The Forum Game Recommendations and Ideas Thread

I made a game that asks “If this song was a boss theme, what would the Boss Battle be like?”

Idea: Bad Two-Sentence Horror. Inspired by @bad2sentence, which was itself inspired by r/TwoSentenceHorror. First poster makes the first sentence of a story, the second poster gives it a hilariously non-scary conclusion, and the cycle repeats. Anyone up for it?

Could be fun.

Sounds fun!

Could be fun.

Bringing attention to Guess the Character/Person/Object. I think its got lots of potential and could use some more players.

Two of my own threads have been dead for a while, looking for new users to participate in them.

Angels and Demons

The Final Destination Game

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but do we already have "Cast the above troper's avatar gallery as the Seven Heavenly Virtues"?

Yeah I recall seeing that one before. I don't know where it is rn to give you the link for it though.

Idea: The Tangent game, where the point is that everyone needs to try and find a way to change the discussion topic in each post while relating it to the previous post. For example if I type about the food I had for dinner, someone else can switch the topic to the cultural origins of that dish, and then someone else can post a fact about the country in question, and then about a fact related to that fact, etc. It sounds complicated but I think it could be fun... if anyone has any idea what I'm even saying

Inspired by, of course, how the Observations thread goes on tangents constantly.

As a participant in the derail, I like!

So in other words, "Tvtropes writes a tangent?"

...Not really? At least, since I don't really know what that means I have to say no?

Just a game where the challenge is to simultaneously be relevant to the above post while also switching the topic.

Guess the Trope is a pretty neat guessing game where you well, guess the trope!

Gonna go out on a whim with this suggestion, but I've seen threads of people playing Werewolf/Mafia on here from a few years ago, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a forum version of Dangan Werewolf based on the Tabletop Sim version found here with a how to play video here

Essentially it's just normal Werewolf with the addition of item cards and special character abilities. I've been a GM for text versions of it before, so I have experience. I'm just curious if anyone would be interested, or if they think it's a good idea in the first place.

So an idea for a potentially new forum game just popped up in my head called "Assign a Boss Theme to the Above Avatar", where users post music they deem as appropriate boss themes to the above user's avatar. Pretty self-explanatory and different from the current Boss Theme Game, but I don't know if such a game already exists.

I dont believe so

Alright, I'll go ahead and create the Above Avatar Boss Theme Game under the assumption it hasn't been made yet. If by chance that it does already exist, then the mods are free to lock my thread and necro that one instead.

In the wake of The Tetris Effect cleanup, I had this idea about a forum game in which people describe a game as if it had that effect on them. They need to provide what would they see, what patterns can you think about that correlate to certain things in real life? I think it would be very interesting to see different people express this.

Sounds interesting.

Also, noting here that I changed the thread's title to include game ideas because have been using this thread more for forum game pitches than forum game recs.

Anyone down for “assign a gender-inverted voide actor to the above avatar”?

I'd wouldn't mind, be interesting to play.

Is it okay if I make an "Ask Zudak" reboot called Ask the Troper where a "host" gets a "guest" who will answer multiple questions made by the players, and after 24 hrs, the host (or maybe the players, the idea is still being planned) picks their favorite questions and answers?

Or

The host could get asked questions by the players about a topic, and after 24 hrs the host picks their favorite questions which they will answer(the answer will be a joke like the YIAY thread). After that, a new host is chosen and they pick a topic, and after that the cycle repeats.

Kind of like a reverse YIAY.

I like that idea.

On the subject of YIAY, one (bad) idea I've had for a while is a game that works under similar rules, only players write captions for images rather than responding to text-based prompts.
