Lately I've found that I'm much less interested in backing new games, and much more interested in things that provide inspiration. 2 years ago I got myself the Star Trek RPG core book. A month ago I finally started reading it. I got about 80 pages in and barely got to the rules. I also backed a Kickstarter for /Dungeon., an OSR style game that plays as an old style RPG computer game. I didn't get very far into that either.
On the flip side I devoured Valley of the Flowers, an Arthurian setting, and Aquilius zine issue 1-3, and every issue of Delver that comes out.
In a similar vein, I've been very enchanted by the Idea of playing Tonks! Miniature game with a single Tank (Tonk) on each side, with the rules on a single page? Sign me the fuck up!
I don't have any great thesis about this, and don't claim that my personal preferences at the moment are indicative of any wider trends. Just something I've noticed lately, and probably due in large part to having a 4 year old. There's only so many hours in the day and at the end of the day when I have one to spare, there's little mental energy left to devote to something new.
