  Goofus & Gallant
Posted by: Dookie - 02-18-2021, 15:34:23 PM - Forum: Forum games - Replies (8)

So it goes like this:

One person posts Goofus doing something bad, the next posts Gallant doing a similar thing in a good way. The same second Troubador posts Goofus doing another bad thing. 

Example:

T1: Goofus slams the door on his parents.

T2: Gallant opens the door for his parents. Goofus throws his vegetables on the floor.

T3: Gallant eats his vegetables. Goofus calls another kid a "Shitass."





Goofus steals the cookies from the cookie jar.

  Two truths and a lie: Troubadour edition
Posted by: wingedcatgirl - 02-15-2021, 08:06:02 AM - Forum: Forum games - Replies (17)

You say three things about you, two of which are true and one of which is not

The next poster guesses the lie and posts their own things, and you come back and edit in a response to their guess confirming whether it was correct

As you can see this is a very complicated game /s


1. I am a world record holder
2. My hair goes down to my mid-back
3. I have - other than my headmates - exactly one sibling.

Down arrow 2; My hair used to be that long but I just cut it short a few days ago. And I'm currently the world record holder for fastest full-game completion of Centipede (1998) on Dreamcast. Impatiently waiting for literally anyone else to attempt this category. Or any other category in this game.

  Yum or Yuck!
Posted by: Subparman - 02-14-2021, 06:00:09 AM - Forum: Forum games - Replies (15)

You know the drill. This game's basically “Name a thing, and see if the below poster likes it”’s tastier cousin; you react to the choice above you and pick some food for the next person to give a “yum” or “yuck”. Traditionally non-food items are disallowed, but for the sake of Comedy(TM), let's say that it goes, so long as it isn't anything against the site rules. Rinse and repeat.

Ready? I don't think the TC logo would taste all that good, so I'll start it off:

  The 10 Movie Marathon Game
Posted by: Mr. Lee Hammer - 02-11-2021, 04:08:13 AM - Forum: Forum games - Replies (12)

Another forum game I found on TV Tropes I'll start here.

Poster one will say a category of movies (ex. time travel movies, movies about robots, best picture winners). They will also add the first example. Every poster after will add one movie to the marathon. Whoever adds the tenth film gets to pick the next category.
So, for example, if the category was Time Travel Movies, the thread may look something like this:
Poster One
1. Back to the Future (1985)
Poster Two
1. Back to the Future (1985)
2. The Terminator (1984)
And so on until there are ten movies on the list.

Let's start off with movies that take place in a jungle:

1. Predator (1987)

  The 12 Song Album Game
Posted by: Dookie - 02-10-2021, 17:17:42 PM - Forum: Forum games - Replies (33)

I saw this on another forum on a website far, far away and thought it looked like fun enough to bring to your attention.
To put it simply:
We create a fictional compilation album consisting of total 12 songs each. Each user has to copy and paste adding only one song to the album, so in the end it's 12 songs, one per user, and each album has to have a different theme.
Whoever adds the last song on the album gets to decide the theme for the next album and then it starts all over again. Please avoid using multiple songs from the same artists in each category.
For example:
Poster 1: "Songs about or that reference U.S.A.

  1. 1. Tom Petty - American Girl"
Poster 2: "Songs about or that reference U.S.A.
  1. Tom Petty - American Girl

  2. Miley Cyrus - Party in the U.S.A."
...Until Poster 12: "Songs about or that reference U.S.A.
  1. Tom Petty - American Girl

  2. Miley Cyrus - Party in the U.S.A.

  3. Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A.

  4. David Bowie - Young Americans

  5. The Beach Boys - Surfin' U.S.A.

  6. The Sounds - Living in America

  7. Marina & Diamonds - Hollywood

  8. The Gaslight Anthem - American Slang

  9. Testament - True American Hate

  10. U2 - Bullet the Blue Sky

  11. Green Day - American Idiot

  12. Don McLean - American Pie
New Compilation: Songs that are over 10 minutes long.
  1. Avantasia - The Seven Angels"
The topic can and preferably will be more specific and imaginative than 'Songs about U.S.A.' It can be anything! Your favourite song by your favourite artist, songs about wild animals, songs that feature over 2 minutes of guitar solos, a song that reminds you of last summer. Go wild!
To start this off with something relatively easy, I'm going to go with this:

The Rock Album (Songs containing "Rock" or "Rock & Roll" in the title):

1. Bad Company - "Rock & Roll Fantasy"

  Sinister Starlight
Posted by: Despair's Archon of Memes - 02-10-2021, 17:04:56 PM - Forum: Murdergames - Replies (114)

OOC Thread

One day, you encountered a little cute animal on the side of the street, looking hurt. Being the nice person you are, you rescued it without a second thought. You remember it telling you the following:

"This world is in danger from all sorts of unspeakable evils, evils that threaten the universe itself. We can bestow upon you great power, a power that can combat these great evils. Join us, and save the universe!"

