Is it me, or is it the system?Anything called Colon: the Clever Comment – sorry, I just don’t get those games. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />Twilight 2000 – Hate the system, hate the fluffTraveller 2300 – Hate the system, love the fluff – I must find a rules system that will work for the background.Aftermath – much too complicated.Villains & Vigilantes – why is making a decent superhero game difficult? I wish I knew!Top Secret – Never worked as a spy game, I could never figure out why until I played James Bond 007, which works.Star Trek RPG – Played once – Captain: ‘Standard Orbit Helmsman’ - Me: (roll) er, critical failure!
