When the geek side of the brain goes too far...
Talking to The Law, I remembered a truly uber-geeky idea I had last year that never went anywhere. For good or for bad, this idea will truly show just how stupidly geeky I can be...
The idea was quite simple, and it can be summed up in just a few words: Dungeons & Dragons Poker night. Some of you reading are probably already catching on. The gist is it would be a Poker night, but every participant would be someone from my D&D group. They'd be playing the role of their character at a Poker table. Gambling would be for the player character's wealth, not real money.
So we'd sit around the table gambling away pretend gold pieces. I, as the DM, would either take the role of a local NPC personality or perhaps a high roller with a few hundred gp to gamble away. Unless I had an unusual lucky streak, chances are I'd be putting some gold into the characters' coffers.
Uber-geeky? Hell, yeah. Potentially fun? Yes, I think so. Did I ever do anything about it? Nope.
