The Forum Game Recommendations and Ideas Thread

Sticky, please?

New here? Or a regular poster here who is searching for forum games that are actually good? Perhaps looking for new ones that show some promise but can't find any? Then this is the place to be.

The purpose of this thread is for troper forum gamers to recommend forum games to other posters that ask (like a sub-forum library of some sort), or to recommend your latest created forum game.

When posting recommendations, it is preferable that you link the name of the forum game to its thread, along with a description of what the forum game is about.

Forum game rules still apply here.

Is there anyone who knows Wii Party enough to be a game master for something like that?

Might make something like "Explain the above avatar" where people have to try and explain what they think the context of the avatar is from the avatar alone. Sound fun? Sound doable?

Just make sure the title is clearly separate from the "Attempt to explain the above avatar" game (which is at least SUPPOSED to be making up an answer rather than actually saying what it is)

Is there a thread that's like "What would be the knockoff Halloween costume name of the above avatar"?

I've created this thread where we discuss what media would be suitable to be presented in class: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16464722600A38506600&page=1#2

So far, I'm the only troper that's posted there, does this spark anyone's interest?

Does anyone think that it would be worth reviving Choose a TROPER the Above CHARACTER Will Meet? The most recent post predates me joining the site, but it seems like it has the potential to be funny.

I used to like that thread, but I kinda stopped posting there because I'm not very confident when it comes to roleplaying as characters that aren't my own. But I'll see if I can start posting there again.

Just discovered this site that auto-generates art based on keywords. I think it could make a fun game, but I'm not sure if it should be a "guess the keyword" game, or a "give the next poster keywords and see what they generate" game.

Have an idea, want to pitch it before making a thread, it would be called the "Avatar TCG Set", and the game would be providing an Avatar (with a name) for the next troper to provide card-game stats for, like card rarity and any moves or effects it may have.

Same here. I assume you would be able to pick whichever card game series you want? So a poster might stat up an avatar in the style of Magic: The Gathering, while the next does it like Pokémon, and so on.

Ah, nevermind. Just saw it's already created.
