We Play Drinking Quest by Jason Anarchy Games
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Reviving your hero requires one simple move: finish your drink. That is the core rule that turns our table into pure chaos as we play Drinking Quest, the Dungeons and Dragons inspired drinking game built for party nights, bad decisions, and big laughs. Matt takes the dungeon master seat while Andy, Chris, Siobhan, and Rob roll for initiative, argue about house rules, and immediately discover why you do not bring heavy drinks to this game.
We’re playing the Belch of the Wild edition of Drinking Quest, a Zelda parody packed with monsters, coin rewards, saving throws, and a shop full of questionable upgrades. Sidekicks join the party too, boosting stats or dragging them down at the worst possible time. Along the way we deal with falling beers, vengeful chickens, living cocktails, and saving throws that somehow include self worth and sexual prowess. The mechanics are simple, but the stories that pop out of each card feel like a fast actual play one shot.

Welcome And Table Setup
RobWelcome to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe!
MattWelcome back everyone to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe. Today we are doing something a little different. We're going to play a drinking game called Drinking Quest. Ooh. I am going to be the dungeon master. That sounds just weird. Don't you mean Drunkenmaster? Drunkenmaster. Yes, yes. I like that better. We'll explain a little boar. Little boar?
SiobhanHe is. He's a drunken master.
How Drinking Quest Works
RobDrunkenmaster. Sioban sidekick. Thank you very much, the little boar. There we go. I went full sweet as chef. Yeah.
MattBefore we continue on, I'm just going to have my friends introduce themselves so I don't have to talk for the next 30 seconds.
RobOn this day, I am Hero Bella Mix. Also known as Rob. Hello. I hate this. I'm not doing a voice, and I'm Chris.
SiobhanHi, I'm Siobhan. I feel like now that Rob has done it, I feel like maybe I should, but I'm Doonworth.
RobWait, wait, wait, wait. We gotta go back to Chris. Chris, you at least have to say your character name. You don't have to do a voice, but I'm Chuglocks.
AndyOkay. And I am Andy, and I will be playing the part of Chilena.
MattAlright, right. So if you've never heard of Drinking Quest before, this is a role-playing Dungeons and Dragons loosely styled game. You pick your character from some pre-made options. You also get a signature drink, and we are playing the Belch of the Wild edition, which is obviously a little riff on the Zelda game. And for this newer edition, you also get to pink an annoying sidekick. So this is a new mechanic that we haven't played with. This group that is playing today has played this many times. We started playing back during the COVID-19 horrificness as a way to unwind on Saturday nights, and we quickly realized that this is not a game that you want to bring heavy drinks to. You will drink a lot. One of the main mechanics is to revive your character, you must finish your drink. The rules say you're only supposed to do that once per round. You can, as with any game, loosely interpret how that goes.
RobWe did not follow those rules. No, not at all.
MattWe'll play it the way we want. Yep. All right. That's right. House rules. Last time I played with this, my health potion was a bottle of Jaeger.
RobI also don't remember the voice I was doing for this girl, so sorry. That's not going to be continuous. My continuity is going to be different every time.
AndyI think I was somewhere having a canon anymore.
SiobhanAll right.
MattI don't very Muppet sounding.
AndyThank you.
Characters And Sidekicks Introduced
MattSo this is a dice game. Each of the players have a unique attack, a unique level of defense. There is a store that you can buy clothing and power-ups from. You can also buy the ability to make other people drink from that store as well. I'm going to read the prompting cards here. And Rob has already rolled. He will be first. Then we're going to go right down the line and we're going to see how this ends up.
RobMatt, would you like us to introduce our sidekicks as well? Yeah, let's go for it. Okay. Um, so Bellamyx has her lovely sidekick. Fleurhop!
SiobhanI hate this.
RobYeah. Good lord. Chuglocks is uh questing today with Bjorn Bloodpaw, which I wish, listeners, you could see this artwork. He's a weasel in full armor, and he looks amazing.
SiobhanIt's like red wall style. Yes, it's very cool. Uh Dilworth is hanging out with Boar Regard.
RobThe Boar.
SiobhanYep.
AndyOkay. And Chelina, the cold cleric, is rolling around with Barrel. The Beryl. Barrel of Pain.
MattOh. Damn.
RobVery exciting.
MattSo we're gonna hop right into it here. Rob, first card for you. Yes. Beers of the Kingdom. Beers of the Kingdom. Beers are falling from the sky. Incredible. Oh no. The glass from these beers is cutting holes in your body. Grudgingly fight off these falling beers. They have three health. Their attack is a D4 plus one. I will be rolling on behalf of the beers in this case. And the way this is supposed to work is we are both supposed to roll a D6 to see who attacks first.
