Line 187:
* ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'''s goblin fungus beer allows goblins (more or less a human-child in size) to easily swing around metal balls bigger than them. It also make them meaner and crazier, and you're never sure ''where'' they are going to impact.
* ''[[Tales From The Floating Vagabond]]'', is a sci-fi comedy RPG centered around [[Inn Between the Worlds|a dimensional nexus that's also a pub]]. The house special is called "The Singularity", which only the Floating Vagabond's bartender knows how to mix without killing the person ordering it. There's a random table you roll on whenever you drink one. Some of the results from that table include "Imbiber instantly goes to maximum intoxication stage", "Imbiber is ''temporarily taken over by a past life''", "Imbiber ''grows extra limbs''", and "Imbiber's clothes come alive and gain sentience".
** The absolute minimum possible result from drinking a Singularity is +5 Intoxication Points... which in the Vagabond system is the mechanical equivalent of drinking an entire case of beer and then finishing it off with three shots of vodka. The second-mildest result is '''10''' Intoxication Points. The result above ''that'' is "instant unconsciousness". ''There are sixteen tiers of intoxication above this on the Singularity table''.
* ''[[BattleTech]]'' has the PPC, named after the Particle Projection Cannon, because it can "take your head off". Two shots of Everclear with your choice of either a shot of Peppermint Schnapps (Steiner), Tequila (Davion, Capellan March), Bourbon (the rest of Davion), Ouzo (Marik) plum wine (Liao), sake (Kurita), or MORE Everclear (Periphery)
* In the Tol Galen LARP/tabletop system (played only in the channel islands and filled to the brim with references) there are a few of these, the best established being Goblin Krakk (named for puns and the ballistic missile warhead from warhammer 40k) which is made from adding white powdered substances to berry juices and fermenting in however you can, it causes literal brain rot. Most recent addition to this list is called Surt (after the norse fire giant destined to ingulf the world) that was invented by accident when Blackwatch (a mercenary company with a hideously complex corporate structure that borders on SCP foundation levels of protocol) sent the recipe for its existing gargle-blaster called Reaver (Brewed up by the poison department as a beverage strong enough to hide the taste of the hideously powerful combat drugs Blackwatch constantly trials on its forces, named after the Firefly characters that also inhabit our system as the virus) to its "Alternative power sources" division, roughly translated as the people who want to build weapons that make magic obsolete. The name for Surt is derived from the fact that the recipie was created on the containment site of an Utsuho expy and related materials contaminated the first batch. When the first bottle was opened the artificial atmosphere ignited and almost lead to a major containment breech. To cut a long story short, there is a drink in our system with the same properties as a thermobaric weapon.
