According to Chris Wyatt, Playgor Cardquest isn't a member of the Gamer Geeks in the BotBots cartoon, but is instead a member of a squad of BotBots from a tabletop gaming store. Could you tell us more about Playgor's squad and its other members?
Dear Tabletop Talker,
Playgor Cardquest's fellow BotBots who also came to life in the board game store are:
Player the Handbook, a mischievous sort who'll push the rules to their limits to gain an advantage.
Monster Manuel, a hefty tome who enjoys pretending to be all kinds of fantasy creatures.
Snuzzlebeard, a plush wizard whose soft demeanor hides the fact that he's a rigid follower of the rules.
Snippy Clippy, a fastidious set of modeling sprue clippers, whose perfectionism could cut other bots to the quick.
Unit Mover, the squad's self-proclaimed ruler.
Dicebird, who believes in following the spirit of the rules over the letter. Curiously, her ursine/avian hybrid robot form resembles another universe's beast warrior, and her alternate form resembles the AllSpark—though I'm struggling to place the Cybertronian dialect of the symbols carved into its faces.
After the Goldrush Games, they were joined by D.M. Gold, who's constantly coming up with new games and challenges for everyone to join in with.
The squad has gone through several editions—calling themselves the Fantasy Force, the Dice Division, the Rules Lawyers—but they increasingly join the Gamer Geeks in gatherings, ever since the video game store diversified into general nerd-oriented products, such as tabletop games, action figures, and novelty bobbleheads of popular characters.
