This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Bren;1098375RPGs never were designed for those players. Originally RPGs were designed for wargamers. The players who "don't care about that stuff" rarely if ever GM. They rarely if ever buy rules. They just were not and are not the target market for RPG systems.

Absolutely true. But I was never referring to GM preferences.


In my area I get Mostly This:

  • If your players notice the difference and just don't care at all that there is a difference,..
Which is contrary to your experience - but seems to be the norm in my scene. Where most of the players never GM.

I know of Some of This:
Quote from: ;1098375
  • If you are saying they notice the difference, care about the difference, but just don't care about it enough to demand the GM changes to a different system.
With the caveat that I don't know a single player, nor have heard of an instance, where the players demanded a change of system. I'm in very 'vote with your feet' kind of scene I guess.

Which is probably why I don't know of anyone running any of the heavier systems like HERO/Gurps.
