I don't envy AJ right now, but I am def interested to see what games are in the upper percentile of +1's.

He's a Jesus from the alien worlds. I'm sure he'll get by.

+1 Klonoa
+1 Quackshot
+1 Fatal Labyrinth
+1 Shadowrun
+1 Star Tropics
+1 GTA (1 or 2)
+1 PSO
+1 REZ
+1 Psychonauts
+1 F-Zero
+1 Alien Soldier
+1 Virtua Tennis

or if we go with Ultima IV it's free on GOG all the time.

I still don't think we should play a shmup or rpg...are we really not going to vote on the issue? Why would it be policy this year but next year it isn't?

Can't we just do 7 since it's the best?

Was it really a policy?

if a vote is that important to you on the issue it's fine with me.

It is in list of nominations, under "Other."

I understand where you're coming from considering how things went down last year, but TRPG, at least, just started up not long ago, and doesn't work on a monthly bases like TR or SOTM. Maybe it's just laziness, but I don't really see any need to filter out genres if we're essentially just selecting things based on popular vote to begin with.

Perhaps we could overlap with both SOTM and TRPG with TR. We could start an RPG at the same time the TRPG group does (one they've already picked or one that would fit into their schedule) and pick a shmup for TR that the SOTM folks would then be obligated to play in that particular month. That way we expose more people to all three groups and both popular genres get represented in TR. Is this a good compromise?
