frustratedpilotAs part of a package deal, long ago, I got a pair of starter packs for the then-passe Doomtrooper collectable card game. Last night, I was looking through them and wondering what I could possibly do with them.
There is a restaurant chain in Florida called "Pit Boss", which has pretty darned good BBQ. One thing they did as decor was to set playing cards and poker chips in the tabletops and seal them over with a thick, smooth layer of transparent polyurethane resin.
So what if I did something similar with wall panels for a game room/"man cave"? Set up a theme of multiple "players", cards in hand (paper cutout palms) around a "table". If I could afford it, I'd somehow have a miniposter showing an imagined view of what the result of the play is. Hey, an action scene from a game magazine/module would likely work...all it needs to be is an impression, not an exact match.
I can do this with three "properties" based on what I've got on hand--the aforementioned Doomtrooper, Magic The Gathering and Gundam War: Gundam Wing.
But then I'd need a place with a game room. And wood paneling and loads of poly resin.
Idea man can't help having ideas. The stars can't shut up.
