    I have been on a lot of RPG sites over the past few months as I have searched for a group and in that time I have noticed that alot of people are only interested in running/playing in one or two systems. It could be D20, GURPS, Rolemaster, WOD or only independent games.
    The posts will go something like this:

    "Looking for a game group on Tuesday nights from 6-10 pm. I only play games in the GURPS system or AD&D."

    I am perplexed. And I have to say that I just don't understand why anyone would limit themselves in such a way (Especially when your trying to find a new group). I've tried to but it just doesn't compute. I mean, I have my favorite games/systems and ones that I am not in love with but at the end of the day, in my experience, it is the people in the group that make the game fun, not the system or even the setting. So my query to you is: Why do people limit themselves in this way? What happened in their gaming life to lead to such an outcome?

    Thanks for the discussion! :)
