Suggestion: The Battleground

[Salzorrah]

Yeah, basically any game that requires a gamemaster, with its own structured rules and mechanics and such, with a determined number of players fit the bill. It's too strict for the Playground, since PG is more of a lax post-n-go environment, has the same level of seriousness as the UG, but not mafia, and is more lenient than RPT which needs everyone to contribute to the output, unlike the games hosted here, which is usually only shouldered by the GM.

So can we call these "Tabletop-Style Games" for the sake of having a fairly accurate and simple tag in the short term? I personally think a "Serious" tag would still be too vague and only conveys tone,, not type.

haha that's right along the lines i was thinking. do you think a cyoa would fit that or no? would that be confusing?

It might be. Tabletop CYOA games do exist, though, it seems.

Maybe just have it be "Tabletop" and have a blurb somewhere about what belongs in that tag?

That works for me.

this discussion is basically dead but i think it should do fine in the playground. that's actually how i initiated bringing mafia to life. i got the word out here (via feedback & support) as well as a little advice, contacted the PG mods to see if i could have my thread stickied for visibility purposes, hit up those who expressed interest and look at mafia now. :)

def will be checking out some of the games y'all host

Hey, so, basically, I'm going to be requesting a prefix called Tabletop (and clarifying what type of game can use that prefix in the rules), but I want to get a game going, and it will be stickied.

Any of you got a game you want to start?

Oh, wish I had seen this earlier! I'd be all for a section like this. Or a subsection. Or even just promotion of big games. I've been wanting to try some more serious games.

so the more i think about it the less sure i am about the designation of "tabletop" just due to what kinds of things we're putting in- theyre so varied! but i. cant for the life of m think of a better name. can we brainstorm?

also imma do a cyoa soon

 

[Salzorrah]

Also hosting an Amazing Race-esque tournament/event or something like that, which actually works like in the show :X

 

[Aquacorde]

alternative tag: [Complex] maybe? i just dont know how to encompass this lol

 

[Nah]

That'd be better than Tabletop at least. There's probably a more appropriate name but fuck if I can think of anything

 

[Aquacorde]

i know right! it's such a broad idea that theres not a lot we can say lmao. maybe [Complex] for now and if theres anything better then... well we change down the line ya?

GM Games, with GM standing for Gamemaster. That work?

omg u came in and nailed it lol i am here for this

 

[donavannj]

I let the idea simmer over Christmas Eve and Christmas and see if anyone can come up with any objections to that one before changing the prefix.

 

[Salzorrah]

omg +1 donny

you have no idea how long weve tried to come up with an appropriate name for this category lmao

Saw this a bit late, but this seems much better than Tabletop tbqh. Game Master Chu, yeah sounds good {:3}. Speaking of good, Game Master Chu is almost done with his current Event & already has something planned, anyone interested?

Pika Pika :chu:
