Doors and Corners
And another thing that's changed for me (I was thinking about this on the way to have breakfast with my brother.)...
When I look at a new rule set/game, I immediately start to think one of two things:
1) Does my preferred VTT have the rule set already supported so I can just plug-n-play and/or
2) How difficult would it be to program/enter the rule set into my preferred VTT.
If the answer to #1 is yes, I'm more likely to pick up the game. If the answer to #1 is no, I then look at #2. If the answer is much past Simple or Quick, I stop looking at the game.
For example, I'd love to run a Star Trek Adventures game on Fantasy Grounds. However, the rule set is not supported except for a few fairly well made community rule sets. But even those rule sets take a bit of work to get them polished.
Now, I could and am capable of spending the time and effort to get a rule set together. But... and dis is a big butt... er.. but there are so many other things I could spend that time on that it's just not worth the effort to me.
Same with The Expanse RPG. I have a theme/extension all set up to run the game, but I don't have the data entry completed for the Reference Module. I stopped doing it because the ROI wasn't good enough.
