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.

I've made a Save the villain thread game
after seeing the Massacre and Rehabilitation threads. This one involves finding the means to save tragic villains just like how Peter would save the villains in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Should we (or did we already have) have somethings like "What is the above poster/avatar most likely to be asked about in "Ask the above poster/avatar a question", inspire by the lastest posts in this thread
?
I think a good forum game would be TIFU from the perspective of fictional characters. For those who may not be aware, TIFU is a subreddit where people share stories of a big/embarrassing mistake that they made, I think it might be fun to do that but from the perspective of fictional characters similar to the AITA in the style of fictional characters. Basically it would go like TIFU by (explain situation) with the work being described potholed. Then the next person can either comment on the situation described and/or provide their own TIFU story. I went ahead and created it

Do we have a Forum game where we give suggestions for which avatar the above troper uses next?
So grab a stick and take a swing! Do the Piñata thing!Would this work? A forum game based on the Uncanny Mr. Incredible meme, where we start with seemingly innocent situations and then get steadily worse, or the opposite where things get steadily better, but with our avatars.

What if it's like Murder, Arson, and Jaywalking but with our Avatars. I think that makes more sense.
How would a "Tropefy This Media - List 10" game go?
For example:
Troper 1:
Troper 2:
Troper 3:
Troper 4:
...and so on?
List length negotiable; 5 is probably enough.

I suppose, by the transitive property, I too must be "Vulcan as a Motherfucker."[1]
So what can you post? A short video, a text, or a whole book or films (which have lots of tropes)?
![]()
I think either a short video (5 min at most, preferably 1-3), an artwork, a comic strip or a page from a book. Anything else is too wide of scope.

What about a Forum game where the challenge is to crate a subpage of a page?
Exeample:
Troper 1:
Let's start this game. Create a Self-Demonstrating Article page for Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe!
Troper 2:
Done (fictionally). The next one have to create a Laconic page for Shangri-La Frontier!
And so on.

Give me books! Give me ALL YOUR BOOKS!!!!!
It would be immediately obvious if a page does or doesn't have a sub-page by the blue or red link.
For example:
- Laconic.Did Not Do The Bloody Research exists
- PlayingWith.Did Not Do The Bloody Research doesn't exist (at the time of writing)
Has anyone ever made a forum game where you rate the above tropers gallery out of 10?
So grab a stick and take a swing! Do the Piñata thing!
I'm pretty sure you've made a Top 10 avatars from the above gallery before but not that. I looked up but no results came up so you can create one

Made a Tom and Jerry Chase game.
