Forum Games

Hey -

I don't know about others, but I am missing the forum games that used to run here and on the FFG forum. They became a part of my life, etc, and I valued the regular interaction.

I've looked around at other forums to see if those kinds of games are played elsewhere, but I have so far come up empty. Are there places where people play turn based strategy multi player games for free?

If not, do folks want to play another game here? I understand that the forum is a much quieter place than the old one - is that just a discord consequence?

Thoughts, comments, suggestions, feelings?

I am always interested in playing games! I don't know of anywhere else to play them. I think it's a mix of Discord and the fact that this isn't linked to from the official product page, so it's not as easily found.

I know there are several forums devoted to Mafia, but not everyone's a fan (understandably.) Otherwise no, not familiar with other choices.

I'd be down to play something though. It's a pity we can't just open a wormhole or two and meet for board games...

I liked playing that game between GNIP, LTD and me (can't remember the name now). I think it was helpful for me that part of it took place on Discord because it spurred me to play a little quicker.

I would enjoy playing something if the rules are simple enough. I couldn't wrap my head around the 3D warfare game. I also would prefer not to be required to keep track of lots of private information.

I think you must mean "Czar of the South" Bertie - everything was public knowledge and we had simultaneous movement without a GM.

I've certainly missed these games.

I have an idea for a game that would also serve as a kind of narrative generation system. But I've not put it together as yet.

I would also appreciate a worm-hole Jabbawookie. Perhaps when I come over for Worlds one day I'll make a number of stops across the various states to visit you all and sleep on couches, etc.

My current idea is to run a game set in this universe - as the players make decisions and interact I will use that as fodder for developing stories and short videos to build up a youtube channel and become internet famous!

What do you guys think? Any interest in helping by pretending to be mice at war?
