'''THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE''' ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY.  Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are ''not'' official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.
'''Beer and pretzels''' is a slang term for casual games.  It is applied to the sort of game that you would play with some friends while drinking beer and eating pretzels -- light on rules, miniatures, preparation, and time, while being on the silly or fun side, and often featuring a good deal of randomness.  There are many synonymous terms featuring other snack foods, like "pizza and beer" or "soda and chips".

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.

The VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene.  These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't!  They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.


In later years, an event known as GRAND FEST was hosting PREMIERES for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC 69, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.

Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition.  Note that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE seem to have been most active between 2012 and 2019.

Beer and pretzels is a slang term for casual games. It is applied to the sort of game that you would play with some friends while drinking beer and eating pretzels -- light on rules, miniatures, preparation, and time, while being on the silly or fun side, and often featuring a good deal of randomness. There are many synonymous terms featuring other snack foods, like "pizza and beer" or "soda and chips".

Examples

  • Most one-page games are good beer-and-pretzels games -- their rules fit on one sheet of paper, so there's not really any room for complexity.

Another example is playing a low point game of 40k with no objectives, eating up most of your time by conversing with your fellow players.
