A D&D gaming group in Springport, America, faced either jail time or $1,000 in fines plus $1,000 for every day they kept gaming. The problem? A neighbour reported them for gambling.
The Facebook screengrab comes from one of the gamers in Cris Sidhe’s group. In a Google+ post Sidhe admitted that the gamers did joke about Nerd Poker but that certainly wasn’t what was going on.
Cris is a Teamster and already had a lawyer ready. An initial discussion with Code Enforcement and his lawyer didn’t produce much results. Sidhe summed up the communication with “I’ve no clue what you’re talking about and you’ll have to take it up with the judge!”
A later addition to the G+ thread brought good news that a court appearance would be unnecessary. The group ‘got off’ with a cease & desist order for any illegal activities. This can be disregarded if the group wasn’t doing anything wrong in the first place.
