Vote for your top three new locations on Chandler Ave

There sure are a lot of choices on this poll! I do like everyone's thoughts on the rival PI. That would also provide a good opportunity to cast Bruce Campbell! I imagine they'll probably choose from the Top 10, but it's a nice way to make people feel involved.

For fun without thinking about it at first glance

1. Jazz Club
2. Bowling Alley (game within game)
3. Big Finish Office

Or the Arcade with lots of Access Games within the game!
This is how we Kick It! GO BIG (Finish) or Go Home!

I liked the bowling alley and arcade options to, as I imagined you could probably play some old games, like they did in Overseer with Mean Streets.

I like the idea of another street stand, might lead to new and interesting character opportunities and for story/gameplay. Word on the street kinda connection now that Chealsee may not be there.

Nope no Chelsea. Chelsee on the other hand... :lol: Just kidding, just got that funny memory stuck in my head of Chris and Aaron yelling in chat :D
Chris & Aaron: YES! It's CHELSEEEEEEEEEE! No A's!
Anyway from the end of Overseer and the Radio Theater I'm guessing Chelsee may not be present at the start, I expect her newsstand to be empty :( Who knows about the rest of the game. Aaron will keep that secret with him until the day he... releases the next game! :mrgreen:

Hey Hank I mentioned your idea on Big Finish Facebook (with credit) and they liked the comment :lol:

It is absolutely impossible to pick 3 favourites from this new list! Damnit!

Yeah I agree. I eventually picked 3 but even now I want to change my mind :( But I figured if I didn't just pick something now I'd end up being distracted by it all week :lol:

Just means we definitely need more Tex games in future to implement more of these great ideas!

It would sure be nice if they could use that stretch goal money to put a few more business on Chandler Ave instead of only 3. There were so many good ideas! Seems a shame to leave so many out!

I think we have several of those folks here! Cub can do the video version, Rockefeller can do the 3D version, Sai can do the animated version, and Joilet Jane can animate it all. :D

Or victory can be canned and based on some kind of puzzle. Figuring out how to beat a fixed game, and then getting banned from the Casino, perhaps.

But really, if they put a Casino in it, I want the return of Big Dick Castro or I'll be very disappointed.

Yeah beating a stacked Casino would have adventure game elements. Do you think Tex will make shaved dice?

It would be cool to have Dick come back, but the creators would have to take into account that he may hate Tex so much that he wouldn't let him live let alone play a casino game.
We voted for:

Bob's Wonder Emporium: who knows what you'd find in there?
The Antique Store: competition for Rook; could stir up all kinds of stuff
The MiniMart: some place for Tex to get a bite to eat and interact with all kinds of new characters.
So I went for Rival PI, Mutant Mart and the trashy bar, or whatever it was called. First one brings tons of possibilities game-wise, and the other two should bring ample gossips.

I'd like to see a Casino and Jazz Club, but they would make more sense outside of Chandler. Unless, as someone else suggested, they were included in a revamped Golden Gate Hotel.
