- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 7:00pm
It's always thrilling to get to learn something about yourself when you (the GM) believe you know everything. Tonight I learned that by regulars I am considered a "speedy host." I start punctually and I keep the rounds moving in a way that is fun and challenging. I am also considered a "hipster host," with most of my drinking round questions being about arthouse movies.
Naturally, I took the chance to slow myself way down and I just had to have my players do their best Werner Herzog impressions for the drinking round this week.
This was some of the most fun I've had hosting trivia, the teams were fully energized and committed and the rounds were so, so fun. Especially a Super Mario round, perfect for Mar10.
As a plumber once said: "Let's-a Go!"

Wow what a night! A birthday! A full house! A tie-breaker! It was almost too much for your humble QM. But then, that's what I love about the Tam O'Shanter. I've never ever had a dull night here. And I'm very glad to say that we had a house filled with laughter, smiling faces and - if not always correct - then very entertaining answers.

There is nothing more enjoyable to me as a QM than a night of surprises and tonight's game had plenty. From unexpected and delightfully tongue-in-cheek cutthroat competition to several surprise come-from-behind power-plays, (including a last minute third place grab by team STARS), it was not a game to forget.
