[QUOTE="Gorgon Zee, post: 9716214, member: 75787"] I appreciate that. As I stated, his statement wasn't totally clear. Well, if we define pretty much any game that is less obscure than DramaSystem as "popular", sure. But his actual statement was: "While it's true that [I]a certain few core books[/I] are absurdly good value if and only if they're attached to incredibly popular games," Even being generous, I cannot call Pendragon, Fiasco, My Life With Master, AD&D and Pendragon "[U]incredibly popular[/U]". And the statement also restricted to core books only, which further limits. And not even all core books, just a few of them! Overall, I was pushing back against the post's general theme that it's rare (only for "incredibly popular" systems; only for "core" books) for games to be "forever games". If I read him wrong, then no worries! My belief, backed by convention games lists and personal experience is that it is common for people to buy and play games "forever" (defined as at least around 2 decades) [/QUOTE]
