I'm much better at not falling into the sunk cost fallacy. But this conflicts with my goal to only buy and back things that I'm actually going to play. I find with games, I'll put in a fairly significant investment of time in a new game systems and push past my reaction to drop something that seems like too much work and will try to at least run a one-shot. Usually, when I drop a game now it is mostly that I'm just putting it on the backburner, with the hope to run a game in it when I have more time and play in person. Three examples over the past few years:Mage: The Ascension. I put a lot of effort and a not insignificant amount of money on PDFs. I ran a couple of session but I just didn't enjoy running it, so I stopped that campaign just as it was getting started. Part of it was also due to time. My players could have been the rules masters, but I was finding the work of creating a campaign and adventures on top of my main D&D campaign was just too time consuming. DCC Dying Earth. I really want to run a campaign in this setting and with the DCC system, but not until I either can run it in person or until their is good VTT support. The Expanse. The rule system was easy to pickup and I enjoyed the rules, but after a one shot, I found that I enjoy consuming books and TV in that world than running games in it. The core book is the only one I bought, plus some PDF adventure material that came with the Kickstarter. But the physical book is more of something I read as a fan of the show. I doubt I'll run any games in it again. An even bigger issue is finding players and time to run some of the more indie, experimental systems.</blockquote>
