Which RPG(s) have you always wanted to play but could never find a group that was interested?

Some of mine are Space 1889 and GURPS Discworld

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.
