[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7060848, member: 6803664"] Well we had a 1e game that ran at the local shop from summer 2012 - summer 2016. It started off as just a couple of us vet players & the store owner farting around on a dead slow day. And then over the next few weeks it grew as some of the magic players expressed interest. Then we added another former 1e player. Then the two magic players brought in a friend - who in turn brought in another friend.... By the end of 2012? We had a stable group of 9 (counting the shop owner) & numerous others sat in for a session or two. Every other year at GenCon I make sure to play Dawn Patrol. It's a chit & chart based game of WWI bi-plane combat. Definitely not an RPG. Likewise at GC I almost always squeeze in a game of Rail Baron - a railroad board game from Avalon Hill that we played as kids in the early 80's. I'd love to play these throughout the year, not just 1 week in August, but local interest just = 0. Ars Magica? I finally got to play in a game of this a few years ago. If the guy running it had stuck to the system & genre? I think it'd have been awesome. But he didn't, his game was crap, & he effectively poisoned the well to the point most of the group won't touch the game again. :( [/QUOTE]