Round One Starts With Chaos
RobI see. Okay. I have a D6. Go right ahead. Oh, well, that's good for me. That was a one. Spoiled by the couple. And a four for me. Spoiled by a microphone cable. Alright. I'm attacking first. D4 plus one. Here we are. That's a one. That's a two because that's a one plus one. So my attack is a two. Alright. Where's the math button, bruh? Get the hell out of here. Oh, he had it on the right page. We're talking about numbers.
MattNew year. That one still cracks. I'm back on it. Here we go. Alright. D4 plus one.
SiobhanOh, that's a five.
RobNot gonna lie. I believe I'm dead. Well, this was fun. See you guys. So hold on.
MattUm, what does the bellow ale do for me again? That allows you to come back. Yes, you roll your uh you roll a d6 and you come back with whatever you roll on the d6 worth of health.
RobOh interesting, even though my original health was something different.
AndyI doubt you can go beyond your max.
RobYeah, you could roll a five, but you would go to your max of four. Okay. Or maybe three. Well, my max health from the original card is a five, but I'm minus two HP from my sidekick. So is it just minus two from whatever I roll? Yeah. All right, so I'm gonna come back with my bell-o ale, please and thank you, with uh a one. Christ. All right. Um I'm alive. Do I also get an attack, or was that my turn to attack?
MattZombie U gets an attack. Three!
RobA three. I'm dead. Which is a four.
SiobhanYes! Hooray!
MattOr three. That gives you 35 gold and two experience points. Oh my god. He's rich.
SiobhanJust barely.
RobTwo XP. Very good. I really wish we would have had the ones recorded from Oh, that would especially the one he did for your birthday.
AndyYeah, that was a good one.
RobWe did, yeah.
AndyI don't think that would translate well to podcast because all the inside jokes, but that was so good.
MattYeah. There was, I did do a custom campaign of this for Chris's birthday. I did one also called Battle of the Bands. That was all like if you're a starting off. Did we play that? Yes, we did. Yeah.
SiobhanWe did not remember that. Probably because you died and you had to bring your baby back to life.
MattI don't know. No, he had to be because I definitely had cards that reference things that happened when Rob and I were bands in the city. That's fair. Alright, this card, Chris, and I'm so happy that as a fellow Zelda player, I get to read this one to you. Chickens! Solid. Just to see what happens, you swing your weapon at a chicken.
RobI would not be as foolish.
MattIt is hilariously inconvenienced. You continue whacking away until all of his chicken buddies swarm you with beaky fury. These chicken give no clucks. The chickens are attacking with a D4. You and I need to roll to see who goes first.
RobWhat are we rolling? A D6 for a roll. Good Christ. Oh no, the chickens get a six. It's always the chickens. Oh Lord. Also, real quick, before we get too deep into this turn, I need every person that I've killed because I'm a necromancer and I can bring them back to fight in my stead. Yo, that's six. Alright, Matt, you're rolling first for attack. Three plus one, which is a four. Nope. This is just he's just a d4. Just a d4. Sorry, that's my bad. Okay, so I'm down to three left. The chickens again give no clucks. And I get a four plus one. That is a five damage. F your chickens.
MattF your chickens? Chickens dead. You get 25 coin and one experience point. Noise.
RobYo, hit me with the how 25 golden how much XP? One.
MattNow remember, when you hit five XP in this game, you can buy the mead and make somebody else drink.
RobOh.
MattOh.
RobAll right, Sivan, you're up.
SiobhanI am. What's happening?
MattMom Jeans Cuthuloo.
SiobhanAmazing. Cthulhu?
MattCthulhu, sorry.
SiobhanI was like, Cthulhu.
AndyBecause I'm like, what?
SiobhanYeah. That was actually a decent attempt. To be fair, Cthulhu is a very difficult thing to say if you don't know that what it is. Mom jeans.
MattCthulhu. You have never been so attracted to an otherworldly entity. Well a saving throw for sexual prowess. Oh. Success. You get to know each other really well and you find 50 coins in her jeans. Add one pair of mom jeans to your character sheet, which might come in handy later. Failure, you lose your grip on your sanity and lose negative one to all of your saving throws. You are not sure if it's the genes or the cosmic horror.
SiobhanSo what is the saving throw? Tell me. Tell me how that goes.
MattSo the saving throw, you pick up all three dice, the six, the four, the six, and the ten, and you must roll under the number that you have for sexual prowess on your character card. You must roll equal to or less than.
SiobhanMy sexual prowess is 12 because I have a minus two from Beauregard, who's killing me over here. All right. That's a 14.
MattNegative ghostwriter.
SiobhanSo that's a no. So I'm sorry. I lose. What do I hire?
MattYou lose a negative one on all of your saving throws. They're all down one point. In this game, that's actually a pretty shitty thing to have.
SiobhanI love a mom jean. That's such a bummer.
MattWell, squid in mom jeans. Andy. Um, Chilena, thank you. Sorry? Chilena? We got for you a calamity cocktail. Ooh. Mixing a drink. You're surprised to see it's taken on a life of its own. It was a bad idea to steal ingredients from the forbidden bar fridge. This is the worst drink you have ever made. This thing's got four health and attacks with a D6.
