Pathfinder 2

Satasupe. It's a Japanese ttrpg. The name is a shortening of Saturday Night Special, and the game focuses on zany crime capers. I did a translation of it for a friend but nothing much came of it. If your character ever became too good or evil, they became an NPC, which was a nice mechanic to keep players from acting like saints or demons. https://d66roc.wordpress.com/2011/08/24/happy-15th-anniversary-satasupe/

I've watched people play MOTW and Paranoia. Both look plenty fun.

I'd also love to try one of the WH40K RPGs, but they seem like a big commitment. And like you said, it's a lot harder to find people who want to go beyond D&D

Shadowrun. I love the idea and most of the mechanics. But all of these editions, all of them confusing and too crunchy for the lack of competent editing... Except Anarchy. I'll probably get around playing that one. Now if I could only get my hands on a physical copy...

Also Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game. I love the source novels, while the mechanics of the game seem like a lot of fun. But physical copies are worth a fortune and it's not easy finding a group who would be down with the setting. I might be able to give Lords of Gossamer & Shadow (Diceless) a go, though.

I have so many that I’ve come across over the years but never had a chance to try. Many of them have been mentioned by others so I’ll just throw in a fresh one: Mouseguard.

The setting just feels so cozy but also heroic. Something akin to a video game like Tunic. The rules are actually quite dense though, so I’ve never gotten buy-in from any players. But it’s one of those golden egg games that I’d really love to play some day

Why is it so hard for people to read the blurb on the right?:

I've heard so many crazy stories about RIFTS that I've always wanted to play it. But none of my friends wanna play it, and I've also heard it's an absolute nightmare of a game system to actually play it.

Genesys. Technically. I've played the Star Wars FFG system that eventually became Genesys (and loved it), but I haven't played Genesys itself. I even own the Genesys dice, but I lack anyone else to roll them with.

I want to play a lot more Chronicles of Darkness, but most people prefer fantasy or sci-fi and those who want urban horror prefer World of Darkness. They don't market it well.

I've also never played Blades in the Dark game. I think I need someone else to DM it for me first. I don't really have PBTA down, my mind hasn't quite grasped it yet.

Exalted! I did get to play...one game before that group imploded. Also any of the World of Darkness settings. No one here wants to play them, the only people that do get way way way too into it and are very unnerving to actually be around. Great for them, but I just rant to meet one a week, not a life of it.

Alien, that's a game that caught my attention.

And also Aquelarre, is a game set in medieval Spain, where legends and gods are real. The game describes itself as a "Demonic medieval rpg", and their rules are based on BRP, so it's quite familiar on the basics.

Star wars FFG and Deadlands. I love the flavor of both. I doubt I'll ever play star wars, but some of my current groups will probably give deadlands a try.

From way back in the days, Valley of the Pharaohs. While not my first game that attempted to be historically accurate (that honour falls to Chivalry & Sorcery) it was the first such game I found that not only tried to be historically accurate but also supplied loads of supporting material for it. (This was more important pre-Internet than it is now because it was both time-consuming and hard to find good, solid historical information that was usable in play.)

But I could never interest anybody in playing it.

Starwars 1313. The fact that Disney cancled it after saying they wouldn't is why I'm not playing it.

And baldur's gate 3. I just don't have the money cuz I got a lot of dentist bills coming real soon.

I would like to give Scum & Villainy a go. Have the book, but not managed to get a game. Yet! I won't give up. :)

I bought Factorio like four years ago. I'm just waiting for a six-month period in my life where I can do nothing but play that game, because I know that as soon as I start it, that's what the next six months of my life will be.

pretty much a 3rd of my steam library...

If I had to pick one, maybe Kerbal Space Program

@Lianodel Spire. We we're like 80% close twice to set up a group though.

Last of Us (both) for me. I am extremely scared of playing it but watched someone playing on YT without commentary. The narrative is truly amazing.

Also my spouse is playing Silent Hill 3 after finishing 1 and 2 and I also loved him playing those!

Persona 5 looks amazing. So does dragon quest 11. I must play all games In a series in order. Its... and autistic thing I think but like, I really can't bring myself to play a game if I haven't played the previous... so persona itself was a spin off of the main shinmegami tensei series, which itself was a continuation of the megami tensei games. I played and beat megami tensei 1, megami tensei 2, and am currently playing shin megami tensei. The original persona was a bit hard to get into but now that I've played the predecessor I'm looking forward to playing it properly after I finish shin megami tensei 1 and 2, I think that's about the time persona started. Shin megami tensei 3 nocturn also looked cool and I'll be ready to play that one as well after SMT2. Soul Hackers 2 looks cool too but I have to play devil Summoner first which doesn't have an English translation, so I'm having to play it with Google lens which is slow going cause my Japanese isn't really that good.

I'm also a completionist... playing dragon quest 5 currently and I'm in the final dungeon and only have TWO monsters to catch but goddammit the Hyperanemon just WILL NOT JOIN ME. I've spent something like 12 hours trying to get him. Probably more. I sat on the entire plane ride from Baltimore to LA for 5 hours grinding the same battle over and over and didn't get him, and also watched several marvel movies. Frustrating... but everything I think, just go beat the game and move on, I'm like, but this is the second to last monster and I'll have them ALL.

Edit: God I wasted so much time. Thinking about it again, I did a search and found out you can't catch the Hyperanemon on Mt. Zugzwang, only in the post game dungeon. Fml.

Minecraft.

I enjoy a good builder game and 'Minecraft' seems to be among the best of them. But I reached a point of being fed up with having to sign-up for various things and creating accounts, just to be able to play a silly game, years ago. And 'Minecraft' is still, for some reason, locked behind Microsoft Account Creation.

It's the same with Obsidians 'Grounded' and X-Com 2.

And I simply refuse it.

Even more so if it requires a separate storefront launcher than the one I'm using to pop-up and launch the game. (Looking at you, 'Origins'..) That's an instant refund.
