I'd love a civilization kind of game if anyone's up for that. No idea how it would play, but if you have ideas. Im more than willing to host it :)

You could do something like Micelus' old Rise of the Dragons. The similarities might draw some players in and Elf's "giant monsters worshipped like gods" would be present because dragons.

That's an interesting idea. How would you set up a giant monster game differently than a god game?

I'll look into rise of the dragons, that sounds cool.

A suggestion game where you control the King of the Pigeons, a gigantic fat featherless bird abomination living somewhere in the attic of an old high-rise in Moscow. You have telepathic control over the city's massive population of pigeons. Your duty is to fuck shit up because that's all your wretched flying rat kind is good for.

I get the feeling this is inspired by personal experience...

Does anyone know of a utility where I can change and alter territories on a map? If I do a civilization game, that going to be something I need...

Would anyone be interested in a game where you play as kaiju fighting each other, like a Godzilla movie?

Suggested that above. I was planning on working on a system for it, but I can't run games to save my life.

If most of what you want to do is "having territory to show", Hexographer sounds like a good idea. There are not that many different tiles in the trial version, but I have seen multiple people on this forum do just fine with them.

Either way, if I think about "building" a map, Hexographer is the fastest way that I would know of.

So... what's the sales pitch? "PVP-Fights", can be done in various ways, and while "Kaiju" can give some "bonus interest" due to novelity, the core of the game needs to be enjoyable.

Or rather, just people slogging it out against each other, devoid of story, would not be all that interesting.
How about giving the players different options. Envision the classic meetup in the tokyo harbour - one of them could want to devour the citizens, one could want to go on a rampage, one could want to protect the city, or they could even go at it together - most likely devouring the citizens - if their goals match up.

So.. kinda like "roundly missions", where the players are able to recieve additional attributes? Different attributes, give access to different traits and abilities. Size, Strength, Agility, Intelligence / Magic. Those kind of things.

Maybe it's the dying times, and the last few kaiju must band together and journey to a supposed safe haven while being pursued by the humans who wish to wipe them out.

Ok here is one I am inventing for fun.

A Pen and Paper RPG about ghost fighting with mechanics involving being sensitive or insensitive to their presence.

With the intent that ghosts are capable of being dealt with in multiple ways (Appease, exorcise, what have you) before they spiral out of control and you have to vacate.

With other stuff.

Building on the Arms Race universe, I want to do an design game/RPG hybrids, where all the weapons engineers are running a parliament and using experimental weaponry to pursue their legislative goal. Storm the speakers pulpit, lay suppressive fire to filibuster your opponent bill or mine the cafetaria to strike at the enemys supply line.
