Who cares?

[Varianor Abroad]

Any group can overcome the game. It doesn't stop a sucky system from starting to grate on the 3rd or 4th session....

As Goblyn said in this thread, add me to the big pile o' gaming prostitutes.

Give me your THAC0, your BAB,
your percentile scores
yearning to be rolled;
send these, the playerless un-dice-tossed, to me;
I lift my rulebooks beside the convention-hall door.

 

[A'koss]

I just picked "a few"... there are certatin kinds and styles of games I like and those I just don't care for. A good group can smooth over a lot of reservations though.

 

[Umbran]

The rule I've generally found true runs thusly: There is no game so bad that the right GM and players can't have fun with it.

The corollary: There is no game so good that the wrong GM or players cannot ruin it.

 

[Zappo]

I'll play almost anything, if the DM and the players are good. There are only a few settings or systems whose foundations I can't stand and which I'd rather avoid regardless of the other players.

Exactly my point. I'm not quite that laissez-faire about system that I can completely ignore a stupid one, even with a fun group.

Ayup. We were having fun playing Rifts for a while, but there came a point that I just got tired of fighting the system.

 

[TheAuldGrump]

A wide but not infinite number of systems - there are some that I just don't like and won't play.(though it has to be pretty darned bad...)

There are settings that I have no interest in, Cyberpunk? Yay, call when it's over.

There are themes that I will not touch. Evil games where the PCs wade through the blood of innocents and glory in every second of it? No thanks. (Evil games with a theme of redemption is another matter.)

[Ruined]

My time is limited and there are some really good systems out there, so why play something I don't truly enjoy? I've tried a lot of systems over the years, and I know I can have fun with my group of friends in most circumstances. But I've recently passed up on a Star Wars campaign run by a great GM because I don't enjoy the system nor the world setting. Another example of my DM Snobbery, I suppose.

 

[twofalls]

I'd play most things (and have, probably, now that I can cross M&M off the list). Will not play anything with a heavy oriental or anime theme, though.

You got me there Rodrigo, I despise anime. I can't say I'd play anything.
