Nostalgia for an old bay12forum art game.
« on: February 03, 2021, 04:21:42 am »
I don't really expect anything to come from this, but I thought "what the heck" maybe someone will know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I used to frequent Bay12Forums over a decade ago. That's a long long time. I remember when Roll to Dodge and Mafia forums were first added.

Back then there were some awesome artists on the forum and some roleplaying games with amazing art were made around that time.

The only thing like that (a forum roleplaying game thread with art), that I can remember off of the top of my head is The Littlest Cheesemaker. Everything else has kind of vanished from my mind except for the certain fact that there existed some amazing stories in the Forum Games and Roleplaying subforum with full blown art (that wasn't pixelart, though there were a couple that were pixelart)

If anyone remembers any old Bay12Forums art roleplaying games I'd love to be told about them. If nothing else it'd be a good way to discover something I may not have known about.

The Littlest Cheesemaker - Still on the first page of the forum.
Losing is Fun - Also on the first page.

I'm slowly trying to crack into it with 2D and 3D art :P

I made a mecha fighting forum game awhile back, but the image host dried up.

Spoiler: my 2D (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: my 3D (click to show/hide)

Not sure if these count due to not being on the forum but they're good stories.


The Tale of Bronzemurder

Matul Remrit (Bravemule) will always be my favourite.  :'(

The three I most remember from days long gone:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=55601.msg1198884#msg1198884 - Elves of Amanereli: The Caravan
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.0 - Space Adventure
Do Not Trust The Rainbow Snail - Sadly gone, deleted by the image host.

Key words to look for are ISG, Illustrated Suggestion Game, or, mostly on other parts of the internet, Quest.
I ran a few, but I don't think any lasted for more than a few posts. They might or might not have been deleted by the image host, but I'm not going to check because I'd rather not know.