AndyOkay. So we're rolling a D6 to see.
SiobhanOh, that's a one.
AndyThe villain has gotten a one. Alright, I can I can beat that. You hope. We've got a six. We're starting strong.
SiobhanThere you go.
MattYou must roll first. What is your attack over there? My attack is a d6. Right in the middle. Three. I got one health left over here. I'm rolling with a d6 also. That's a one. That's a one. Alright. So I take one hit point.
AndyYep. Correct.
RobAnd a one gets you a win here.
AndyWell, so I win.
MattThis is gonna be a six. Four.
SiobhanAlright.
Saving Throws And Weird Encounters
MattThat'll give you 55 coin and one experience point. Coming back around to Rob. No one has used their special drink yet. Right. Rob, this is a balloon ride. Doesn't sound so horrible. You go for hot air balloon ride. Well a saving throw-up for tolerance to see if you can hold in all this wine you've been drinking. Success, you share some wine with a pigeon who returns a small bag containing 40 coins, and you get one experience for not dying. Failure, you get air sick, but also at the same time get sick from drinking too much wine, lose 4 HP from throwing up and vertigo. 11 and my tolerance is 13. Woo! I win. You do win indeed. That is 40 coins and 1 XP for you. Nice.
SiobhanRude.
MattOkay. Awesome. Moving over to Chris. And keeping in mind the shop is available for you if you'd like to buy anything. The card here, helpful old man. And it looks like uh Rome Bosforama's hayroll from the beginning of Breath of the Wild. Yes, sir. Um out of nowhere, a helpful old man shows up with uh two four packs. Uh he tries to give you a useful tutorial on how to drink beer, but you hate tutorials and fight him for his beer. Gain a bellow ale if you defeat this old man. He's got three health, he's rolling with a d6, no defense. We roll in for first. We're rolling for first.
SiobhanIt's a five.
ChrisMan.
SiobhanI have a five as well.
MattAlright. What happens with ties? Uh actually they go to the hero.
SiobhanOh, there you go.
MattOh heck yeah. Alright.
SiobhanAttack.
MattSlap one. So you take two. I take two. I can't say it.
RobI take two.
SiobhanTwo.
RobI'm still at one HP. Second attack. Yeah.
SiobhanTwo.
RobI'm dead. Hooray. Take that, old man. One question. What does the what does defense do? It would minus his at his attacks.
MattYeah, so if I like I rolled a six, I would only do five damage.
RobHow high is your defense that you didn't pay attention to? One. Okay. Just one. Alright. So I still would have died. You would have died, yeah. Yeah. No, we're we're good. I just I just wanted to know. And he has didn't call the arrows. Thank you. Other than the the whatever ale that I just got, did I get any gold or XP? Okay. Jesus.
SiobhanOkay. Good Christ.
MattDisturbing on multiple levels. Okay.
RobMy guy. Other than the ale I earned, do I earn any gold or XP from slapping an old man?
MattYeah. You get 25 gold and two XP for two XP. Two. That's a lot of XP. Which if we're going to do it. If we're going by game lore, is you technically slapped the ghost of an old man, but we will try two. That's okay. Still counts. Siobhan. Yeah. Rum raccoon. Ooh. An adorable forest creature has stolen a bottle of your favorite homemade rum. You are not a fan of raccoons, but they're creepy little human-like hands. They're just the worst.
SiobhanYeah. What? So I have to fight it?
MattYou are?
RobUh he rolled a four.
SiobhanHe's got a four.
MattAnd I'm fighting with a D4.
SiobhanAlright. I need a D4.
MattThat is not a D4. That is a D10. We'll triangle.
SiobhanAlright.
MattFor the listeners at home. That's a four plus one is a five. Yeah.
SiobhanAlright, I get listen. I don't I'm not here for animal cruelty, but he was being a bitch.
MattAlright.
SiobhanNow what?
MattWhat do I get? You get 20 coins and one experience point. Noise.
SiobhanMoney. Other than that, Mom Jean's Cthulhu.
AndyChilena.
SiobhanSecret?
AndySorry.
MattOh what? Wow. That is her name. Okay. Secret recipe. You make camp and decide to try out Mom's recipe for deep fried beer pints. Roll a saving throw for smarts. If you're successful, you gain a delicious deep fried bellow ale, which will restore you to maximum HP. Also gain one XP for being a master chef.
RobHow does one deep fry an ale?
SiobhanWe're not asking.
AndyIt's a secret.
ChrisOkay.
AndySecret recipe. Alright, so tell me again for a saving throw. You roll all three. Roll all three.
SiobhanAnd it has to be, and it's for smarts. So it has to be under less than your smarts.
AndySo I'm trying to get under 10. Uh nine. God speed. The barrel. Barrel brings me down. So eight.
MattWe are at eleven.
SiobhanYep.
