    Following the discussion over the past few months, we’ve merged major or recent threads from the Games Forum into Community as our new ongoing Gaming sub-forum, joining our other media and entertainment sub-forums here. While primarily focused on video games, historically, it also can be used for discussing card games and other tabletop gaming.

    The existing Games sub-forum in Community with our thread-based events has had its tag renamed “JCC Games” to help reduce any confusion.

    While Community has generally been a place for non-Star Wars discussion, we didn’t want to separate the SW video game discussion from the rest of the video game discussions, so we’re allowing SW gaming threads on a limited scale. There are general discussion threads to cover talk about older titles while newer ones will still have their own, standalone, threads.

    Any additional Star Wars video game threads must have mod approval first before being posted.


    The Forceboat Parte thread in JCC will remain as our general gaming discussion/what are you currently playing topic while the “What was the last videogame you beat?” thread will service final reviews and thoughts on titles. Think of their dynamic as being somewhat (though not exactly) similar to that found between the “At the Movies” & “What was the last movie you saw?” threads in Amphitheater.

    Below is an index of the threads we’ve moved over from the previous forum for initial quick reference (this is not intended to be an ongoing resource at this time). If there are any additional threads you’d like to have moved over from the previous forum, message a mod with your request and we’ll decide if moving over the existing thread is warranted or if just starting a new one would end up being best.

    The existing Games Forum has been closed to new posts. We'll be leaving it out for the next week or so before moving it to an archive under the Community header.

    Welcome, Games Community to the JCC! I'm really excited and happy about this merge. I hope to see an increase in Gaming conversation and engagement with your threads as well as our existing threads, especially AMPH related content.

    But I'd be remiss if I didn't welcome you in traditional JCC fashion:

    Yay! I haven't been to the games forum because I'm lazy. Bring the fun to me, I say!

    This is going to be so confusing having the gaming threads mixed in here.

    That's why there's a Gaming tag - if you want to just view those threads you can. (Same way you can for Senate, etc.). Let's face it - the slower moving threads will drop off the first and second pages fairly quickly.

    So how does one watch the gaming tag now instead of the gaming forum? I don't want to watch the whole JCC.

    Do people still play games? ;)

    Welcome gamers, not one myself, but have to admit I really miss watching my daughter play, her hubby as well.

    Just click on the blue gaming tag at the top of the main forum or next to any individual thread on the main forum page. That'll filter out everything but the gaming posts.

    Yes, and it is for precisely this reason that humanity should probably be destroyed.

    Can I make a thread about a GTA-style game set in the GFFA? It's an original idea of mine.

    Also when is KOTOR 3 coming out?

    Yeah I know I can do that. I want to be alerted when there is a new thread with that tag. Like I did with the watched forum function.

    I actually didn't even know about that function, but maybe if you try it after filtering the tag it might watch just that tag? Not sure it works that way but worth a shot.

    Xenforo legitimately needs "watch prefix" functionality, though considering they seem to not understand how useful their own feature is I'm not holding my breath.

    Looks like they might have a function similar to that in version 2.x of Xenforo. I took a quick look and I didn't see anything for 1.5 (our release).

    I like this. The games forum is the only non-Community area I ever browse, but even that is pretty infrequent due to that forum's inactivity. I wouldn't mind the opportunity to talk about games more with the people I talk about everything else with.

    Maybe I'll post a Paradox thread sometime soon. I know some other people here play Crusader Kings and the like, so it could be fun to discuss those games more here.

    Maybe we should unite all the subforums into one megaforum? [face_thinking]

    What about franchises that have tabletop, tcg, novels, comics and videogames like Warhammer? What tag should be used?

    I mean, of course the correction answer is please don't post about Warhammer, but also you could just use the two prefixes "Gaming" and "Amph" to cover literally all of that.

    Edit: In fact, the more I think about it, those kinds of multimedia properties are exactly the argument in favor of this merger. Like Halo games but also want to discuss the tie-in books? Good news, it's no longer ambiguous: one multi-tag Community thread has got you covered.
