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.

Is there a forum game for typing in your device’s predictive text suggestions or something like that?

Genre bender! how it works is person A thinks of a work and person B thinks of a genre and person C has to come up with the result of this abomination then we start the cycle over again

Do you wanna wake up only to learn there will be a zombie apocalypse tomorrow? Or maybe that the world will be sucked into an alternate universe? Do you also wanna at least have time to do something before it happens?

Then this forum game is for you!

Does anyone feel like there's problems with either of the ISOT forum games? There's been a few attempts to bump them and help them regain footing, but they seem to just stay dead.

[down] These and these. They're both basically games where you can make posts that build upon a fictional universe year by year (you can also add events to a preexisting year if you wanna). Pretty sure they just stopped being active no matter what after a certain point.

Do we have guessing games for other media, or is it just mythology and the company ones?

[up] There is one for books, one for video games (not VG music, but games in general) and one for Anime. There is also a Guess the Character/Person/Object, which allow pretty much every character (even real people and object) to be played

That's probably fine, and if whoever was hosting the round hasn't posted in a while it's probably ok to start a new one

[1] I initially thought the problem was there being too much information to memorize (especially with the whole fountain of youth thing making things stay forever,) but after I made a second game to try and fix that that didn't help either.

[up] That seems like it would die out pretty quickly if someone names an obscure work that no other tropers have heard of.

Do we still need a Last Letter Palworld Pal Game as juxtaposition to the Last Letter Pokémon Game? Seems like the game is still trickling out new Pals even though it's not trending as much as it used to.

You know how cathartic the brutal death of a Complete Monster is? What if there was a forum game based all around that? Say hello to…

The CM Massacre

This forum game was inspired by this page on the Villains Fanon Wiki.

"Big" Jack Horner was once a Complete Monster. However, once it was revealed that he's Played for Laughs too often and the consequences of his wish for all magic in the world are not elaborated upon, he was cut from the CM list. Needless to say, he's not happy about this. Seeking revenge on those who wronged him, he changed his name to Mega Jack Horner and started a killing spree, slaughtering as many CMs as he could. He believes that if he can't be a CM, then nobody can.

Help Mega Jack Horner kill as many CMs as possible. Each poster has to describe how Mega Jack Horner killed the CM named by the above poster, before naming another CM for Mega Jack Horner to kill.

Now released.

The Farmboy suggested here about a GET THAT PIZZA! version with avatars, and that sounds like a good idea (frankly, I was already using my avatar in that thread).

Do we have a game where you draw the previous poster's avatar? I've seen that on other websites.

(Edit: Couldn't find that game so I made it)

What about a Moral Event Horizon crossing game?

Title: No Line in Evil

The game starts by naming a villain you have in mind, put down the bad deed that made them cross the MEH, then the player below names another villain that can do much worse and so on.
