Why do I kinda have the desire to run a DDB game show
DDB Jeopardy!!!
I mean a series of different games, like Squid Game or something
Tarasque Games or Dragon Games
Can I run the round where participants have to survive the night in the…
I can't see the image :(
I don't mean a direct clone though, I just meant the same premise of various games where contestants are slowly eliminated in each one. I've never seen the show itself
The thing is either most of them will have to boil down to rolling dice, or I introduce character sheet stuff and give myself a lot of pain. It'd be easy to google Trivia stuff (or search DDB if it was trivia for here) and dice are really the only interactive thing on the platform that I can think of.

I've been watching how your eyes move to the ground And I hear you change your story every time that I'm around You can tell me what you want, say what you will But I'm done with you, I'm done with what you say you think is real

If you want, I can help make some challenges.
Sure!

So the image is flaming text saying ‘DUNGEONS OF THE TAMER’. Maybe a maze filled with multiple types of monsters. They would need character sheets if we do this one, and likely a random encounter sheet.

Would it be the first one to die is eliminated? Or whoever makes it out continues?
I think it could work possibly. Character sheets would work if we lay out the proper ground rules for character creation(which I could probably borrow from that one PvP tournament I never did, just lower level and without all the other complicated stuff). A more difficult version could be there's one big monster wandering around and the contestants use the commoner stat block or something weak like that. Could do either or both.

To answer the first question, it’s whoever is able to make it out. Those character creations rules would be good. The more difficult one could be a redemption round where those who were eliminated have a chance to rejoin if they are one of the last to survive. Just a thought.
Guys, I am so hyperfixated on Draw Steel's demons.
They're insane.
What’s Draw Steel?
New TTRPG by Matthew Colville.
It has a more narrow focus than DnD, but it's very, very good where it wants to be.
It's a self described heroic, cinematic, tactical RPG. You basically need a battle map, which I don't really like, but it is just a truly epic system.
Oh cool. What about the demons do you find interesting?
A lot. Gonna copy-paste my infodump from Discord.
They are body horror incarnate, and they hold a vital place in the timescape (think basically the Great Wheel from DnD).
They're the decomposers, even if they don't want to be. Okay, so basically, energy starts at the very top of the multiverse and slowly sinks down, kind of like in our real-world oceans. Higher manifolds (the Draw Steel name for planes of existence) use their abundant energy to create powerful technology, so angels are typically constructed servitors of the gods, who are forbidden to enter the material-plane equivalent due to its dramatically lower energy. Lower worlds use magic instead of tech, because while it's less precise, it's more efficient. The lowest world, at the very bottom of the timescape, is the Abyssal Wastes, a sun-scorched desert home to the demons. There is barely any energy there, so competition is fierce. Demons can't even reproduce because that would take too much personal energy, and so they just... appear, just like in DnD. The big difference, though, is that demons in DnD are embodiments of pure chaos and evil, while for Draw Steel demons it's more of an incidental thing. They normally can't afford kindness or empathy, so any semblance of order is impossible. HOWEVER! These demons are far more complex than those in DnD. The strongest demons aren't just the ones with the most souls, it's those that have developed in a way to help (and thus control) others. Living buildings, musicians, politicians, the works. Oh, I should mention, demons need to have souls in their bodies or they enter a state called Lethe where they are ravenous and insane, killing everything around them in hopes of acquiring a soul. They don't need to eat or drink, and they don't even need to destroy a soul to feed from it, but they can choose to do so if they want a power surge. Generally not a great move.
Anyway, back to the point, stronger demons will actually adopt demons of the lower echelons as their children. That's insane. A DnD demon couldn't give a damn about other demons, but these guys will literally make pacts with mortals to make sure their adopted children get fed and feel comfortable on the material plane. Demons can't die normally due to their malleable nature, so they kinda just get mashed into paste and sent back to their hated "home," the Abyssal Wastes. No demon wants to be there.

I already had an idea for a demonic summoner, but it needs work. My concept is a sort of demon sympathizer, or perhaps a sort of "ethical renaissance demon" who wants to bring about an age of enlightenment by combining humanoid technology with demon magic (which is typically more dangerous than mortal magic because it gets overcharged on higher manifolds) to create a better place for both sides.
