Is it just me or is there a lot of TTRPG groups / discussions in Google+ specifically. Is there a particular reason for that? Drive to host PDFs, Hangouts for gaming and general nerdery for Google?

Yeah. G+ is a failed facebook killer that replaces Yahoo groups quite handily.

BNW was a hot mess of a game top to bottom though. There's nothing inherently wrong with someone trying to make a class-based supers game, most supers RPGs that let you build your own character using a pointbuy menu have a tendency for chargen to become a gate to actually playing the game, but BNW's classes ran the gamut from "about on par with one of the X-Men" to "not as interesting as any of the X-Men," the setting was some really weird alternate history with JFK as tyrannical President for Life and no-poo poo old west style gunslinging duels being in vogue, and of course being a Pinnacle game published in the 90's it naturally had a metaplot to boot. It had a few interesting ideas but, yeah.

The Lost Causer poo poo in PEG games is ridiculous. They actually made it worse in DL:R and HOE:R
