The Once and Future Drinking Game – The Rules

, 0 Comments

As per the wish of our wonderful patreon supporter StilesLuna we are planning an end of the year Merlin Drinking Game for Destiny & Chicken.

The epsiode will be posted on the 29th December, ready for any New Year’s Eve parties you may be planning to see out 2019! But now, on to the rules:

Drink every time:

  • Someone on screen drinks
  • A toast is made
  • Someone’s life gets saved
  • Merlin calls Arthur ‘Prat’
  • Arthur calls Merlin ‘Idiot’
  • Arthur gets knocked unconscious
  • Arthur looks the other way when magic is used
  • Obvious action/explanation for audience benefit
  • Old married couple bickering
  • Bromance moment
  • Someone’s angst is large
  • The Dragon is on screen
  • A Horse is on screen
  • Gwaine’s Hair (added in honour of our friend Aimee)

Have a shot every time:

  • Telepathy is used
  • Arthur has a ‘King Arthur’ moment
  • A character is too good/pure for this world
  • Arthur pouts

Please drink responsibily and make sure you know how you’re getting home, if you’re playing the game at a friend’s house.

Merlin ‘Lessons Learnt’ Game

Merlin ‘Lessons Learnt’ Game

Fandom is all about exchanging and discussing opinions, and podcasting is a lot more fun, if we are all engaged in the conversation! We always like to encourage lively debate and write ins from our listeners and Destiny & Chicken – A Merlin Podcast is no different, so we have come up with ‘Lessons Learnt‘ to encourage write ins from our listeners.

For each episode we asked listeners to send in their thoughts on what the main lessons was that a character learnt or that the story was trying to teach.

Thank you to all the wonderful people who wrote in over the years, and made the podcast such a fantastic joined effort! It’s been delightful to read all of your thoughts every week.

We choose up to three lessons to awards points to each week. If you collected 5 points you received a drawing in the Destiny & Chicken style or a piece of handmade Merlin jewellery!

In the words of the great dragon:
“There is no right or wrong. Only what is and what isn’t.”
