I wasn't even sure you could buy a new physical copy until I checked (you can for a very reasonable $30), I rarely see anyone talk about it these days, and I've never seen it played in the wild. And, heck, when I first played Rise of the Runelords I never predicted that Paizo would end up producing a game that rivaled D&D.I'll echo what some others have said.  I was particularly impressed by Free League's Alien rpg.  I hadn't planned on purchasing it because I didn't think Alien would provide me much game play, but I was so impressed by the rules I picked it up anyway.  The rules are simple and they effectively adapted it to the original movies.  (At least I think they have.  Covid has prevented me from actually playing the game this year.)  But I don't know how well Free League games will be doing 5 years from now.</blockquote>
