Test your brains and bladder in this fun, mind-altering fantasy role-drinking game! This unique game offers immersive yet easy-to-understand gameplay for players of all skill, experience, and sobriety levels, letting you live out your wildest fantasies.
Welcome to Titmouse's very first fantasy boozin' and blazin' role-drinking game, where you can inhabit the inebriated alter-ego you never had the courage to show people sober!
So, what is this game, "Drunkards, Druggies, & Delinquents"?
Drunkards, Druggies, & Delinquents is an all new fantasy role-drinking game that combines tabletop rpg characters and combat with an easy-to-play drinking game that is simple for anyone to jump into, regardless of their experience playing RPGs. The whole thing has a killer old school aesthetic, printed with lots of black-light-reactive ink, and art from a wide range of super talented artists.
Instead of taking damage, you take sips (or puffs, or nibbles on your favorite edible...).
There’s room for sober friends to play too. Chug a bottled water, eat sour candy, or do a set of chin-ups. Everyone can enjoy the incredible artwork, twisted characters, and absurd bestiary of Monsters that make Drunkards, Druggies, & Delinquents a truly one-of-a-kind experience and the perfect way to spend a night around the table rolling dice with friends.
We’d guess that the average drinking game is a lot easier to play than the average tabletop RPG.
We want our game to be extremely easy to get into, so we designed Drunkards, Druggies, & Delinquents to be a lot closer to the drinking game end of the spectrum, without sacrificing some of our favorite aspects of RPG gameplay.
The whole game is built around playing with a single 12-sided die, which of course comes bundled with every copy of the game.
We’ve also included cards for all Classes, Items, Equipment, and Monsters, so you don’t need to constantly reference any rulebooks and can stay focused on play. However, we love the feeling of playing an old school pen-and-paper RPG, so we’ve done a lot of work to make this a gateway roleplaying game that may just convert your casual friends into classic tabletop diehards over the course of the night.
At the start of the game, players will fill out Character Sheets and get into their new personas as warriors, wizards, or whatever, but with a twist of being themed around drinking and smoking, naturally.
Then you’ll roll the d12 and summon Monsters based on the results. Each Monster has different attacks, and any damage taken by players becomes sips, puffs, or whatever vice you’ve chosen to enhance your game with. Players work together to kill the Monsters, nut then more Monsters appear, and the whole thing keeps going until everyone is so drunk that they stop to order delivery food and forget to start again until next time.
Drunkards, Druggies, & Delinquents Classes are a twist on some of the character tropes you might find in old school RPGs, but drug-and-drunk-ified.
Ever heard of a Barbarian? Of course you have. Well here you’ll find a Beerbarian. And also a Blazebarian. And also a Barbeerian. It’s all in good fun!
Each Class has base stats, a mix of Armor Class, two Attacks which are either melee or spell, a Special Skill, and a Unique Trait. You’re welcome to mix and match attacks, skills, and traits as you see fit, but if that’s too much work and you want to get playing, you can simply select a pre-rolled class and go.
Classes are generally evenly matched, and can be supplemented by Items and Equipment to cater to various play-styles. Want to do more damage or have more defenses? There are Items and Equipment for that, just read on. You’re also welcome to completely customize or invent new Classes as you see fit! We're not gonna stop you.
There are 12 Classes to choose from, some beer-themed, some booze-themed, some weed-themed, and a couple more just for the hell of it. You're sure to find a fit for your playstyle.Â
In addition to picking a Class that you can identify with, you’ll be able to customize your character through choosing a selection of Items and Equipment to use in your session, all of which are accompanied by original artwork. Skillful players will see opportunities for unique team compositions and maximizing their effectiveness in Monster-killing, while casual players will appreciate a chance to play around with RPG-like character customization without being overwhelmed.
Items are meant to be used once and discarded, and a special mechanic in the game that refreshes your supply of Items (and encourages healthy hydration) is available to all players. Items might give temporary buffs, create dynamic moments of team play, or clear particularly nasty Monsters from the battlefield.
Equipment acts as a permanent modifier to your character, which allows you to modify your playstyle and build on your character’s personal story. These weapons, bits of armor, and other accessories may make you stronger, luckier, or more resilient, but some equipment will also carry negative or unpredictable side-effects. Choose wisely, or don't! You're still gonna end up drunk, anyway.
Nineteen horrible beasts, frightening ghouls, and disgusting creatures await you as you fight your way through a never-ending horde. (Plus, there's one nice one too. Gotta have at least one nice Monster, ya know?)
Monsters are summoned through the roll of a 12-sided die, and each has a different set of stats that make them interesting to tangle with. As your game progresses, Monsters will begin to pile up and their different attacks and abilities will have cascading effects that will give each battle its own dynamic flow and create memorable moments for you and the rest of your adventuring party.
You don't want to meet a Meat Man, man!
Every Monster in our bestiary has a ridiculous story behind it and is represented by a card of its own, with original artwork by old and new friends of Titmouse.Â

You might think that creating a game all about drinking and smoking is just an excuse to party at work and call it "playtesting." Well, you're wrong! It's actually just an excuse to commission a bunch of really cool drawings of insane shit.

We're excited to get this game into your hands as soon as possible! We're currently assembling final proofs of the game artwork, making final tweaks to the text, and working with production partners to ensure the best quality printing for the 100+ cards and components that come with each game as well as our add-ons. Because we're using a lot of black light reactive ink, we're going to take special care to ensure that it looks great under those specific lighting conditions as well as normal light.
