Land Wars. Which is a game I don't have the time to explain right at this moment but basically there was a game of it on here before that flopped, but it got me hooked and I feel like with a more dedicated and somewhat more... personable GM it can absolutely work.
This 100%. The Nuzlocke forums I'm on don't run it consistently, so I'd be super down to make it happen.

Does Nuzlocke Forums even have regular forum games outside of mafia games that die to other reasons than player inactivity? No matter how active I am in my own threads in the forum game section, they rarely get a second page due to no player activity.

I thought GM inactivity was a major reason for forum game death, but there it's player inactivity.

Sorry, I was attempting to find a good word for 'somebody who doesn't ban players for having different political views and is willing to pause the game to write battles instead of drawing them out over six turns of silence, allowing other players to interfere five turns after the battle should have ended and both players had annexed the kingdom being fought over, and then deciding the battle on RNG anyway'

Well if it seems to continue to be explosively popular discussion hangout, maybe I'll bug Toad about a sticky in awhile.

Or, someone who knows ideologies that involve killing half the population and still having starvation and forum games don't mix.

Plus that shit was all offsite anyways.

Eh. I don't think this needs stickying. It has the potential to be a useful thread, sure, but not all useful threads need to pollute the stickies.

And guys, let's drop that whole drama. Some... interesting, behavior on part of the GM on an associated discord along with additional kerfuffles with the running of the game, but it's in the past now. Learn from your mistakes and move on.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

They come ass a bunch of ADHD grade schoolers with diabetes from eating too much sweets, who additionally suffer from Nintenditis (look it up). Surprising that any Land Wars game got beyond page 01 there.

@Everyone Else: Didn't expect this to blow up. Haha. No need getting up in arms over politics, you two. No one here is qualified or smart enough to engage in politics anyway. We're nerds on a Mongolian basket weaving forum, not the next head of the UN. I agree with Waffles; let that stuff stow, mates.

Well, there hasn't been a post here in a bit, just felt like bringing up another thing though, less of a specific game, and more of a concept in forum games.. That being where you submit something(songs, Yu-gi-oh cards, fictional characters) and the GM builds your character/abilities/deck/whatever based on that.

This is seen in stuff like Fallacys old Stand Off, as well as BYOR Mafia games. It's one of those things that I really want to see, but also really don't want to run myself, not because I wouldn't be willing to run a game but because my whole interest in games involving this concept is to see how other people interpret things.

Was thinking of a different sort of Arms Race.

Instead of killing each other there are dungeon type deals.

The Arms Race, is better equipping and recruiting people to explore these spots for loot and possible plot/power ups.

It’s called Tomb Space, as it is weird alien crafts and sturtires, seemingly abandoned.

Vaguely reminds me of Boss Monster. A boardgame where you design a lair and entice heroes to their doom.

Which could also be a fun PvE or PvP arms race.

Alright guys aside my games now. Only got enough juice to make four more that will interest me. Only applied when my current work is dead.

Stellar Legions: Unlike precious games ( now dubbed High Command) In the new Stellar Legions, it’s part story mode, part army, part design game. Here I charge of a single legion, not complete forces of humanity and stuff happens. Based on your stuf limits what can be made in unit design/refit. Along with choices, that affect tone and mood of npcs.

Forbidden Relics: Here your a magic using student, who so happens to find a piece of magic that is forbidden. Leading to a rabbit hole of all sorts of things.

Invaders: This time the opposite of Stellar Legions. Your leading one of the forces of xenos or daemons out to wipe out the rest.

Swarm
Ancients:
Warrior Race:
Inheritors:
Machines:
Planar:

Each one has three options. For taste. And with that happy genocide.


The last


End of Infinity: Humans in latter 21 century made a massive success in energy tech. It breaks reality. Literally. FTL travel occurs, magic occurs, as well as technology never seen in real life before. Reality is subjected by who sees it. God, The Devil, Chaos And Nature are all alive and in the living space with humans. Also non human life showed up, the realm of imsnigation broke as all the things dealt by man are real now. Hell some humans mutated into said roles.

Two stat sets. Ruler/Officer. Also Faction.

End, SL, and Invaders all use the same galaxy map Roseheart made for me. As it’s awesome.


Edit: Also have Mad World Deal. Where one competes and kills people in creative, violent ways for the sponsors approval.
