Last year at D*C, we played "Shiny". Anytime someone said "shiny" (which happens A LOT when browncoats get together) that person would have to take a drink. It was fun.

Several of these have been worked out for Firefly, not sure where they are, but we could always make up our own. Circle of Death is just much faster, if your goal is Stumbling Drunk.
Firefly drinking game ideas....
How about anytime anyone touches a weapon.
Anytime Simon has trouble talking.
"whore"
"shiny"
"Gorram"

I might venture having a shot every time a character adds a line of "Chinese" into the dialogue.

I've kinda sorta given some thought, at times, to ordering the Firefly rpg. Would we possibly have the time to try that out?

oh, any line of chinese is a good one to add.
You wouldn't have to order the RPG, it should be available there. Not sure if we'd have time to play. I own it, but I never finished reading it. I'll have my copy to add the autographs of Summer and Alan. I had all 4 BDHs last year sign their characters in the book. Yes I'm a geek. Please attempt to hide your shock.

er, if it helps, i was intending to bring the official serenity companion book, and get them all to sign their photo's. (theres a nice hafnakedMal picture in there, oh dear, i'll just have to go to another con sometime to get that one signed)

i just thought it would be nicer than the single pics. though i have to get a single pic from Sean for my sister to frame (he is at s3 isn't he? er, loosing the plot.) I though rpg's took who days, and i can't play them anyway, don't have the brain power.

but maybe if you give up the hope of those last few remaining sleeping hours...

Your robot reminds me of you. You tell it to turn it stops. You tell it to stop it turns. You ask it to take out the garbage it watches reruns of Firefly.

Depends on the game. For a short self contained adventure (something along the lines of "Trash") a couple of hours should suffice. Should you get involved in a regular game it could - over a series of individual episodes - last indefinitely.

Sure you do. You RP all over the place here. A pen and paper RPG is the same thing only with dice.

I don't know ANYTHING about RPGs except the guy selling the book last year tried to convince the other Serenity and I we had to have it because it was named after us and we tried to convice him to give it to us for really cheap because it was named after us.

I think he eventually cut the other Serenity a deal and she bought it.

CMS- Dave's right you are constantly taking parts in interactive stories and that's what RPG's are, interactive stories with a structured system to help move them along smoothly. It's no more nerdy than anything we do here. As far as time frame, they can be ongoing adventures that are as long as you want them to be or they can be one off vignettes that may just take a evening or a afternoon. The most important thing is that you have a good imagination, and that's key to the whole thing. You should give it a try.

*whispers* Seryn, if we encourage them all to RP, then we can have the hotel rooms all to ourselves and can get some sleep. It'll keep them all occupied for HOURS!

Yes, RPG, sounds like a great idea! I think you all should go for it!

You should pick it up. Even if you aren't planning on playing the game. It's a decent resource on people and things in the 'verse. Not quite as authoritative as the OVC but more detailed. Plus pretty pictures of the BDHs.
