[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 8500631, member: 7028579"] I think the OP is weirdly off topic, but are there too many systems being produced today? I would say...no. But I bet 80-90% of the backers of new systems ever run them, and if they do it’s for a lark, one off. Compared to say board game kickstarters where I bet 90% of the backers eventually throw down the game and give a play, I suspect many backers of new ttrpg systems buy them just cause they like the genre and like new takes on it, but mostly they use them to inform on how they run the games they actually do play. It’s a no, there aren’t too many cause people like new ideas, but a yes also because so few people ever play them. A ttrpg requires sustained time investment, over weeks and months to play, and I suspect very very few backers of new systems invest that time. that said, majority of purchases of new adventures in popular systems probably also go unplayed too, I think the ttrpg community just wants way more than it can play.
