I keep an eye out for new #TorgEternity streams, and through one found a pro GM who was going to run a campaign through Startplaying.games. A game ran from an adjacent time zone, even. I reached out to him, got a better sense of the campaign, and signed up as a player.
With three players lined up, we pushed the session zero out a week to see if at least one more player would sign up, then when no one did, the whole thing was cancelled. He had a great reason, basically boiling down to needing his pro-GM-as-second-job games to make money to help his family out, and some TTRPGs he runs have more of a draw than others.
I'm not upset with the game folding, but I am a bit saddened that one of my favorite weird games doesn't have much of a player base. The publisher, based in Germany, has done little to get the game into game stores here in the US--I found one copy of the core rulebook in 2018 in a Friendly Local Gaming Store, and haven't found anything elsewhere except for one store in Atlanta when visiting. They also do zero advertising or promotion through interviews. None of the staff are full-timers either, so it's kind of a miracle this game even exists. The English-speaking online community feels like it's primarily older cishet white guy grognards who remember the first version from the 90s, which--nothing wrong with that but I'd love a more diverse community there. (And more folks in my time zone.)