MattFailure. The glass explodes in your face. This was ill-advised from the beginning. Your mom was hardcore. Lose six HP. Oh good God.
SiobhanOh my god. Are you still alive?
AndyI'm good. How are you alive? I have nine. Wow. Good God. This guy started with seven and barrel the barrel gives me a plus two to HP. Oh, they okay. Yeah. I took six, you said? You took six. All right. Can I like a champ? Use barrel the barrel's ability, which is once per game. Barrel can protect your hero and avoid any damage from an attack. Does that count as an attack?
Signature Drinks And Near Deaths
MattYeah, that would have counted as an attack, yeah. Alright. I'm gonna I'm gonna use barrel the barrel's ability.
SiobhanOkay, nice. Ah, six HP.
MattWell done.
SiobhanIntense.
MattYes. There was a hilarious moment Chris and I were discussing earlier. Him and I played the very first, so there's multiple versions of this game. We played the very first one. He had we had no idea what we were doing. And we came across a card that was basically rolled to avoid a loose plank on a pirate ship. And Chris took the plank to the face, killed him like right off the bat in the first game we played, and it was very cartoonish and hilarious.
RobWell, similar to Rob, this game, I think it was the first card we drew, and we thought, oh, it's just a pirate board. It'll be no problem. And then it did six damage, it was ridiculous.
MattYeah. Yeah.
RobAlright, Rob, you're up. I'm ready.
MattMead meeple. Everyone knows that a meeple is a cross between a marshmallow and a weasel. One of the meeples in this forest clearing has gotten into the mead and is attacking other meeples. Mash the mean mead meeple. Well, that was hard to say. That was a lot of literature.
RobHow many uh no. I'll play it back later. How many HP does this meeple have? He got two. Two? He does have one defense. One defense. Okay. I would like to enact my necromancer's nectar and have the Beers of the Kingdom destroy the meeple. Okay. Okay. So the Beers of the Kingdoms come back with their three HP points. Um I'm still rolling a D4 plus one for my attack. Does does my character's defense do anything for this?
MattNope.
RobOkay. Um, if this dies, I also die. Whoa. Like that is that is the power that I have. If my monster dies, though, I die. Asbella!
MattWell, I just rolled a one, so you're gonna get to attack first. I have rolled a four.
SiobhanMatt rolled a one, so.
RobAlright, Beers of the Kingdom. Don't let me down. Roll uh one.
MattRoll uh one. Oh nice. That's a dead meeple. The poor meeple. That's 40 coins and one experience point for you.
SiobhanOh. Does that guy stay resurrected now?
RobNo, I can only use that one time. Okay. Who's gonna shop? I have the shop. May I buy on this turn or may I wait until the next turn? You're supposed to buy at the beginning of your turn. Okay. Passing the show. Oh, is it beginning? I thought it was end of turn. Beginning of turn. Oh, okay. That's fine.
SiobhanDo you need to buy something, Chris? No, I don't know.
RobI'm sorry.
SiobhanI'm sorry. Chug locks.
RobNo, I don't I don't have enough money for what I want yet.
SiobhanOkay.
RobI want to get a piece of armor, but I need 75. Alright, what do we got, Matt?
MattWe got treasure chest.
RobIt's a mimic, I know it.
MattYou open a treasure chest and find a perfectly good meat skewer. Roll a saving throw for self-worth.
RobOkay.
MattSuccess. You put the meat skewer in your pocket to be eaten later, which can restore up to 5 HP. Failure. You accidentally stab yourself in the face with this cure and lose 5 HP. It is a 10?
VariousYes.
RobOkay. Saving throw of self-worth. And I have 10. Here we go. Is that? I thought that the that's an eight, right? Oh balls. I rolled 11. You have stabbed yourself in the face with the meat skewer. Of course I did.
MattAnd you lose five points.
RobAlright, I'm gonna roll a D6 uh roll drinking my my ale. Because I died.
SiobhanWhat is it? Oh. The bellow's ale.
RobYeah. And I get one back. I'm with you, Rob here. Hey. Yes, I am currently sitting in a one with my regular character.
MattZombified Chris. Not bad, not bad. Siobhan, for you we have a whiskey guardian. So for anybody who's played Breath of the Wild, it's it's the Guardian from Breath of the Wild. You just had to test the limits of where you could explore and found a huge boss that is much too strong for you to fight. But you're feeling pretty good after drinking some homemade potato vodka, so maybe you can pull this off. The irony of you drinking a vodka in club soda right now. Indeed. So, six health points, and this thing's rolling a d8. We got no defense.
SiobhanGood God.
MattI wish I had the sound effect for the guardian attacking you.
SiobhanWe do need you have to add that in post, maybe.
RobLucky for all of you, I can't roll to attack first. But that means you win.
SiobhanYes, I win. Heroes win. I win.
RobHeroes win. I need the D8, though. D eight this way.
MattAssuming Siobhan does not roll a six right off the bat.
