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 it's been a while (as in a week+) since the last post, bumping it should be fine even if sandwiching)

Inspired by my post here, would a game where we write hypothetical trope examples for random characters be fun? We could make the entire game about painting every character as a CM, or it could be "think of a character" style where someone pitches a random trope, and you need to try and write an example for that character with that trope, no matter how much Insane Troll Logic is involved.

Viable?

Is there a game where we come up with silly new names for existing tropes?

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Do we have a game like "create a character for the above Red Baron title"? I'm not sure if I remember seeing something like that...

There's this (forum) game called Nomic which is basically a simulation of state politics, and involves changing the rules of the game itself.
It's dead now, probably because there aren't too many people interested in that kind of raw political stuff - would anyone be interested in necroing the thread and suggesting some rules that enforce the Rule of Fun?

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

Is there a game where one person states a character, and the next person should suggest an actor to play their Distaff Counterpart? If not, how does one start a new thread?

Does the above game already exist? If not, can I make a new thread?
