Hey everyone! I wanted to talk about the various kinds of gambling people have done ICly and how they went about it. Me and a few others are opening gambling halls in the coming map and I've a few games I Found and some I invented but I wanted to collect a census of players who have done the same.Heres a few I know of-

- Chess
- Dice
- "Flint"
- Dropper roulette

I'd love to make a good long list but MC has quite a few limitations making gaming difficult.

I've played Chess ICly before, played a online website with the other person while we RP'd, for immersion.

Played dice before! We used a dice roller online and then played swindlestones ic!
How did you show the dice? I've been wanting to introduce pirate's Liars dice but you can't hide your rolls (than show them) as is nessary.

Nope, it was more recent, back in December I think.

We did a dice roller online, two separate things so no one can see what we rolled, then when it was time to reveal what we had in our hands we just emoted it
ex: *She lifted her hand away from the table revealing a 4, 3, 2, 3, and a 3*

Seems a good way to do things. Hopefully players rant cheating OOCly… I sapose you could post Screen caps if the need arose

We should make poker a thing. Several centuries before its original inception.
I've been reading a lot about card games in the 1500s. There were early versions we could get by. (Also considering the Ace of spades didn't exist tell much later but it's Jax's symbol I assume there is a level of suspension of disbelief.)

So- I made cards some time ago in the sorrows (With a few complaints. A massive floating card has been known to hurt immersion.)


Im not sure if I should give this another shot and finish it- or how… or where…

But Im curious if anyone is interested in helping me finish this project.

EDIT: In theory one could just as easily rename stacks of paper to a similar effect.But it loses a bit of cool factor...

I think I might not be understanding, but what purpose would giant floating cards serve? If it's just because you want to build them, you could probably use the borders of the creative map. But I don't think the Sorrows map would be quite right for doing them again, imo.

The map makes IG playing cards for RP.

Creative dosnt work becuase inventorys don't transfer. And I don't want to use any staff worlds becuase I am not an aboose
