It would be easier to stick to normal chess rules and NOT make this the cosplay version of Wizard's Chess. ^^

If you can get the okay Ska_kitti, I think you'll find many people willing to help you come up with the incidentals. I certainly would be willing to make some chess squares and participate however I can. ^^

IF you want i could be a one of the main player to read the moves out. I know the rules of the game.

Oh hey! Awesome, I didn't realize there was discussion about cosplay chess on these boards - I'm usually at cosplay.com so was going to start my own thread over there to see if there were interests xD;
That being said, yay!  The idea has already been tossed around by you guys and that makes me happy ~ especially since I was like 'oh crap, I have no idea how to plan these types of things' and just help out in various ways and play.  Oh, and supply the board.  I have a gigantic board that my friend and I made for such a cause [cosplay chess] and would be more than happy to haul it up if this gets underway [under the conditions of being able to play, of course xD;]

So, um yeah. That would solve that issue for you guys.  Here's a picture of the board : http://www.chirigami.net/misc/finished-01.jpg
It has survived Anime Expo, will be cleaned soon and then used at ALA.  I do believe the squares are like 2.5 or 3 feet each.  So its either like 20-24 feet long give or take and something like that. yeeeeah.

Hope to see more with this
... I'll try to remember to check back over here yonder e.e;

There've been a lot of great opinions about the cosplay Chess, and I look forward to how that turns out. However, noticing the title, I have one quip about the 'other' thing:

In regards to the Dating show, I smell trouble. Anything that even slightly suggests romance, even in a game format, ESPECIALLY at a 'geek' convention (I use that term in the best possible way), runs the risk of either offense or someone's emotions being harmed. The chance of someone taking a contestant's choice personally could be very high, and at the very best would drop their self-esteem a tad.

Good idea, but a bit too risky. Mayhaps the Chess idea will flourish better?

Dating game like "Hi I'm Bob you wanna date?"  or dating game like "Hi I'm Sasuke wanna date?"  cause real life date...bad idea.  but pretend with characters could be hillarious.  just like make sure you got ans many guys and girls so no one gets left out.  no real date, just like a compatablilty test, see if characters from the same show'd wind up together.  don't know just an idea.

Friggin' awesome board!  I feel like the Cosplay Chess is so much more closer to becoming a reality!

Something like the Dating Game on tv? With 3 guys (or girls) on one side of a curtain and the datee on the other to ask questions of each one?  Omigosh, that sounds like a great masquerade skit!

both seem like a fun idea. It would be great for both to happen for fanime 08.
