I don't want to distract from this idea, because it's a good one, but something similar that I was thinking about (that would probably be easier and cheaper) is to do Tiki Central Trading Cards. Each card would have a picture on the front and then vital stats on the back- name, location, your favorite drink, etc., and "special powers/skills" like carving, mixology, painting, ceramics, etc. I was even getting really lame and thinking it could be an RPG like Magic: The Gathering. "My Basement Kahuna has a +5 carving modifier that resists your Poly Pop +2 ceramic mug fragment attack." and so on. But then I thought that might be considered lame by...well...everyone.

But...we could have cards for both people and places: Mai Kai, home bars, apartment buildings, etc. Plus: you have to make some of them really rare so people trade for them or have to hunt them down at events. Or eBay! har. You know, there would be a 100 Tiki Ti cards, but only five Hanford Lemoore cards, and of course, those would just have a big question mark instead of a picture.

I'd be happy to take the lead on this project if people are into it. We could sell them in five packs and give the profits to Hanford to offset costs.

Thoughts?
