Games PC's Play

[Zen]

I have a few 'in-between' adventure sessions coming up in my campaign, and I'm looking for some ideas on how to entertain my players without putting their PC's lives at risk (there's been a lot of that lately-- they need a break). They are going to be in Sigil for a at least one session and then a small isolated Keep on the Borderlands for another session or two.

I was thinking to throw some gambling in, both in the form of dice or card games, along with some carnival-style competitions and so on. I'd like to avoid playing a real dice game, or just saying the guy wth thigher movement race wins the foot race. Can anyone suggest some rules sources for such in-game games?

Thanks in advance,

--Z

You can set up a dartboard or knife throwing game pretty easily. That would let them still roll attacks & feel like it's a fight without them feeling like they are in danger.

You need Tournaments, Fairs and Taverns:

Great product with lots of games for your PCs to play. You can have them attend and even participate in a tourney, or just pick out a few bar games.

My group has been enjoying Three Dragon Ante lately. There are rules included for using it in a D&D game, though I haven't really looked into them yet.
