Hi-Ho Fellow Members of WoD,
So, while writing up some good old posts for the site, I started to remember an old idea I had for the old WoD. And needing to participate in more open threads with my character, and my love of Kaiju cinema and reading the recent Monster’s Unleashed Marvel event, I thought that there would be a good number of members on site who’d want to fight some giant monsters. But then the more I thought about it, the more I realized why limit it to a single thread. Why make it a small scale side-story a few characters get involved in, when the whole point of these Kaiju stories is to go all-out?
Thus, I suggest a mini-event/saga called MonStars Attack! I’d hope it’d start out mid-June, It’d be hosted on Earth, because I feel that’s where most of the player base is (and, honestly, because that’s where my character Xanadu resides).
So far, that’s all I have. I don’t know who the aliens are. Are they the creation of an evil scientist (maybe we can tie them to a pre-existing faction)? Or are they invaders from another planet/dimension (if so I have an idea on that as well)? There are plenty of ways we can explain the sudden wave of monsters and their intentions. My main concern is how many monsters should there be. Should it be an endless swarm of nameless creatures? Or could we do it so certain players (admins) get to create their own monsters for the event? I’d personally prefer the latter because I’d think that’d lead to better results story-wise, along with being able to give every creature a definite amount of PL and force more players to collaborate to take them down.
The Kaiju themselves would be in mass number, and be all NPCs. Maybe there could be one thread where players have to try to stop them from getting to a city, and another with those in the city doing damage control and fighting those that breakthrough? There are a lot of big scale ways we could set this up.
So, I leave it open to others on the site now. What do you all think of this concept? Anyone interested and has ideas, or is there a strong opposition to such an event being hosted or objections to any of the ideas mentioned? I honestly think it could be a fun little thing for the site, so I hope this gets the ball potentially rolling.