SiobhanI need a G4, and I'm doing it.
MattI got one health point left. Wow.
ChrisWow.
MattBrutal.
RobAnd with one mighty swing, the whiskey guardian. Oh, I'm dead. There's an eight.
SiobhanGod.
MattWhat's your sidekick do? Uh you must technically finish your drink. Well, I do revive Zysa.
SiobhanOnce per game, I can run away from a losing battle. Peace out.
RobOh later.
SiobhanPeace out. Do I still take the HP hit or no? I'm running away. I'm good. Peace out. Peace out. Thanks, Beauregard. This game used to be a lot more brutal.
AndyYou see me escaping? All right. Yes. Hey, can you remind me what does the um the signature drink do?
MattThe signature drink you can use once per game. It is like your special power up power.
SiobhanYeah, it's whatever it says.
RobOh, that's what this card is.
SiobhanThat's what that one is. Yeah. And it tells you what you can do.
Round One Wrap And Reset
AndyOkay. Gotcha. Gotcha. So my signature drink is. The unicorn brandy. Which once per quest uh no, this is not for the right character. Oh I thought it was. Math. Blonde hair girl. I told you, white hair girl. White hair girl.
SiobhanHe needs the frosty brew.
RobYeah. Frosty brew. Hold please.
AndyNow I've got a frosty brew. That's a big drink. Once per quest, Chelina can either heal herself three hit points or heal all players one hit point.
RobOh my god.
SiobhanShe's a cleric. That's her deal.
RobYep. Will you be gracious?
MattSo this is Gary, a fearless lich. Mathematically, it's better to heal four points than just three. Gary, a fearless lich. Gary is a bare minimum lich that does just enough to still qualify as a monster you have to fight. He has two HP and a D6 attack. Gary's a basic lich.
SiobhanGary. Oh my god. He before he came, he got a PSL.
AndyYeah, definitely likes pumpkin spice latte.
SiobhanHe loves Cachue, Pepe, and Caesar salads. And Chris.
MattRoll the two.
AndyI got a three. You're up first. Woo woo. Alright, how much hit points you got? Two. Two. Oh, you're about to murder. Don't roll a one. Oh, that was close to a one.
MattIt's a six.
AndyOh.
MattThat'll be 40 gold for you. Hot and one experience point. All right. Peace out, game.
AndyI'm up to 95 gold.
RobWait, can I ask? Did you did you enact your frosty brew or no? I did not. Okay. Is everybody down at least one? Well, there I'm at one level. I'm there at one HP each.
SiobhanSo I'm good, but did you just refill?
RobOh no, you ran away. I remember now.
MattOh, yeah, I know I ran away.
RobYep.
MattSo that is the end of round one.
RobAll right. Oh my god.
MattYeah.
VariousAll right.
MattOh. We wrecked them. You will heal back to full strength.
SiobhanTo full HP. Are saving throws still affected?
MattYour savers saving throw are still the same as they were. They do not restore. Poop.
SiobhanOkay.
Shopping Phase And Quest Two
MattI'm gonna I'm gonna buy a horny helmet before we do this, though. All right. We are on to round two. So quest two. So for drinking quest, each overall campaign has three mini quests in between. We are now going on to two. The monsters get harder. Their defense goes through our ditch.
SiobhanWell, okay.
MattGood lord.
SiobhanJesus Christ.
MattThat's aggressive. That stays in. That's yeah, that's staying in. So there it is.
SiobhanWell, clearly it sounds like it would. What a good time we have here. It was a good job.
MattAll right. So along with that, all of your health goes back up to max, and your special drinks get restored for this round as well. Now, there are some that are indicated that they're one-time powers for the entire game. So Rob had one of those, I believe. That's now gone.
SiobhanI also had that. So my running away from a losing battle is only once per game.
MattWay to save that for the really hard creatures coming at you right now. Good job.
SiobhanWell, I mean, mine was pretty rough. Trade future proof. That guardian was rough.
RobAll right, Rob. Before I go, I would like to use my coins. Welcome, traveler. I see you have coins to spend.
VariousOh.
RobYes. Yes. I have 105 coins. Welcome to my shop. I have 150. I have 115 coins. I'm sorry. Jesus God. I have 115 coins. We're talking about numbers. And I'm actually unfortunately five short of what I wanted to buy, which was the sexy staff. So I'm going to go with uh instead the horny helmet for plus one of defense and minus 75 coins.
MattOkay. So, Rob, your card, and I'm going to try my best to get through this without laughing. How the sausage is made. Yeah, tell me about it. You open the wrong door and see the secret to how wieners are made. It chills you to your bone the bone of your soul. As it turns out, soul bones are also an ingredient in wieners. You must now fight man-made horrors beyond your comprehension. How many HP? Only two, but attacks with a D8.
RobOh shit. Okay. Roll to see who goes first. That's on the ground. It's on the ground. Or is it? I don't know if it counts. It's a four on the ground, but I think it needs to remain on the tack on the table. That's fair.