When it talked and offered you magical powers that can bend the laws of reality, you took it. You get attuned to your newfound powers, getting ready to embrace magic as part of your life. However, on your first expedition, you get knocked out by a mysterious force. When you wake up, you suddenly find yourself, along with 11 others trapped in a surprisingly lavish mansion, complete with a tea set and chandeliers! Suddenly, a TV turns on, showing a mysterious figure that you can't quite make out of the static.

Greetings. I know this arrangement is quite unexpected, but I am here to make an announcement. I have assembled you all here to tell you that the magic forces of this world have become unstable. This world cannot support this many magic-users at once. As such, you have all been called here, as a means to cull the... less proficient among us. Do not fret. There will be a great reward for those who survive. We welcome you to our abode... and may Sinister Starlight shine upon you...

"What Even Is This? "
Sinister Starlight is a murdergame in the style of Murder U inspired by dark Magical Girl anime such as Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Magical Girl Raising Project, as well as the gameplay mechanics of Mario Party.



"Meet Your Host... "
The Arch-Mage of Space!
If you're wondering why there's no picture of me, I'm a bit camera-shy. I'd also like if the mystery of what I look like stayed just that.  

Anyway, enough flattery, let's get to me...  

The Arch-Mage sends in tiny cards containing the following information:
  • I'm a Space Master, so I can create portals, Hammerspace, voids, and the like.

  • Again, I'm camera-shy, so you don't know what I look like.

  • I'm not the only Arch Mage. There are others that have command over other aspects of reality.
I'm afraid that's all of the information I'm giving you for now... 



"How To Play"
  • In the day phase, you'll help people out through specified minigames and obtain what are called "Magical Stars". The outcomes of the minigames are determined through RTD mechanics, and the outcomes are as such:
    • 1: Gives you nothing.
    • 2: Gives you one star.
    • 3: Gives you two stars.
    • 4: Gives you four stars.
    • 5: Gives you six stars.
    • 6: Gives you three stars.
  • At the end of the day, the participant with the most Magical Stars will be immune from any murder attempts for the night, and whoever that is will also be announced to be as such at the end of the day.
  • The number of Stars each player has will be announced at the end of the day. However, the scores are anonymous and don't show which Star amounts correspond to which players. Each player will receive a PM at the end of the day containing only THEIR corresponding Star amount.
  • However, at night, participants can murder others to steal their Magical Stars. This can only be done once per night.
  • Participants may call a trial at any moment during the day phase to discuss any unsolved murders.
  • If they successfully execute the murderer, the murderer gets executed and their Stars are dispersed to the remaining participants. If someone innocent is executed instead, the murderers will get the stars instead. The stars get split evenly between the murderers if there are multiple murderers alive at the same time.
  • Participants can also skip their vote if need be.
  •   Here's an alternate win condition for you  : If at the end of the day, a participant has 15 or more Stars, they'll be allowed to go free via a spell that temporarily removes the magic barrier surrounding the mansion.
  • The game ends when every player, except for two, has either escaped or been killed.



"Magic!"
What would a Magical Girl murdergame be like without magic? Those stars don't just look pretty, they also allow you to cast magic spells that can aid you in this murdergame!
Once a night, you may use your magical Stars to cast magic spells that can help you survive in this murdergame!

(These essentially emulate the special abilities of roles in other murdergames)

Low-level spells (Costs three Stars to cast, unlimited uses per round)
  • Illusion: Target two players, and make an illusion that one is the other and vice-versa. This goes for all targeted actions, including spells and murder.
  • Third Eye: Create a third eye in any room of your choosing. Whatever happens in that room, including who enters and exits or takes an action, you will know.
  • Healing: Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Target one player to heal. They will survive anything that doesn't ignore your healing. However, if you heal anyone that attempts murder, they'll target you instead.
  • Freeze: Also Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Target one player. That player cannot perform any actions for the remainder of the night. However, doing this also disables your ability to murder for the remainder of the night as well.
  • Divine Shot: Shoot at any other player. If they attempted to murder at any point in the round, they die immediately, and you are given their Stars. However, if you shoot at an innocent, you'll die instead. In addition, you're blocked from using this spell for the rest of the round if you murder at any point in the round.
Medium-level spells (Costs 7 stars to cast, can only be cast twice a round)
  • Necromancy: Choose any question to ask any dead player through the GM via DM in 20 words or less. The dead player will respond in 20 words in less, and you will be told their reply.
  • Luck Enchantment: Cast this spell to increase your luck, and any attempts on your life that don't explicitly ignore your protection will fail. This spell only lasts until the end of the current night phase, and if any attempts on your life are made, you will see who tried to kill you.
High-Level spells (costs 10 stars to cast, and can only be cast once per round)
  • Assassination: Select any player, and kill that player without leaving behind any evidence or a body. This functions as the kill attempt for the night.
  • Void Shot: target any player and shoot at them with a darkness-infused shot. The shot will kill that player regardless of what is happening. Mainly, Medic healing will fail if the target is hit with the Void Shot, and players with the Luck Enchantment active will still die. This also functions as the kill attempt for the night.



