Question for y’all: let’s say you were in charge of making a new Poker Night at the Inventory game (Texas Hold ‘Em with five characters from various media, specifically four players and the dealer.) who’re you picking for the five characters?

I've thought about this a lot and
Gary Goodspeed (Final Space)
Colt Vahn (Deathloop)
Frank Columbo (Columbo)
Conker the Squirrel (Conker)
the dealer? Caine from The Amazing Digital Circus
Dealer is Goku(he does NOT know the rules of this game and fully takes any statement of "no that's totally allowed it's in the rules" as gospel), Players are grunkle stan, Charlie from smiling friends, springtrap, and Noelle holiday
Spy or engineer from tf2,
Rhys from Tales from the borderlands (with Vaughn as peanut gallery (ala sam and max in 2)
Ripley from Alien
Sam Stone from Serious Sam
Dealer is Olivier from the trails series (only position they let him near )
This is gaining traction again, so imma promote my wife @msnightmare24.bsky.social and my sister @beckyhop13.bsky.social, who do amazing work and yall should commission them!
While this is popular, I'm gonna use this to do some good. Some close friends of mine are in need of financial help, so if you liked this and have some cash to spare please consider helping out @theherooftomorrow.bsky.social @gomer21xx.bsky.social @shorah.bsky.social @calamitycarl.com
i know atleast 3 out of 5 for this in my mind:
- russell from half life alyx
- one of the characters from smiling friends, probably charlie
- announcer would be mission control and dealer would be bosco, both from from deep rock galactic
Aleena the doomed cleric or Bargle the magic user (BECMI basic set)
Rom the Space Knight
Nimona, goofy shapeshifter
Vraska, Golgari Queen
as dealer - Ambush Bug
Spy/Sniper (TF2)
Sam/Max (Sam and Max)
Game Grumps (Danny/Arin)
Reagan/Brett (Inside Job)
Ellis/Coach (L4D2)
Deadpool (Marvel)
Bring Back the older characters too if need be let there be more interactions please,
Oh and Glados can be dealer again or rick n Morty's garage ai I guess?
Upon some deliberation:
>Korsica from Hi Fi Rush
>Kratos from God Of War
>Meowth from the Pokémon Anime
>Clark Kent from DC Comics
and as the dealer, The Narrator from Slay The Princess
I love crossovers so I racked my brain for a random assortment of characters who would lead to interesting conversations together. (I only intentionally borrowed Conker from someone else since he would work well with my others imo.) The dealer is Ash Williams because duh.
My personal limit is that if there is ever a genuine sequel, the dealer should ALWAYS be a robot. Poker Night 3 would have A.I. Handsome Jack as the dealer.
Spinoff game where they're all characters who aren't allowed to gamble playing UNO in the Inventory. Art by @dashboylazyhog.bsky.social
Even wrote a bunch of details for this hypothetical game: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46818484/chapters/117927508
"So, glasses guy, how many Gods have you beaten so far?"
"About... 2, I think? Might be more."
"Those are rookie numbers kid, but I'm still impressed."
"Kid? Aren't you around the same age as me?"
"Nah, I'm actually 21, I just came here because playing UNO is funnier."
"Hey, so, blue guy?"
"Sonic."
"Sonic, yeah, is it normal for heroes to deal with psychotic little men having existential crises?"
"No from what i rememberr... i had to stop a time god/demon once"
"Close enough"
Clementine from the telltale series The Walking Dead
Zane from Borderlands 3
Scout from Team fortress 2
Leon from Resident Evil 4
and if we could have a dealer, I would love for it to be Moxie from Borderlands
Chars/Cameos:
Bojack: Todd, Mr. Peanutbutter
Randal: Dante, Jay (Bob optional, but Silent)
Ashe: Cassidy, Bob
Casey: Michelangelo, April

I considered having Pintsize's small body from QuestionableContent, and Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD (instead of Randal or Casey.) I've made the right choice here.
