Sounds interesting.
Do you have some screenshots of what to expect?
And the requirement of the bitcoins, are they for playing in a way you could lose them? Can you win more bitcoins?

Some of you may know me as lead designer of A Tale in the Desert http://www.atitd.com. I think that game designers all have far more ideas than they can possibly implement, and over the years I've had my share. When I get an idea, I write it down in a file on my computer, and I periodically peruse the list.
One idea has been on that list for almost 10 years, and it's one that kept grabbing me: What if there were a truly different kind of casino that existed as a persistent world? A world where everything that you see, everything that you can touch, was in fact some sort of game. No traditional slot machines, card games, dice, but an RPG where your character advances by success at games of chance.
Bitcoins rekindled that idea, and since learning of them, I've been brainstorming such a world. In September I started coding Dragon's Tale, an MMORPG set in China, which uses Bitcoins exclusively. The game is built on eGenesis System I, the same client/server that powers A Tale in the Desert.
Earlier this week I had a few Bitcoin veterans in for an early look, and based on their feedback, I think I'm ready to open it up for another preview. I'd like to invite all of you to join me for a play session of Dragon's Tale:
Saturday, October 9, 2:00PM EDT (GMT-0400), for about 90 minutes
You'll need the ATITD client, which can be downloaded from http://www.atitd.com
Native clients are available for Windows, OSX, and Linux. You'll also need a few Bitcoins to participate.
(If you're on a slower connection, you may want to download just the "launcher", which will pull files as needed.)
I'd be glad to answer any questions about Dragon's Tale here, and look forward to meeting everyone!
