Lately I've been very tempted to get into FFG's L5R living card game. I liked the original, when i played twenty years ago!
So I hit up the community on FB, in various iterations, including broader communities on the FFG page and even discord.
I've asked three separate instances of the local group, which is pretty sizable for a gaming group, and not one response. Not fucking one. I've asked when people play, if there are people (more) local to me. Crickets
This breaks my gaming heart so right here I'm pouting, fuck it.
That said, this is a trend I'm seeing in games. All these wonderful products come out and no fucker wants to ever play. It was the same when they did the Warhammer Conquest game. I'd been looking for a 40k ccg or something like that - an angle to consume to immerse myself in the universe without playing the minis game - for ages. Exactly the same. I repeatedly posted looking for games and was cold shouldered. It's cliquey; they all play with each other they've no interest in even responding.
So it's either that or games that just get short shipped or under stocked. Honestly there might be an embarassment of riches in terms of a golden age of gaming, but to actually find a game? If your experience is anything like mine, fageddabouddit!
All I need now is someone to persuade me L5R the LCG is shit anyway (i tried it, I liked it. It's really rather atmospheric and classy)
