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.

If somebody's interested. Though I'm not sure if something like DTG belongs here or in Role Playing.

Just made a game where we take a gripping drama and slowly turn it Denser and Wackier. Check it out!

I make forum games more than anyone else. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Do we have a game where we post an avatar from our gallery that starts with the same letter the previous avatar ends with?

Are we going to have Last Letter Pokémon Game but for Palworld's Pals? It's gotten to the point Palworld's becoming popular as the Pokémon franchise itself so might as well.

Hi everyone, new troper here and this my first post on this discussion.

This is my recommendation for a forum game. I hereby ask you to play the game on this thread since I want to know if are they here some other Ice Age fans beside me, and I don't want this thread to only have 16 posts.

Is there a forum game like this but with yourself instead of the above avatar?

A week ago, I created a Trope Dissection Thread as the inverse to the Trope Mashup Thread. Basically, you have to come up with your own stories and allow the next troper to type up the tropes that story consists of. Would anyone like to try?

There's a forum game based on Elimination Game mk. II called the Character Uplift Game. It been inactive for a few months and no rounds have ever started. It's sounds like a really good game and a less toxic version of EG, but I'm wondering if I should start a round in that thread, or should start clean and do a round in a new thread I could create.

I'm toying with the idea of something like a "TVT Regional Pokedex" game or something. Basically someone makes up a pokemon name and the next person makes that mon's bio (mostly just like their typing and a short description, though someone could do more if they wanted to). Sound interesting? Is there anything too similar?

I am considering making a guessing game for historical characters, but I think it would be too much.
