Coming Soon: The Starlight Arcade 2

So, I know I posted the idea before in the Guest-ST forum without much description but, this idea would actually work much better as a sidegame. WanWic2's -El Samedi- may have been forced to close down The Starlight Arcade as the economy spiraled down but everyone's favorite arcade is back and packed with the very best!

Starlight Arcade 2 is essentially just the name of the series. How it'd actually work is players will get to select which 'arcade game' they'd like to play. Each game is a one-shot scene with it's own original characters, plot and, focus on different WoD Mechanics. Players will not only be playing to beat the game but also score the highest score. Mechanics aren't 100% worked out yet but the first couple of games should be ready by the time WanWic3 rolls around. I'm also trying to my best to have each little game tie into previous incarnations of Wanton Wicked and the characters involved. Here's a couple of small previews!

Image
Genre: Beat'm up
Setting: WanWic 1 Boston
Synopsis: -Scandalous- Brian Murphy may have quietly left the city of Boston but, he left plenty of enemies behind who still had a mind to extract a measure of vengeance against him. With Murph gone, they have taken to targeting those they could, his friends. Playing as the hardcore Selkies brothers, Nick & Zack, you'll wage war against drug dealers, neo-nazis, Boston PD and, even members of the local Consilium to rid the streets of scum once and for all in Boston.

Image
Genre: Rail Shooter
Setting: WanWic 2 Detroit
Synopsis: The Frenchman, Gilles Louimus IV, thought he had forged an iron clad alliance between Detroit's most powerful criminal bodies and that he would be honored for his accomplishment but, it simply wasn't meant to be. At 3:00am, a man's cell phone rang and on the other end of the line: "The Frenchman has been kidnapped by The Russians. He's being held in St. Petersburg. You know what to do." As Jacob Bosley, an Italian mafia bodyguard, you'll be shooting your way through the Underworld of Detroit to recover Frenchy from the enemy and kill anyone that stands in your way.


PS: If you're a player that has any ideas for a one-shot arcade game style scene that you'd like to run as part of this series, please feel free to pitch-in and be a part of this. The more, the better.

Queenie's Defense!

Setting, Wanwic 2, Detroit

Zombie-themed game of some sort, either shotgun hold-them-back or a House of the Dead type. Expect government conspiracy themes.

That sounds like it'd be damn sweet! :D


Also...

Development update: Those Damn Selkies is mostly complete as far as mechanics go. I'll be looking to playtest them to see whether or not they're well enough. Dialogue and descriptions will follow. Basic skeleton of Bosley's mechanics still in the works but general plot outline complete. Scoring system still in the works.
