Exigence - or - Why I Felt the Need to Create this Blog

12 August 2012.

Wow. 6th Edition is here, and I feel like it incorporated many facets of our house rules here are the Lower Register.

Go us. GW, you can have those for free.

Plz look for some updates soon as I try to figure out how my precious BA will fit in to the world of Overwatch and Random Charging distances. Gotta say, so far, I am loving the idea of 5 attacks per Death Company Marine (2 base, 2 for charging, 1 for extra weapon).

Why Lower Register? Pedro and I started playing various wargames about five years ago, but found that we just didn't have time to complete standard games. We, along with our limited pool of playing partners, decided that we would become good at skirmish games that we could enjoy on a regular basis. So, over time we amassed a body of experience in Kill Team, Warmachine, Infinity, and other such games. This blog is the natural outgrowth of that experience, and our desire to share it with you all.

Tabletop Drinking Wargames

Was just perusing Spikey Bits blog, and I came across the rules for Beerhammer.  There is one weird little rule that makes this work as a no kidding drinking game.  This was too good not to repeat (with slight edits):

One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer: At the start of his player turn, each player gets one bourbon (2 oz, straight shot), one scotch (2 oz, rocks... water optional) and one beer (12 oz. glass, can, or bottle).  Drinks may be drunk at any time.  A player may not have more than one of any drink at a time.

One Bourbon:  Drink the shot of bourbon. Ignore any one failed save.

One Scotch:  Drink the glass of scotch. Re-roll any one d6 or make your opponent re-roll any one d6.

One Beer:  Drink the whole beer. After any roll of yours, replace any one d6 with either a 1 or a 6.



Spikey Bits, thank you for Beerhammer!  Bad to the bone baby.  I think those bennies would be tempting enough to make a player drink.  Two turns at maximum effect, and you're six drinks in to a bender.  That's enough to start anyone down hangover highway.

  1. Hey, thanks for the blog shout-out! I'm really excited to have found Lower Register, smaller games are definitely a lot of fun in my experience. It's nice to find some other people who appreciate them as well. Best of luck to you and Pedro with your blogging and gaming!

    I agree that Beerhammer looks like a blast. That's another advantage to playing lower point-total games. Since the games go by quicker, that way there's still time to play another round of Beerhammer! :)

    Cheers!