SiobhanNo, yeah, we want it. Yeah. Three. Three. That's even better.
AndyYeah, pull on it. Spit on it.
SiobhanEw. Six. Yeah, baby! Disgusting. And now it has COVID.
RobRob is fighting the sausage. And I now have two defense. Thank you very much. And here we go. That is a three plus one. That is a four.
MattThe sausage is dead.
RobYes. And I will take that because my necromancer nectar has refreshed as well. And the sausage may come back later. You don't know.
AndyWhat is this? Oh, this quest.
RobYes, I got another XP, which now takes me to five XP. Uh Matt's dying to my left.
SiobhanMatt died and I got 25 gold.
MattI can't. I couldn't process the next title of this. I wasn't expecting it. But the the quest two is called.
RobUse a weird voice when you read this, please.
SiobhanCan you weird it up?
MattThe quest two is called the wiener factory.
SiobhanEw.
AndyGo on.
SiobhanThat's the best part is that. That voice. That voice was only factory. That was only kind of weird.
MattI can do this if you want. Covered in wieners. You walk by a shelf full of perfectly stacked wieners, but slip on some loose gelatin casing. Bro. The impact from the fall causes the wieners to comically fall on you. You need to fight your way out. Well, thank God it's comical.
RobI love how these always make you the stupidest decision maker in the whole world. Matt rolls a five for attack first. Oh, it for that you, bro.
SiobhanYeah. Yeah.
RobChris gets a two. Hang on. I'm gonna use my special power, which allows me to re-roll for initiative. Roll uh one. Once per game, win win initiative. No, I just win initiative.
SiobhanOh, there you go. So you won. Okay. You get it.
RobIt's Bjorn. My weasel. It's Bjorn. Yeah. Uh what how much health do you have? Three. Hell yeah. All right, here we go. A six! Yeah.
MattSuck it, Wieners. 30 gold, one XP for Chris. 30 gold, one XP. Alright. Man. Yeah. This is depressing. I need somebody to dive. I'm very concerned if the next card is gonna be another wiener card. It's gonna be me. What is going on?
SiobhanOkay.
MattWiener machine. Great. The off button is jammed on the wiener machine. Wieners are whipping everywhere at extreme speeds. Find this wicked wiener whirler.
SiobhanOh wicked wiener whirler. That's where I went in college.
MattThe wiener machine has six HP and attacks with a D6.
SiobhanI in the hell a four.
RobWe always found that the second round in this game is way too difficult for Wiener. Three frick. Oh yeah, you attack with a D6. The Wiener Machine hits you with a four.
SiobhanAlright, a four. I'm at a five, so fine. I don't.
MattOh, this thing also has one defense. So six health and a defense. Good God.
ChrisOh.
SiobhanWell, I'm not. I haven't attacked yet. Let me just look at my lemons. That sounded like a thing. No, it's not. It's I have I have a bag of lemons. Maybe step out of the room and do that in front of it. Stop it. I'm gonna see what I need to do with these lemons, and then we'll we'll figure it out. That's a two, and I get a three, but I can use a lemon and it deals an automatic point of damage. What's your HP?
MattSix plus defense of one.
SiobhanAll right, well.
MattSo that is the three. I take two. I have four HP left.
SiobhanWell, no, because I have four lemons. You wouldn't know.
MattYou're gonna throw multiple lemons. I sure can.
SiobhanI could use all the lemons.
AndyAnd I would think if it's automatically damage, that would scale negates the defense.
RobAgreed.
SiobhanYeah, it says automatic point of damage.
RobAnd you're um but you still wouldn't you still wouldn't defeat him because that's four, but he has three. Oh, you have a plus one. Yes, I have a plus one.
SiobhanAnd actually, no, actually wait! I have a plus two because Warregard gives you a plus two, so that's a four. So I actually only have to use three lemons.
RobHow much HP?
SiobhanLike just well, he took me down to one.
RobOh, he took you down to one.
SiobhanYeah.
RobI think it's dead.
SiobhanI killed you.
MattAll right. You get 60 coin and three XP for a whole lot. You have one lemon.
SiobhanI still have one lemon.
MattSo, Siobhan, do you have five XP now?
SiobhanHold on. What how many XP did I get?
MattThree.
SiobhanNo, I have four.
MattI have five. You can make somebody else drink if you would like. For what purpose? What does that do for me? It makes you happy.
SiobhanYou get the meeple.
RobOh. Well, okay. In the future, we should do that. We'll come back around to my turn and I'll ask my question.
SiobhanCan I check how many coins did I get from that? Please.
Rob60.
SiobhanOh, thank you.
RobZero. Good gravy.
MattChelena. Yes. Nice buns. They are. Yeah. You have some really nice buns. True. Soon everyone wants them, and you have to fight off a swarm of random people who are trying to grab your buns. Keep your hands off my buns, you stream. Wow. This is a creature card. So four HP, attacks with a D6, no defense. Alright. See who's going first.
