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.

Which RPGs that you used to play, now just suck?

Quote from: TristramEvans;582769Does that make 2e "just right"? Is it the porridge that Goldilocks chose?

Definitely not.  That should have been "up through 2e".

None of the games I used to play suck. The reason I don't play them any more is that my tastes have changed. The games are still the same as they always were.

Quote from: RPGPundit;582787I hadn't played RIFTS in 15 years when I ran it again, and it was great, better than before even.

I just did a cursory check and confirmed that I am, obviously, not you.

Well, RIFTS *does* objectively suck, even though lots of us have had fun with it.  ;)

Rifts represents one of the great mysteries of gaming. The system can be just painful and the books utterly wonky, but hot damn on swizzle stick Rifts consistently is incredible fun at my game table.

I believe I still can find something to enjoy in all the games I was interested in over the last 30 years.

I'm guessing, of course.  It's not like I've reread all of them in the last decade.

I just don't have the energy to throttle it to shake the fun out of it anymore.
I wish I did. I had some great games. I also ran it almost exclusively for a full decade, and had a bad run-in with Palladium Books online, so I think it's just done for me now.
