Meh.

I'm indifferent to Star Wars games. All of them. I just can't get excited about any of it.
That’s where I’m at really. If there was just one movie (the first), as with the one RPG, I’d be perfectly content with my lot for Star Wars. And, beyond this, the fanbase is just annoying now and the IP holders don’t really know what to do with it.I'm indifferent to Star Wars itself, movies, videogames, what-have-you, but I'll always love the 1st edition Star Wars RPG by West End Games.
I have no feelings about indifference.
I'm the same. Which is why I stay out of discussions initiative. I've got no interest in even talking about itIm indifferent to D&D 5e.
I pretend to have opinions but really... fundamentally? I could take it or leave it.
Its cool, I guess. But... meh.
I mistake them a lot, myself!I was going to post something that would have blown this thread wide open. But I just never quite got to it.
Oh wait, irrational indifference, not irrational procrastination.
I like the first (historically, not in-universe) trilogy. The rest are meh indeed...but I'd always remember StarORE by Arc Dream!I'm indifferent to Star Wars itself, movies, videogames, what-have-you, but I'll always love the 1st edition Star Wars RPG by West End Games.
That does not look like 'indifference'..."Weird West" options for every other western RPG.
That one is funny as unusually enough even the people working on the novels etc are explicitly on record as saying there isn't any major attempts made for consistency or "canon", saying they just take what they find to be the most interesting combo of different past material.When I hear people start to talk 40K ‘canon’
That too. I discovered anime in the 90s, when it seemed like Western television was in a slump. At first I was excited to have access to an entire new medium of fresh, non-cliche stories based in cultural assumptions I wasn't familiar with. It didn't take long to figure out these stories were even lazier and more cliched that the ones I was already fed up with. And the people I was swapping these shows back and forth had a way of making it kind of an ordeal at times.Most rpgs based on anime fail to grab me as I find most anime super boring and poorly animated. Some notable exceptions, like I’m loving Pop Team Epic and One Punch Man, but in general find way better work in Japanese manga and wish we had more rpgs based on those.
I could take it or leave it, Charles on the other hand. . .That does not look like 'indifference'...

You haven't watched Sailor Moon? Why?
Because it's childish.
You haven't watched Dragonball Z? Why?
Because it's boring.
You haven't watched One Piece? Why?
Because it seems like the voice actors are competing to see who can be most annoying.
You haven't watched Black Butler? Why?
Because this show about a 10-year old boy selling his soul to a 6,000-year old demon in exchange for the chance to take revenge for his murdered parents seems uncomfortably like a love story.
I'm indifferent to the financial success or popularity of the RPG hobby. I'd be gaming with friends even if no one else on the planet was, and really get nothing more out of D&D currently being "in" than I did when it was associated with social outcasts.
Superhero role-playing games
I have nothing to say about them; I've never played one and I've never wanted to.
I like early 40K and I've been reading a reissue of one of the early books (GW game fiction was pretty decent back then). I know they went through and retconned bits of the stories, like squelching any mention of squats, but at the same time I'm surprised by what they did NOT change... stuff that would make the hard-core fanboys' heads explode.Although I really like WFRP, everything about 40K leaves me completely uninterested in it. When I hear people start to talk 40K ‘canon’ my indifference collapses into itself like a Black Hole.
It’s the one genre of gaming that seems to pass me by - mainly because I just can’t get into Champions.Superhero role-playing games