SiobhanOh, also, I'm just calling out that you have this frosty brew. And so if you wanted to heal all of us, or me, that would be great. All the rest of them are fine.
RobThat's a one for the monster.
SiobhanOkay, go ahead.
RobWhat are you rolling? Well, it doesn't matter because even if it is a one, the hero tag goes to the hero.
AndyWe got a two. All right. Alright. Here we go. What are you attacking? Roll away. We are attacking with a D6. Alright. Oh. Just a one.
SiobhanIt's a one.
AndyDiaper stream.
MattAlright, I'm down to three. That's a two.
SiobhanAll right.
AndyI have a defensive one, so I only take one. One. It's a medieval slap fight. Oh, five.
SiobhanFive. You did?
MattI did. Kicked him right in the buns. You got all the bones.
SiobhanRight between the buns.
Meeples Drinks And More Wieners
MattI don't want none because you got buns. You get 40 coins and one XP. Alright. Alright. So now.
AndyWho all is down at least one hit point?
RobUh currently I'm not down any.
SiobhanYeah, no, you don't. It's just me that's suffering. We'll hold them because I'll. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. We're down one. We'll hold. Yep. Yep. It's just me being sad.
RobAlright. Now, before my turn, Matthew, my 5 XP gets me what? A card?
SiobhanNo, the meatball.
MattIt's an interlude for Rob's series of questions. You can, yes, you get the meeple so you can make somebody drink.
SiobhanYou gotta read the whole paragraph. But you get like that.
MattI'll give you the summation. You can pick that up, give it to somebody, and then the next round, next quest we do, they're supposed to be able to give it to somebody else to make them to drink. It starts around Robin type thing.
RobAlright, your your drink looks close to finished. Siobhan, I meeple you.
SiobhanOh, you're gonna help her? No, it doesn't help. It's bad, isn't it?
MattNo, it just makes you drink. That's the point of the cake. That's fine. That's why we're playing it.
AndyI think there should be something more mechanical to that.
RobI know. That's that's why I was saying we gotta figure something out for next time.
SiobhanScary. Oh! He has two faces. He's like, err. And then he's like, err. Harvey Face. What did you do with scary face? That's so good. Those are so good.
AndyI love Pete Holman's. All right. Scary face. Shabon finished your dream face.
SiobhanSo making them chug, but now that player can give it out next quest. Okay. Good to know.
MattOh no. Andy. No, it's me. No, it's not Andy. Andy just Weenie. You mix up a delicious wiener drink. Roll a saving throw for tolerance. Success. This drink was perfectly mixed, and you feel godlike. Your skin turns a sallow pink, and you gain plus one natural armor from all the wiener nutrients. Ew. Failure. Your insides don't agree with this drink at all. You start throwing up various animal parts, and you're saying a saving throw of your choice is reduced by no, that's a six.
RobAnd I have a talent of 13.
SiobhanOh, hell yeah. All right, good job.
RobIs great. All right, so what am I gaining? I'm gaining defense. You gain one natural armor from all the wiener nutrients that you have. Is it defense? Defense. Defense. Okay. Thank you.
SiobhanI love how he's so concerned about that. And we're all like, Wiener powers! Like, you get the wiener nutrients. He's like, can you guys tell me what's actually happening?
MattThat's it. You get plus one from all the wiener nutrients you just ate. Wait, wait, wait. I get no coin from the wieners? No, you had you just drank a wiener teeny and got all the nutrients from the wiener card, bruh.
SiobhanYou have to get on OnlyFans to get coins from the Wieners. Okay? We all know the deal. All right?
RobIt's only cans in this game, please, and thank you.
SiobhanI have lemons.
RobOnly lemons.
SiobhanThe fact that wiener nutrients are not in the new dietary guidelines was a big miss, everybody. Flipped the pyramid. They flipped the pyramid, but they didn't include wiener nutrients.
MattOh, Chris. What's happening? I'm sure that they have.
SiobhanIt's beef tallow wiener nutrients.
MattChris, for you, we have the wien holder. Okay. All right. All right. Behold an eyeball. Ew. Creature with eight wiener stalks with an eyeball at each end. It shoots you for the genet blast. I looked at the illustration.
SiobhanI need to see it.
RobHe's just not prepared. It looks like Krang with a bunch of dicks coming out of his head.
SiobhanNo.
AndyOh, that's a beholder.
SiobhanIt's a bewiener.
AndyA dick holder.
SiobhanWhat is it called? I'm sorry.
RobThe wean holder. There it is.
SiobhanThere you go. Andy with the actual DD knowledge on this one.
RobWhat is happening? Alright.
SiobhanYou're being attacked by the ween holder.
MattBy the ween holder. Alright, roll for initiative. Go ahead. A living satchel of Richards is what is attacking you right now.
