[QUOTE="Dethklok, post: 6144721, member: 6746469"] Hey all, I've been reading through some of the old posts, and one of the DM surveys got me to thinking about running a survey here at EN world. To start with I was just curious about what kinds of games everyone plays, what kinds of features they like in games, and that sort of thing. But eventually I started to wonder what kind of person even plays rpgs at all. Dave Arneson said that everyone will play an rpg, you just have to find the right game. But clearly most people aren't interested in the hobby. Why not? And why did [I]we[/I] get interested? Was it only because we grew up with them? Or would we want to roleplay just because that's the kind of people we are? Anyway, what I mostly wanted to ask was (assuming anyone's interested in this to begin with!) what rpgs should I even include in the survey? I made a list based on the one that EN world uses, but it had a lot of games I'd never heard of, and missed a couple I'm very passionate about. Does this look like a complete list to you?
