[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 9642181, member: 25818"] Wow, I completely forgot about the [B]eating contest[/B]. Another mainstay of carnivals. I'll have to think what they're eating. Of course, Faeries and food have implications/complications, so I'm thinking of making it pomegranates, or pomegranate pie; pomegranate seeds are what Persephone ate that meant she was stuck in the underworld, and it's the classic mythology inspiration for the "eating faerie food" tales. And there should probably be a number of cup-and-balls guys. Ooh, or maybe instead, it's a "[B]Find the Gem[/B]" guy, who has three cards from a [I]deck of many things[/I] (Gem, Fool, and Death), and you have to watch his hands as he moves them around face-down. Of course, they're either reproductions or real cards without the rest of the deck; without the rest of the deck there the cards don't actually do anything. But it should be disconcerting to a seasoned D&D player to see the cards there, especially if they turn over Death. [/QUOTE]
