it more clear on the website and Facebook page: dungeonsanddrunk">rds.com">dungeonsanddrunkards.com; facebook.com/dndrunkards/

Ah. First just means first attack per turn
