He happily played the probably-a-dozen-or-more other system we ever tried but flat out refused to try Ars Magica. In that case, we didn't play it. That group broke up not too long after that. That incident wasn't really a factor in the break up, but I think he & I were pretty much on different gaming tracks at that point.Heck, his refusal to play Ars Magica may have had as much to do with the fact that I was the one recommending it than anything else. We were butting heads regularly at that stage, & I wouldn't put something like that past either of us. (^_^)The only gamer I've gamed with who said he'd only play a handful of systems--prefering one particular system almost to the exclusion of all others: Our group wasn't a fit for him even though we were--at the time--playing his preferred system. He knew that before his first session with us was over.Incidentally, his preferred system was D&D, but not 3e. (^_^)</blockquote>