"The Rules"
  • No Godmodding, cheating, or generally bad OOC behavior. If you are caught doing these things, in this murdergame or any other, you will be erased from existence forever (In the Murderverse). A replacement will be found in your place, and you will be banned from all future rounds of this murdergame.

  • If you sign up, you must participate until you die. If for some reason, something comes along so that you cannot participate, PM me and I will remove you from the round. If you don't post for a week (  I'm very generous...  ) and you haven't given me a reason, you will be teleported away somewhere remote and a replacement will be found.

  • If your character is dead, don't post in the thread. You can spectate, though. Also, don't give clues to people outside the thread or tell people who are the murderers. If we catch you, we will erase you from existence forever. 

  • PM all night actions to the host. Do not post in the thread during the night.

  • No stalling, please. If no deaths happen for 2 day/night cycles, the participant with the least Stars will be killed on the spot, and whoever gets the first kill after that (innocents or murderers) will get the extra stars.

  • Remain in character in this thread. If you want to talk OOC, go to the dedicated OOC thread.

  • Format your votes like so: "/vote (name)". You can retract your vote at any time. Executions are done by a majority vote, and once that is reached, you cannot retract your vote, and the execution will commence.

  • No sharing of DMs from the host until the round is over.

  • No substantial post editing. You may make a second post that corrects any grammatical or formatting mistakes. You may also edit your initial post if need be, but said edit must also a reason that denotes what was edited. You may not edit a post in its entirety, especially if it's to take back something that implicates you. Remember this: Whatever you say or do is set in stone.

  • Just because this murdergame is themed after Magical Girl anime, doesn't mean boys aren't allowed! The Arch Magi are very accepting of new witches and wizards, after all.

  Make a Fake Smash Bros Fighter
Posted by: madface7 - 02-10-2021, 16:41:58 PM - Forum: Forum games - No Replies

Inspired by this TVTropes thread. Construct a moveset for a Smash Bros. fighter. It can be anything you want, from a video game character, to a cartoon character, to an OC, to yourself, and maybe even reworks of preexisting fighters! Describe them down to the very detail; their specials, fighting styles, smash attacks, and even write their alt costumes, Metal Gear codecs, and Palutena's Guidance if you wish. 


Example character: 

madface7
Source: Tropers: The Series



Midweight with poor jumps but a moderately high speed.

[*] Most of her jabs and aerials are punches and kicks, but have her limbs disconnect from her body Plok-style to extend the attacks' range by a bit. However, her smash attacks all use a whip.
[*] Neutral Special: M. Mad opens her mouth and out comes a large, slow-moving letter M that damages and traps enemies that walk into it.
[*] Side Special: Face Lift. Mad pulls her face off and uses each part as a boomerang, that's fired three times- the two eyes and then the mouth. The mouth deals the most damage. If intercepted, others can use her face as a weapon. It despawns after a while and reappears on her head.
[*] Down Special: Engineer Gaming. Mad builds a Mini-Sentry from Team Fortress 2 that takes 2 seconds to build, lasts 8 seconds, and shoots opponents from a small radius. It explodes after a while, which deals a small amount of damage, and it may be manually detonated. If players get close enough, they can pick it up and throw it.
[*] Up Special: Pineapple Present. Mad lays a literal pineapple grenade beneath her and shoots into the sky, dropping more grenades on the way up which explode and damage enemies below. 
[*] Final Smash: Birth In Death. Mad dies, and in doing so, summons her human catgirl counterpart which charges around the screen attacking anything in sight with a gigantic sword. She comes back to life a few seconds later.

Alt. Costumes

[*] orange body with magenta jacket and cyan skirt
[*] yellow body with red jacket and blue skirt
[*] pink body with teal jacket and green skirt
[*] gray body with white jacket, red blouse, black skirt, and brown hair
[*] skin-color body with black jacket, hot pink blouse, dark pink skirt, and pink hair
[*] orange body with a puffy pink-and-cyan suit, adorned with pineapple-shaped gems
[*] yellow body with red and blue skinsuit and ushanka 
[*] completely orange body, jacket, and skirt

Do we really not have a general tabletop thread? Well we do now.

Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Powered by the Apocalypse, maybe even DragonQuest if you're a fucking weirdo. It really seems like there's a tabletop system for every player, huh? There's even a few systems that don't need DMs if you look hard enough.

As a DM, I personally like writing centric systems like Interstitial and Monster of the Week, because I really like exploring characters and noooot so much setting up big complex encounters. As a player, though, speccing your character for combat is pretty fun. Even if it's not really my priority there either.

What kinda player are you? Do you prefer writing a complex character with interesting motives or backstory or do you just want to fuck shit up? What's your favorite system? Any funny stories from the table? That kinda stuff.
