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,

One person names a franchise and the below person has to come up with a Licensed Game for it. Then that person lists a franchise. Rinse and repeat.

Do we have a Wombo Art game, where we post an AI-generated image of a character and the prompt, and players have to guess the original character that served as the inspiration for the image?

Should there be a “What TV Tropes relationship status match the above avatar” one?

As for recommendations, I'm really getting a lot of enjoyment out of the Fake Trope Example Maker thread. It's fun to see people come up with fictitious works.

The TVTropes ISOT Mapgame is becoming one of my all-time favorite forum games.

The batshit insane Massive Multiplayer Crossover collab worldbuilding is so wonderful and it's fun to see how people can exapnd on it.

We have "Rate the above trope" and "Rate the above YMMV", so would it be a good idea to make a "Rate the above Trivia" thread?

How would a "Guess the Fictional Location" game sound? Might be a neat twist on the "Guess X Character" games.

Forum Games that involve mixing multiple Tropes together tend to be pretty fun, like The Trope Mashup Thread, Trope combinations, and TV Tropes Plot Game.

How would you feel about a praise game? It's like a reverse elim game, where instead of removing points, they are only added. The first entry to reach 100 points wins.
