I'd say whoever suggested Joker had the better idea.
At any rate, given that the sales probably didn't blow anyone's minds, I'd say the chances of getting characters from big publishers other than Valve are iffy at best. Hell, at this point I'll be pleasantly surprised if we get a sequel/DLC at all.
Thanks to my brother, I finally was able to acquire this game! I haven't had the chance to dabble too much into it, but so far I am liking the pacing and humor. Unfortunatly, I'm fearing that prospects for DLC for this game is rather slim... but I do think that you guys are all forgetting one high potential possibility for awesomeness:
DLC won't happen because it would involve bringing everyone back to record new lines and probably also renegotiating the contracts for all parties involved (unless that was planned out ahead of time).

What would DLC consist of in a poker game anyways? New card games you can play like Blackjack or, maybe if they really want a swing with the lawyers, Magic: The Gathering? That is both hilarious and highly unlikely.
I don't think a 5 dollar game like this warrants it. It's just a simple, fun little poker game that might (also highly unlikely) have a sequel. But that will be some other kind of gamey game that isn't poker.

Well, Telltale did say they were hoping to have an entire series of "Inventory" games, so it sounds like they're willing to put in the money if the sales are there.

Yeah, entirely new games, though.
Of course, at $5 a pop, it's cheaper than most DLC anyway.

There's a sound file in Poker for Murder at the Inventory, which I imagine would be a point and clicker.

@vgreminders - Don't miss out on timed events in gaming! @gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
I had been eying this game for a while. I'm a pretty big poker player, but I tend to stay away from poker games that put you against an AI (especially exclusively), even if it did mean some TF2 items. Then the combination of the Steam sale and the treasure hunt objective put me over the edge. So far it's about what I expected: decent poker game, highly entertaining characters, but at the very least worth the sale price for some laughs.
Then I started thinking of my dream poker table for this game. What can I say, I was bored at work today. I tried to think of characters that would be possible based on licensing (Telltale, Valve, etc) instead of having just any character. Here's what I cam up with:
Gabe from PA: Tycho is good in the current one because it's a different funny personality than the other players, but I think you have so many more options with Gabe.
GLaDOS from Portal: This doesn't need much explaining. The dry humor and threats on the player's life would be priceless.
Heavy from TF2: I think they nailed this one. TF2 humor fits right into a game like this, and the heavy is the best character they could get to fit into this kind of game. Scout would be a close second though.
Ellis from LFD2: Nick would fit well too, but I think you'd funnier situations with Ellis.
Gabe would indeed be great for a game like this. He is competitive, highly animated, likes to talk shit, is socially awkward, humorous, erratic, egotistical, and has plenty of other qualities that would make him a fine addition.
But I think the absolute perfect character for a game like this would be Div. A surly, vulgar, outdated piece of equipment that is known for drinking and dedicating his time to seeking out other vices. As you play, he could get progressively drunk and outrageous. Break a bottle over the table and threaten someone one minute and then tell everyone one else that he loves them the next. Maybe insist on everyone quitting poker so they could go to a strip club or get a hooker instead. Belittle everyone else at the table constantly and question the manhood of any person who folds. Honestly, I think it would be an outright crime to leave someone like Div out of a game like this indefinitely. Hell, I would have the game already if he were one of the characters.

I can get behind this, but only if he is voiced by Jon Lovitz and his secret item is the Fruit Fucker.
Game won't even start for me. Tried verifying the cache and it came back clean. Just attempting a reinstall now and hopefully that'll fix the problem it doesn't want to tell me about. (Seriously, no dialog boxes with warning or anything. Just nothing)
Nope. Still nothing. I get the dialog box from Steam saying its opening the game and then nothing. Its like I never selected the 'play' option.
Nobody else is having this issue?
I can get it working on my Win7 i5 notebook with Intel HD chipset.
WinXP, dualcore intel 3.0ghz, 8800 nvidia. it will never start.

Div would indeed be a wonderful PA character to include. Hell, maybe for future editions the table could be expanded to hold a full 10-person game. You could also have a character selection screen to pick the size of the game and who you play against.

Same here. Bought the game when it was on special. Installed it, I get the TTG splash screen then the game crashes back to desktop. reinstalling it didn't fix the issue.
This is the first game on steam I buy that I can't even run...

Same characters of course. Max has to buy in every time.

I dont want to see Heavy Dingus, or any of the other players Dingus for that matter
Jon Lovitz would be interesting. I want to say Denis Leary or someone with a deep gravely voice myself.
I agree with Leary more than Lovtiz. Lovitz is awesome, but his voice just won't fit Div. But instead of Leary I would prefer Will Arnett. Very grave with sarcastic undertones. Just how I imagine Div.

This is only tangentially related, but it looks like Ryan Davis at Giant Bomb was inspired by Poker Night at the Inventory and decided to do a Quick Look Throwback on Multimedia Celebrity Poker from 1995:

Also why not Mordin or Joker or Wrex
Wrex it is.

instead pray for another card game in the series.
Then again I'm an avid Rock Band player.

It's an amusing watch, complete with running Windows 3.11 and a...moment....with Jonathan Frakes a little after the 27 minute mark.
