[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9271388, member: 7044462"] I'm strongly in the camp: "Play what you enjoy playing". Learning new system requires time. TTRPGs are collaborative play, so it requires time from all the people in the group. If you all spend couple of hours reading and learning new system (for more crunchy stuff), then couple of hours playing game and if you don't have fun, or if it's less fun than your usual game of choice, one can make argument that it's time wasted. Time is very precious and limited resource. Also, there is monetary cost, but that is secondary. For some people, TTRPGs in general are their hobby. For others, Game (insert your favourite system) is their hobby. FE at this point, i would call myself D&D and WH40K player. Those 2 games are my hobbies. I have certain amount of time per week for each of my hobbies, so to play another game, my usual game goes away for that week. I think someone mentioned conventions for trying new games. That's awesome. If you live in USA. There aren't that many conventions outside of USA, and majority of european conventions are in UK ( UK alone has about same number as the rest of the Europe combined). Non gaming conventions that do have gaming in their programs, usually have only PF/D&D games, since those are most popular and easiest to find GM-s. [/QUOTE]
