TSR Hot Topics 2025: 20 Questions Game

Hi this is my first time making a forum game.
This is 20 Questions and here's how to play:
1. The Answerer posts “I’m thinking of something!” and may provide a category (e.g., “It’s a physical object” or “It’s a fictional character”) to narrow it down.
2. Players take turns asking one yes-or-no question per post. Please wait for the Answerer to respond before asking another question.
3. You have up to 20 questions to guess the answer. The Answerer will track the question count.
4. If you think you know the answer, post your guess as a question (e.g., “Is it a lighthouse?”).
5. If no one guesses after 20 questions, the Answerer reveals the answer and a new round begins.
6. To become the next Answerer, volunteer in the thread after the round ends. First come, first served!
7. Keep it friendly and fun. No overly obscure answers (e.g., “my cousin’s left shoe” is too specific).

I'll be the first Answerer. I'm thinking of something. It's a fictional character.

Sounds very funny. It reminds me of my board game at home. It is the exact principle to play it. Let's go to play!
