Post subject:  Gambling in the Realms?

So, I started a new character I've been considering for awhile. I've run into a slight snag in my research though... So I thought I would ask here, figuring there are probably a lot of people more knowledgeable then myself.

I'm looking for games native to Forgotten Realms. Right now I'm using the gambler job to play dice, but I thought having more options would be nice, and something native to Faerun would be interesting. Thus far I've found a few chess variants, and mentions of a couple drow games... But entering 'game' and anything related to Forgotten Realms into Google is an exercise in futility for my actual goal. I need better search terms. Any ideas?

My other avenue is to look up some other simple dice games, or make some up. I also intend to put a request in to see if there is any possible way to create a set of cards usable IG. I used to run a weekly poker game on a MUD back in the day and it was great fun. I have no idea if this is even possible within NWN though.

Check out forgotten realms handbook 3.0, if I recall right there are a few mentions in there.

Take a look there, it has some dice games, usually played in taverns and the like.

Not anymore! :P

But just about anything is good to go, I think. The Cordor Guard Barracks had a pool table and a dart board!
