I use to push games that I was interested in, but now I have a stance of being way more beholden to whatever table I’m running at. The line “does not have ‘Indulge Paul’s insatiable lust for novelty’ as a primary goal” hit close to home for me.

I bought M:Y0 like a year ago when Paul was writing about it. I had to sit on it for a while waiting for an opportunity to bring it to the table. I managed to bring it to the table as practice for a convention one-shot and managed to get 2 to 3 sessions in.

Now a days I make pitch for multiple games I’m willing to run then let the table vote on it. Last vote it was Mutant, Blades in the Dark, and Godbound. The table voted for Blades and I had to put Mutant back up on the shelf. Getting table buy-in has become paramount which stings a bit because I do love novelty.
