Dungeons & Dragons Park

From what I've heard, D&D is a pretty good game. Thing is, I don't find it appealing sitting around playing it. What about the game, theme-park style?

You pay (or use a membership card if you have one), go in, dress up as a character of choice, if you're with a group you stay with them, or if you're on your own you go with a group that's a person short. The idea is is that you wander around, and at designated points robotic animal-things will jump out at you and you'll have to fight them. But their weak parts will light up and you have to hit them at those spots as they appear. Of course, depending on how hard you hit, how fast you defeat it and the course, you'll gain experience points, giving you higher levels (which decrease if you don't turn up for a long while), better weapons etc.

There will be parts where all you have to do is climb up certain parts, press buttons in order, etc, so it'll pretty much be a real-life RPG.

       I like the idea. I am surprised no one has made a d&d park, especially in Vegas (a casino with that theme throughout -- go to your room or call it a Lair, and hot sleezy armor-clad bar girls). + from me

       I think that there is not much intersection between the set of those who love D&D and the set of those who love physically strenuous sports.

       All of the physical people, being warriors, of course, would be destroyed by the nerdy warlocks...   

       Not that I would know...

       Prepare to be smited with my plus one vorpal bun.   

       Somehow I just can't help feeling it's not coincidence that RPG also stands for rocket-propelled grenade. One seems to bring thoughts of the other...

       Good point by [nahte] though. In the absence of properly functioning magic, wizards and the like might be a little puny.   

       Perhaps experience could be given in the form of rolls of tickets to be exchanged for things of value.

       So, what do we do with the pile of pentacostal protestors prosetylizing at the primary portal?   

       I could see this combined with a laser tag facility somehow. Perhaps laser tag wizardry fights?

       I have actually done this. About 15years ago in our local ww2 army tunnels and relics. Some mob put on a D&D night. I was part of a party who wandered with swords and the like through the dark tunnels and was confronted by people incostume as orcs etc.......

       So, it's a cosplay park?   

       Sure, why not?

       I get the impression that people who play D&D regularly are allergic to sunlight - sunglasses would have to be provided at the entrance to shield the eyes of the pasty-skinned masses, or maybe the whole thing would be indoors?
Mr Phase, Oct 06 2005
  

       Why did I just get the idea of a Live Action Yugi-oh fight?   

       But I digress...well, either way, the way this is shaping up, it's sounding more like a once-a-year convention than a year-round/seasonal theme park... Am I right in this assumption?
