That’s always a strong possibility in a convention full of strangers. It gets worse if your tastes are slightly off center for gaming nerds (Firefly is a semi-okay television show and it is a much worse injustice that Terriers got cancelled.)

That’s why (for example) our Requiem game was primarily about teaching Requiem; how the characters interact, basic die pool manipulation, a typical Vampire Problem, how characters get situated in the setting. Like, it didn’t involve a real deep dive into Requiem, because how would that even be feasible with two people who never played it before?
