That said. . . Warhammer 40k, Descent, or Arkham Horror, though? I could get players in a heartbeat. I can even find people interested in old games like Outremere. And card games, collectible minis games, and dice games? Players abound! Right now, almost all of the RPG supplements I've bought since 2005 have gone completely unused, which makes them a waste of my money. And I've prepped dozens of games only to find out afterward that nobody wants to use X system (usually after they were all gung-ho about it prior to prep). So, I guess it's a matter of my spending loads of money on RPG books but having to come to terms with the hard reality that without an available, willing, player pool, books are worthless.</blockquote>
