A Title Much Cooler Than Anything on the Old Site
As a DM, having the right group of players is most important and I definitely run games based on what the group is interested in.
As a player, I can enjoy nearly any system and generally have had no issues playing with strangers at conventions, on-line one-shots, Adventurer's League at my FLGS, etc. But I do find that some games really need the right group. Dialect comes to mind. It can be a very moving game with the right game master and group of players. But it is iffy to play at a convention because it is too easy to get people who sign up for it that didn't understand the kind of game it is and ruin the "vibe."
