I have an idea. A suggestion game where everything is like real life only every time a suggestion that is not 'normal' or 'sane' (Up to the GM) goes through everything goes a little more 'off'. Say there is a suggestion to kill someone and the main character isn't a psychopath or a sociopath that has killed people. Then the darkness starts to try and grab people but is unable to do it. Or monsters suddenly become real.

Of course you wouldn't tell that to the players.

Of course. And if I do this then you all have to swear not to reveal the secret.

DO IT. If you do, then I will find and track down anyone who even contemplates thinking about the idea of it crossing their minds and kill them.

EDIT: You know, you seem to be one for these trap games. First the experimental forum game, and now this. Not to say that they're bad; they're some of the best ideas I've seen for a forum game.

I got one. A game about having to evacuate earth as a rogue star is about to impact the solar system, with the GM as the enemy trying his damnedest to make the players fail(fairly of course....or not! >:D )

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Huh. I have wanted to see/run a game with a similar objective to Earth 2150, but was having a bit of trouble coming up with a calamity that would actually require people to leave Earth.

Neutron star on impact trajectory.
It is the actual plot of a documentary I saw on Youtube. Bright enough to be seen far in advance, massive enough for any other option than getting the fuck out of the way is impossible, and has the added bonus to throw shit at them (disrupt asteroid orbits, radiations, that kind of things...) and have visible effects on earth decades before the actual impact.

-A game where you play as an ancient supercomputer deep underground with the purpose of grooming the new planet and guiding evolution. Help the species grow into an advanced civilization, but don't let them find you out.

-An illustrated first person puzzle game, similar to Myst.

I'd probably make that, if my drawing skills weren't quite so horrific.

Too many ideas and too little multitasking capabilities.
Feel free to use them all and share your own.

Game Design Bureau - you are a new, aspiring game developer! Can be played either cooperatively or competitively.

You Own a Tavern! - create your menu, design the tavern itself, make it famous and get heroes and other celebrities into your little tavern.

You Are a Boss! - ever wondered how would it be to play on the other side of Good-Evil war? Manage your dungeon, rise in power and fame as more and more heroes pay you a visit.

Given my love for Kairosoft games I might try the Tavern. However I might plaigarize a modified Kairo game engine into it.

Just because I haven't seen something like it yet I'll throw in another idea.
The liberal Dwarven crime squad. Just like like liberal crime squad but set in a modernized DF world. (So guns and the internet and such exist.)

I've been wanting to do an illustrated game, but I can't come up with an art style thats simple enough for me to draw, while still remaining interesting.
