Add to my instant NO list: "Forged in the Dark", plus "Powered by the" just to be safe.

(I mean, they were already there, just didn't think I'd need them here.)

[james_davis_nicoll]

Of course, having as I do a stack of new(ish) RPGs, the next one I will be in isn't any of those but 13th Age, 2nd Edition.

How long until there are more TTRPGs than TTRPG players?

[patrick_morris_miller]

Make that 'players willing to play TTRPGs other than dee and dee' and I think we're already there.
