I was hoping to get some opinions on something that I've been thinking about for a while now. Does the wide availability of many many different RPGs make it more difficult to find a game? I’ll preface that a bit with some of my own experience. I recently moved from the bay area where my primary group was to the Phoenix valley. When I moved I wanted to get a game started up of Anima: Beyond Fantasy or Hell On Earth: Reloaded for Savage Worlds. I posted ads at my FLGS and lightly searched online as well. A majority of the people who I reached out to either didn’t know the game systems and were not really willing to try and learn something new or what was more common was to be told in return “Oh I’m only looking to play BRP/D&D/ORE etc” and I responded in the same way saying I wasn’t really looking for those games to play. After about a year of looking I finally decided “what the heck, a game is a game” and got into a Pathfinder game which I enjoy well enough. If either the individuals that I reached out to or myself had been more willing to try any of the plethora of games available I would have had a game together MUCH faster. Has this happened to anyone else? I love having so many interesting settings and systems available to me but I can’t help but wonder if it doesn’t hinder finding a group at some level.</blockquote>
