August 23rd, 2013

DJ Ranma S

We started writing these rules before the show started, in anticipation of what was going to happen. And we continued to write these rules for each episode, we ask the general populous for their ideas. A friend of the show, Seibatooth Cosplay, took things one step further. So we are combining lists for one uber drinking game! Word of advice, you may need two bottles of jack for this.

Staff Rules

If you know the con they’re at, take a drink and an extra drink if you spot someone you know.
Every time you see Yaya’s cleavage, take a drink.

When you see someone cosplaying your favorite character, take two drinks.
