… do you have any?

That is, rules for a game that you have purchased but have not played. I suppose a "not really" reply would be appropriate if you are have serious preparations (not intent or philosophical musings) underway to play a new set you have bought recently.

As for me … unfortunately … yes. :(

WeeSparky10 Apr 2012 3:24 p.m. PST

Panty Explosion. I cannot find anyone to play with me.

Redcurrant10 Apr 2012 3:29 p.m. PST

Lasalle, March Attack, FOG-N

Plenty of 'em.

Sundance10 Apr 2012 4:07 p.m. PST

Yup – a couple of sets of them. I've read them – several times. And working on figures for them. Will play soon.

Mooseworks810 Apr 2012 4:21 p.m. PST

Many.

21eRegt10 Apr 2012 4:28 p.m. PST

Kreigkunst and the Fear God and Dread Naught family of games jump to mind.

JRacel10 Apr 2012 5:18 p.m. PST

You buy games to play them . . . . . I knew I was doing something wrong.

I read a lot of them, but playing is rare due to time constraints these days . . . .

No – not really …

I'm pretty good at making sure I get some credible trial games of almost everything that comes my way (certainly everything I'm sufficiently interested in to purchase)…

Some things then get ignored because the game fails to tick enough boxes (but seldom just through withering unplayed)

brevior est vita10 Apr 2012 6:13 p.m. PST

Nope. Those that I don't play, I sell to someone else.

platypus01au10 Apr 2012 7:42 p.m. PST

Yes.

Wargods of Aegyptus is just one. Plenty of others.

Lasalle, OHmu, crusdaer, probably a few others.

Sane Max11 Apr 2012 2:31 a.m. PST

too many to list. Sucker for new rulesets.

Scorpio11 Apr 2012 5:56 a.m. PST

Yep, about half the collection, in fact. I've read them all, but many never make it past that first contact.

John the Greater11 Apr 2012 6:25 a.m. PST

I have a few. My most recent purchase was "Nuts", even though no one in my group (myself included) does WW II.

vojvoda11 Apr 2012 6:54 a.m. PST

Many! Too many to count. I am a rules junkie and read over them several times but play them only from time to time. Most are used to tweek my own rules.

Several. I paint more than I play.

Gennorm11 Apr 2012 9:05 a.m. PST

A quick count without consulting my bookcase came to over 30 not counting downloaded freebies.

skinkmasterreturns11 Apr 2012 11:48 a.m. PST

Paint more than play here,too.Also I tend to play the same rules for awhile,so new stuff has to wait.

mckrok Supporting Member of TMP11 Apr 2012 4:26 p.m. PST

I buy rulesets and read them just for their perspective and good ideas. Typically, I won't even have an intent to play them.

I have lots I have bought but not played. But I started working my way through a lot of the Ancient rules a few years ago. So far I have done 13 rulesets I have not played before. I plan of doing at least another 10-15 Ancient rules over the next few years. That will still leave lots of non-ancients (and some ancients) unplayed. I buy them to read them. I love reading rules. But I also feel sorry for them – they call to me at night "play me play me" (in a high squeaky voice as per The end of The Fly). Rules were written to be played, so I hope to eventually play a lot of the ones I've acquired.

Yes.
