You're right. But it seems the game was still confidential at this time. Its popularity eploded with second edtion by FFG.

After actually playtesting one of my games pretty extensively, I'm looking forward to getting another to the table.

Looking at it from a purely mechanical and wouldn't revisit as it stands, I could answer The World of Synnibarr (1st & 2nd Eds.), Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century (3rd & 4th Editions), Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game (2nd Edition) (really any with the system), Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (1st Edition) (or 2E)... but even with those, I keep the games and get ideas from them.

I've played a lot of games - especially during the lets just try a lot of games period of my experience, and I've never quit mid-session. I usually try to dwell on the side of the good that I got from the session rather than the worst, so it's hard to answer this.Looking at it from a purely mechanical and wouldn't revisit as it stands, I could answer The World of Synnibarr (1st & 2nd Eds.), Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century (3rd & 4th Editions), Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game (2nd Edition) (really any with the system), Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (1st Edition) (or 2E)... but even with those, I keep the games and get ideas from them.

We currently have two packages lost after coming to Jax.
So I just refuse to buy from anyone using the USPS. I won’t even trade games if the sender won’t use UPS or FedEx.

I will have to wait until it goes on Amazon or another site. All my preorders from Modiphius end up lost or delayed. For some reason, USPS has major issues with anything coming into Jax. My last three orders were about 4 weeks late. One came to Jax and then to Orlando and then Puerto Rico for 2 weeks before finally coming back. One came to Jax and then to Arizona for a couple weeks.We currently have two packages lost after coming to Jax.

Planetfall is live !
Sounds cool. I see it's a pre-order, with a pdf. If I read that right, it sounds like you get the pdf right away and the physical copy sometime later in February?
I like the sound of what the game offers, so I will likely get it at some point. Maybe after the new year.

The game that stopped us cold? Mist-Robed Gate. I honestly think the designers had the best of intentions and it played to Wuxia themes, which were big with the group of the time. However (and my memories are hazy as to how exactly this worked) but you were supposed to stab a knife through your character sheet to initiate a conflict. In any case, the game, intentionally or not, came across as indier than thou and we gave up on it.
There are other games that I have had issues with and would rather not play again, but might do so with the right group. But Mist-Robed Gates is the only one we just abandoned, mid-game, and will not return to.

There was a time when the Wendesday night group was big in numbers, like 6-8 active players rather than the four we have now, and at that same time we were very much into trying new Indie RPGs, most worked well, some we had great times with, but one, one just failed so hard at the table we stopped playing and ended up with an extended discussion of roleplaying game design instead. . .The game that stopped us cold?
