Mine is more an issue of time than of finding a group; we just want to play too many things. I would concur on the Space 1889 (Savage Worlds version in my case), and add Goblonia (I've played it once but really want to try again), Numenera, The Elephant and Macaw Banner and Scherezade, just to mention a few I have and not yet tried.
Numanera looks cool, but I can't get into the Cypher System. Have you tried any other games that use the system?
I haven't, no. What don't you like about it?
To me it's too quick and dirty, also the math is kind of weird to get used to. I understand that it's supposed to be more "cinematic", but that ain't my bag.
Ah, I liked the idea enough that I bought the rulebook. Trying to spin up a game for my kids right now. I feel like it should work pretty well for low-prep, fairly improvisational sessions, but I can understand why it's not everyone's bag.
I also like that it can work well for different genres, so not having to learn new systems for different games we might run over time should make it easier to get into and play.
