Robert Asprin does not provide the full rules for Dragon Poker, and it is used mainly to parody professional gambling.

Professional gambling? Since when do professionals use complicated rules? Most professional gamblers play extremely simple games (simple to learn, impossible to master). - furrykef (Talk at me) 13:39, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Credits

I removed this from the article to here:

First and foremost, this page would not exist without the inspiration of Robert Asprin and his MYTH series of novels, especially Little Myth Marker and M.Y.T.H. Inc. In Action.

My main source of commentary and feedback is the _alt.fan.asprin_ newsgroup.

James A Whitney has helped me greatly, both through email and the newsgroup: He fixed my initial probability miscalculations, and pointed out a more elegant version to my initial corps-a-corps proposal. (The odds values are courtesy of James, too. :)

Also of help to me in this endeavor is the (Unofficial) _Nitpicker's Guide_ to Robert Asprin's MYTH Series. From this I got more info, and was where I came up with the original idea for the corps-a-corps.
