As I’ve said before, The Heroe Journey 2e is my favorite game. But games like THJ 2e, Orange Sky Stories, Beyond the Wall, and recently the adorable “Forgotten Ballad” by Eric Bloat, I’ll prep them and get them ready…no one shows. No one wants a game of hope.

I recently started running “The One Ring 2e” and I *am* excited about it. But to be honest, I’m running it because no one will play a hopeful game like THJ2e. I’m honestly using the brand power of LOTR to carry the game that would have been THJ2e.

But if I put down “Mork Borg” or “Dungeon Crawl Classics”, it will fill up in a day and I won’t even be able to accommodate all the players.

I don’t know why my favorite genre of games doesn’t capture interest. I love grimdark too, but it seems everyone else’s favorite.
