I've been tossing around some ideas for games recently, but I'm not sure which one to go with or if anyone is interested. So I'm going to throw out some ideas and see if anyone has any interest. The point of this thread is to get people to toss out their own ideas and perhaps in a while we'll have some really cool games in the works.

Main idea of the thread: State ideas you are interest in making into forum games and comment on other people's. Basically this is a brainstorming and discussion sort of thread.

Here are some of mine:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A city management type of game where each player represents a faction within the city and its trying to gain control of the city. Probably a high fantasy setting with all the races and such. May have external threats to the city. (Could be made into a god game of sorts)

A game where you are a tribe at the dawn of civilization and you work to expand your territory and advance through the ages. Could be high fantasy or just normal.

A game where you are a member of a vampire nest trying to advance through the ranks. 

A colonization style game. Can be scifi, normal, or fantasy. Also toyed around with the idea of a pikmin forum game, but can't think of a way to make it work.

Been thinking about doing a god game, but there doesn't seem to be much interest in those right now. Plus I want it to be different than the basic god game somehow.

Thank you! I was thinking of doing this, but I never got around to it. I've got a whole bunch of mafia games that would be great for online forums. However, they're pretty much complete. Can I still post them here?

I know what you mean. God games today are all the same-ish in my opinion. Something new would definitely make them awesome again.

Isn't Gaming Block basically this?

But it's too mainstream.

That vampire one sounds nice if you can make it so that your rising through the ranks of a vampire dominated court that runs a small country.

Said country is being bullied by a large unified kingdom and some wild Ork tribes. The player will navigate by dealing with threats from humans within, a hostilish country, and violent orks.

Build up your thralls, army, manor, and rule the secret court. But there should be legitimate vampire factions you'll have to please or fight.

Being a general could be a great way to advance through the game and should be encouraged bit other waya should be given a chance.

May need work but that's what i'd love to see.

I thought Gaming Block was dead? If its not, then yeah, this is that.

[IronyOwl]

Gaming Block isn't dead, it just moves in fits and starts. This thread will probably be indistinguishable from bumping the old one- you'll get a flurry of posts, then it'll sink back down for a while.

[HFS]

A dungeon-crawl RPG similar to Etrian Odyssey.

Large labyrinths, Field-On-Enemies (F.O.E.s), lots of class customization, etc. etc.

*I have only played EO4. Haven't beaten it, either (echoing library).

Doesn't need to be in the same universe, more of a...similar style, if anything else.

Willing to come up with a hopefully-workable system if there's interest.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

That sounds cool. I'd play it.

As for my ideas:
A game based on kaiju. Just fighting with kaiju.
Someone attempting to do a Persona game that didn't die out like mine.
Shin Megami Tensei- that is, a forum game (RPG or SG) based around summoning and fighting with demons and such.

[Twinwolf]

-snip-

I am very interested in that, playing through EO4 myself. I'd say where I'm at, but that is kind of extremely spoilers compared to where you are.

Also want these. I tried doing a Persona game but the system- or lack thereof- killed it because I had no idea what to do with it. The one game I ran with an actual rulebook to follow- the AoT one- was the only one that didn't die because I was overwhelmed. I was literally just waiting for players to say that they were moving on and then I'd continue it. Although now it's just dead and I forgot where I was taking the story.

I'd like to see a Witcher-based game. Could be modified DnD, could be it's own system.

Also, maybe a Monster Hunter game. Not sure how.

These 3 sound awesome, would definitely join any of these

[Ukrainian Ranger]

How about a real evolution game? I mean with generations random mutations and evolutionary pressure.

Players may either influence set of possible mutations or change the environment.

[Andres]

A game where you are a member of a vampire nest trying to advance through the ranks.

As someone who just finished Shadow of Mordor, this interests me.

A game based on kaiju. Just fighting with kaiju.

I tried doing that in the RTD board but not many people were interested. Best not to go with this idea.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Well, it wouldn't have to be an RTD. An SG or an RPG would be just as good: really, it's how you sell the idea of playing kaiju than the idea itself.

Like god games. Only there are tons of god games and no games about just being giant monsters worshipped like gods.

[3man75]

A game like the old lordship or princeship would be nice too. But hard to get going.
