[QUOTE="payn, post: 9237180, member: 90374"] I do quite a bit of research before I buy things. I try not to get stuff I wont use, but thats a challenge in this era of kickstarters and humble bundle deals. So, I do have a number of things bought sight almost unseen and a good number of not played yet. One that I bounced off of was Aces and Eights. A big part of that was how crunchy it was. It seemed complicated for the sake of complication. Also, the GM was not proficient with it so sessions stalled out as we scoured the rule book for understanding. Too hard to get to the fun. I'd try it again under the proficient GM who was excited about the system. Not often. I like to give things a fair shake before writing them off. However, there have been times where I was not of mind to GM a session/campaign of such system and leave that to someone more enthusiastic about it. Trying as playing under an enthusiastic GM? yes. Trying as forcing yourself to run something you are not sure of? At most a one a shot if you are curious. Otherwise, im a firm believer in not GMing games you are not fully behind.
