The Forum Game Recommendations and Ideas Thread

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.

This is a weird idea, but I really like the conceit of this post, depicting fandom memes about a totally fictional show without ever explaining the context. I was wondering if we have or could have a game where we do something similar — pretend to be a media forum for a show that doesn't exist, and then just keep adding more insane topics without ever outright explaining the premise of the show. Kind of like one big Noodle Show.

EDIT: Made it here.

As much as I think the "Poorly describe [X]" threads are getting a little old, I think one interesting addition could be "Poorly describe a ship," as long as we limit it to ships with some semblance of a fanbase so it's easier to guess.

Just looking through some of the games that have fallen onto the later pages. I am talking like 15-17. Some of these do seem like they could be fun, but at the same time, I'm not sure how people feel about them getting bumped after being untouched for so long.

I think it's generally considered acceptable to bump an old thread that has been inactive for less than a year. Just try not to do it with too many threads at once (and if the game, say, never even reached two pages of posts, it's probably better not to do it at all).

If the game has been dead for longer than a year but used to be popular, you can always try starting a reboot of the thread.

Is there a game on the go where we would list the major characters of a non-film/live-action series and assign them live action actors, or would that be too complicated/drag on too long?

There is four collection games, which are ones for songs, movies, video games and TV series. Will it be a problem if I add a new one for Animes?
