Me: Look at all these cool #TTRPGs out there! There's Fantasy AGE, Genesys, Star Wars, Star Trek, Cyberpunk, Paranoia...
Gaming Group: NO! We don't want new rules/genres! Only D&D!
My spirit, deflated.
I will give them credit. I did introduce them to #Genesys via Android: Shadow of the Beanstalk and #Alien RPG. They enjoyed them. But the Genesys funky dice are hard for them to grok (I get it). And they love fantasy first.
It is a little disheartening, as I got my copies of Fantasy Age 2e and Dragonbane in the mail in the last week. I was eager to try those out. I really want to run a long-term #FantasyAGE game. I may need to look for players for that.
Gawd, I really don't want to look for a new gaming group in #LNK. Trying to find a group that will actually take a new player (even a GM) is like pulling team. The local gaming scene feels so insular.
