Virtual Nightclub: A Game About Time (Windows, Thumb Candy, 1997)
An ambitious sci-fi adventure game which became lost media until 2016. You can download it, pre-configured to run on modern versions of WIndows, here, including a comprehensive guide and a very different unfinished beta version.
You can read the Lost Media Wiki article about it here, and read the guide's writer's thoughts on the game here.
TSR's Mini Games were their answer to the microgame movement, pocket-sized board games with folded paper maps and a small sheet of counters (ad from back cover of White Dwarf 30, GW, April/May 1982)
This week, I finalized the text for the Ashcan version of At the Gates. It should be coming along to DTRPG within the next couple of weeks. I'm so damned excited for people to start reading and playing in this world I came up with. In celebration, please tell me what your favorite jrpg minigame is.

same rules as before, if you're talking about something serious, feel free to drop the dare. no need to ruin something with a silly game

[ID: a title image for a TTRPG called "Beach Day!". the background is light tan, with a pink-toned illustration of a van on the beach with a figure sitting on top with a mounted camera. over top it says "Beach Day!" in dark teal font, and below it says "a system-agnostic party bonding minigame" end ID]
The grand adventure awaits!
The sprawling castle of the overthrown king … The bustling seaports full of animalfolk … The seedy lazerblaster shops tucked away in the slums … The glittering lair of the last great dragon …
But that’s all for another day.
Today, you just get to breathe.
The sun is shining. The air is fresh. You know you won’t get this respite for long, but it’s here for now. There’s a peace around your shoulders like a blanket, and for the time, all you want to do is savor it.
Your companions are safe, for the moment.
But this moment is all you need.

Beach Day! was created for the Anime and Manga Tribute Jam 2023 and was inspired by the common trope of beach episodes in anime - where characters get to have fun, get new outfits, relax, and bond.
In Beach Day! your characters will spend time doing activities, gathering tokens, and then swapping gifts with each other. Gifts might be rewarded with gifts back ... or someone might feel inspired to open up about something they haven't talked about before.
The minigame is system-agnostic and should work as one, roleplay-focused session in a longer running game. The more your characters bond, the more rewards they'll get going forward from their beach episode.
You don't need anything to play, but tokens and a 12-sided die are optional. It fits on one page and comes with a printer-friendly plaintext version.
The past few years I've been mourning the loss of old school minecraft minigame servers. I remember playing on the Hive and Mineplex and a bunch of other servers for hours because there were so many silly unique games to play.
But in the past few years I've found that there's really not much of that anymore. The Hive shut down and is only on Bedrock now (no hate to Bedrock but I personally just prefer Java and the Bedrock hive just looks like there's a different vibe), Mineplex shut down, and I feel like the minigame market is just dominated by Hypixel. I love hypixel, I grew up on it just like the other servers I mentioned, but let's all be honest here, it's really not as fun when there's only one place to go. (Also I'm super petty because their version of hide and seek is atrociously boring and I miss the Hive's hide and seek. Or even Mineplex's version with the mobs. This is the case with a lot of other gamemodes where I feel other servers did it better unfortunately.)
I know minigames aren't in the spotlight as much anymore. With the uptick of SMP content, that seems to have taken the forefront of the server market from what I've seen. And no hate to SMPs either, I love that kind of stuff, but I really do miss the variety of minigames.
So I really have to ask here, does anyone know any minigame servers other than Hypixel for java minecraft? Stuff that's not painfully competitive (Another of my issues with hypixel), maybe some classic survival games? Hide and seek obv, party style games, TTT, basically anything with the vibe of mid 2010s minigame servers because I've been looking for ages and for the life of me I can't seem to find anything and I'm desperate.
