[QUOTE="Eyes of Nine, post: 9675145, member: 99786"] this is more of a response to the not-dave2008's: each of us who live in countries where the standard of living is relatively high - say at US or better life expectancy - can expect to live roughly [B]1000 months[/B]. At age 59 I've probably got only 250 months to live, maybe less maybe more. Also towards the end there, I doubt RPGs will be my main focus... And my shelves physical and virtual are stuffed with games I bought that I haven't played yet. I still play a lot of new games because I'm in an Indie RPG group, with rotating GMs who each pick something for us to play for 3 or fewer sessions. My co-founder and I created the group to literally force us to play some of those games we've backed, bought, or were given and now own. (although even my "indie RPG" group just started a 3-session 5e14 game :rolleyes:. To be fair it's to support a new GM who has actually never GMed D&D of any flavor. Creating a new GM way more important than adhering to an arbitrary rule about "indie" RPGs) All of which to say, I'm 100% with dave2008 - life is too short (really, 1000 months ain't long!) to concern oneself with whether one is playing the "right" games.
