The Forum Game Recommendations and Ideas Thread

Go To

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.


FORUM GAME RECS

Our Avatars Are Posting In A Forum Thread: What if your avatar was part of a forum thread? This is the result.

Our avatars have been genderflipped: Same as above, but applied to your avatars.

Corrupt-A-Wish: One person makes a wish, the other grants and corrupts it, then makes a wish etc.

1000 bad reasons to declare war: Self-explanatory.

Bad ideas for forum games v2: Thread topic ideas that are likely to get you banned or shunned.

1000 things we've learned from video games: Just started by me, a humorous look at things video games teach us.


Happy recommending and happy forum gaming!

Regards,
Motor-Runner

Do any threads about what an avatar's dreamworld would be or what they would dream about exist?

Would anyone be interested in a "have you seen/read/played the above work" game?

Just remembered we had a "Never Have I Ever" game, where you post a thing you haven't done and the next poster can only post if they have done so. It was a fun idea but died very early, so I'm considering rebooting it with an additional condition that you can still post if you haven't done the thing if it's been a week or so since the last post (similar to the "find this in your gallery" game), to prevent it from dying if someone mentions something none of the potential players have done. Sounds good?

I once had the idea for a "The Pop-Culture Urban Legends Game" where one troper lists a work and the other comes up with a semi-believable urban legend/rumor surrounding it. Sounds like fun?

Anyone interested in a "Mash up these two media" forum game?

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

More RPG-like games where we try to defeat enemies like the Godmodder games? Just found this, and i wonder if there are other available games with that idea. A disadvantage of RPG-like games and/or Text-based games is that it usually revolves on one specific Troper (the host) for the game to work, so if the host can't continue it for some reason the game will be ignored.

Wanna create a fictional universe of tv shows, movies and more through a parody of the infamous St. Elsewhere ending?

I recommend The Tropey Pestwall Theory which can do just that. Come up with various fictional shows interlinked through characters, cameos, and even weird rap albums, while discussing and adding onto them. I think it’s a fairly new thread that deserves more love.

Do we have a book listing game, similar to the 12-song album game or the 10 movie marathon game?

since we have a few Association games, do we have one that relates to fictional characters specifically?

So I was lurking through the OLD old threads and found this thread for the "Botticelli" guessing game. I've actually never heard of this game before but it sounds fun, so I'm wondering if there'd be any interest in starting this again?

In my travels, I came across two "name game" threads that were locked after unusually short lifespans: The Movie name game thread and The Character Name Game! Would there be any interest in unlocking or starting reboots of these threads?
