Inside a shopping mall in an unassuming town in America’s midwest is a dusty arcade. The entrance to the store has a blinking sign reading “Arcade Gothikka.” Cabinets lure teenagers towards them with faded neon lights. “Tetris!” “Ms Pacman!” “Asteroids!” Those games are upfront, high scores occasionally flashing onto their screens. But time has moved on from the eighties and they look long abandoned. However, in the back of the store are more unique experiences. Behind a black curtain are rows of cabinets with unusual names. “The Storm of Icewind Dale!” “Vampires of Barovia!” “War of Machines!” These are only a few of the games on display. And though no one stands in front of them, it is almost as if the games play themselves. Buttons press over and over as joysticks sway in all directions.  Watching over it all is a figure dressed in a sharp tuxedo. Their gender is hard to place. They have long black hair that falls to their waist in ebony waves. Their nails are long and pointed. They have thin, sharp cheekbones and a well groomed goatee surrounds their ruby red lips. They carry a cane that thumps lightly on the ground as they roam the rows of machines, occasionally leaning over to peer into a cabinet’s display. Once in a while they tap a machine with their cane before continuing onward. This is the place where lives are changed forever. Some change for the better, others for the worse. Occasionally some unlucky soul enters the back rooms and never comes out. But almost everyone who stumbles upon this relic of a bygone era agree that the rewards are well worth the risks taken inside. ------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Arcade Gothikka! This is a brand new Westmarches style campaign featuring an arcade where players disappear into the cabinets to live out dramatic fantasies. Player avatars transfer from machine to machine, so you never have to worry about losing gear unless the avatar dies inside a game.  Arcade machines feature vast worlds that aren’t limited to genre. There are sword and sorcery machines focused on the Forgotten Realms, a Nutcracker game where your avatars become toys, a sci-fi / fantasy fusion game similar to Spelljammer, and more!  Right now the server hosts about twenty different users. At this point we are mostly recruiting new players, although new DMs are welcome as well. So take a deep breath and jump into the arcade that will change your life!
