This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

RPGs you love, but know you'll never get players for?

Quote from: flyingmice;861919Why the sudden eruption of resurrected dead threads? The forum has changed. Most of these people are long gone.
Is there anything wrong with revisiting old topics of conversation?

It's not as if a whole lot we discuss TODAY wasn't discussed, in one form or another, in the APAs thirty years ago.
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

Dragon Storm: The CCG and OOP aspects make this one nigh impossible to get players into. And anyone familliar with the Guild before things crashed probably has a poor opinion of the game there too. If not flat out quit. Pitty as it was great to work on and GM and play.

White Wolf's Wraith or Changeling for sure.

GURPS Illuminati (quack, any Illuminati-themed game)

Blade of the Iron Throne

And I really can't see how anyone with a dash of sanity would want to play Anima. I swear read the quacking book tons of times to find the game I hear a lot of people willing to play, but can't wrap my head around it. And I swear I like crunchier games, but it is too much!

You got blinded by the character and power creation system.  The actual combat and game play is actually two entire charts.  Just two.  One for Melee and one for Ranged.

To make a character, however, that's the nightmare.  The system is so front loaded it's like climbing a castle wall to get some cheese with your bare hands.  Once you climb that wall, the cheese shop is just across the way.  But first you gotta scale a 60 foot (20m) monstrosity.
"And now, my friends, a Dragon\'s toast!  To life\'s little blessings:  wars, plagues and all forms of evil.  Their presence keeps us alert --- and their absence makes us grateful." -T.A. Barron[/SIZE]