RobAlright, I also rolled a three, so. AKA a bag of dicks.
SiobhanA satchel of Richards.
RobAlright, you're taking uh two damage.
MattAlright, that takes me down to four, and I'm attacking with a D6. I also oh no, I'm sorry. That takes me down to three because I have defensive one.

RobOh fuck. I meant to buy a fucking thing, that thing. Sorry. You wanted to buy a wien holder? No. No? No. No, I wanted to buy No. Okay, moving on.
SiobhanGet out. No, it's too late. I can't. You have to do it the next turn.
MattShabon. Yeah. The Wiener Mancer. Oh. That sounds cool. You are accosted by a terrifying wiener wizard. You watch in horror as she gathers random objects from around the room, turning them into wieners. She violently hurls the wieners at you, but you can only keep eating them for so long. Jesus.
SiobhanAw, that's fair. Listen. There's a threshold, okay? One defense. We can't run train for a long time. It's like the Midas cuck. One D. We're screaming. Who's watching? Who's watching? Who's watching?
MattI don't roll for it next time.
SiobhanThat bitch is watching. Matt is so uncomfortable. It's great. No, that was not real. No, that wasn't. That was not a good thing. It's as real as anything else I've rolled. Throw that like that bitch is throwing wieners. Let's get it. No.
VariousThree. How does he do this?
SiobhanHe throws the dice. Every time. Inconvenient.
AndyHey listeners, if you're a 3D printer. If you're a 3D printer, Matt needs a dice tower.
SiobhanYeah, he does. Look it. Okay, for real, without Rob screaming. Matt does need a dice. Maybe the listeners there.
AndyYeah, dice tray. That's fine. I'll bring the dice tray. Maybe the listeners out there does 3D printing or something like that. If you can make a custom beer bottle-shaped dice tower for the city, please don't make it a wiener universe.
SiobhanAlright, I'm attacking first.
AndyOkay. Shavana took it.
SiobhanD4 plus two. That's a four. I'm sorry. I don't know any of your stats.
MattI'm dead.
SiobhanOh, great.

RobThis is quest two, electric Cuthaloo. Electric Cuthaloo.
AndyAlright, so I need to make a saving throw for sexual prowess.
SiobhanYeah, so you have to draw. Yeah, you want to do a thing.
AndyHand me the dice. Old. Coming your way. I got an eleven. My sexual prowess is only a seven.
MattOh. Failure. After a heated encounter, you can never use the break room. Again, your saving throws are reduced by two from exhaustion.
SiobhanAll of them.
MattAll of them. Brutal.
RobWoof. Alright. In the immortal words of Kevin McAllister.
MattWoof. What do I got? Something you've never had in your life. A suggestive thought. You pick up a wiener with a fork and think of a funny joke. Roll a saving throw for sexual prowess.
ChrisOh.
RobWait a minute. I'm not gonna lie. This does sound like Rob right now. I hate you all. That is good. 10. And my sexual prowess is a 14. Suck it.
MattWhat do I win?
SiobhanThat also sounds like rap.
MattThink of a pretty funny stand-up comedy routine. You're able to quit your job at the wiener factory to pursue your passion, gain 60 coins.
SiobhanOh.
MattYeah.
ChrisAlright.
AndyHow's everybody doing health wise?
MattI'm good. I'm okay. I'm not gonna lie. You're caring of checking in every once in a while.
AndyI'm a good hero, or maybe.
SiobhanI know. That's a good clerics role.
RobRob, are you down at all? No. Okay, you're at your max health. No, I I one hit the only monster that I've faced, and then the other things were both saving throws. So Chris. Wait, wait, pause. Yep. I'm buying some uh shit.
MattChris is going shopping.

Gain one maximum HP, you are the wiener. Failure to joke on hot dog number 34. A kindly ogre with a pension for emergency preparedness rescues you. Lose one maximum HP from great big ogre hugs.
RobAlright, here we go. You said this is self-worth. Yeah, you need less than 10 or equal to, right?
SiobhanYeah, you guys.
RobOh my god. I'd like to point out when you guys told me I should roll a D10, I had rolled a four total. No, and now both times rolling with the D8, I've gotten uh schlapped.
MattWell, you have choked on hot dog 34, lose one maximum HP.
RobAlright, well, that's just maximum, so it's not gonna affect me right now. Correct, correct. Siobhan?
SiobhanWait, I have a question about weapons.
MattYes.
SiobhanSo if I on this shop card, it tells me the cost of the thing. And then it says damage.
MattYep.
SiobhanDoes that mean I roll that damage for the actual weapon in addition to my thing?
RobNo. Or it's a new weapon. So then But I think you have to stay within your weapon class. Like I'm a staff user. Chris has a sword. She's in the produce weapon class. So I could just buy another satchel of lemons.
SiobhanOkay. I'm gonna buy the giggle juice gloves for plus one defense.
RobThere you go. Okay.
SiobhanHee hee.
