Fragged Empire is an unavailable game type

When creating a new game, I chose to use the Fragged Empire character sheet template. It's my hope to try out the Fragged Empire game system. Unfortunately, I hit two limitations once the game was created. First, "Fragged Empire" is not a valid selection when trying to fill out the "Playing" field. This means I cannot properly post a listing for a Fragged Empire game. Second, in the LFG Search interface, entering "Fragged Empire" is not a valid entry in the "Playing Any Of These Games" box. This means that players looking to find a Fragged Empire game are unable to do so using the LFG Search. Both bugs make it impossible to both list and find Fragged Empire games, despite the fact that users can select a Fragged Empire character sheet template for their game.

Not a bug. See the Wiki page on the LFG tools, especially the section about Other Games," linked here: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Looking_for_Group#Other_Games" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Looking_for_Group#Other_Games</a>

The games dropdown menu exist to help standardize the options available (example: 4E vs. 4th Edition vs. D&D4, etc). No matter how many games are listed, some may not make the cut. Games are added to the list periodically. This ensures obscure listings gain greater visibility when sorted via the Other Games option and helps keep away “empty” search listings for underrepresented titles. If you feel a game should be listed, encourage your community members to play and post often. The more community attention a title receives the more likely it is to be added to the list.

Character sheets are mostly created by community members. Thus, you will likely find a number of obscure games with character sheets that don't have a selection on the LFG list.
Thank you for the replies. The answer is unfortunate, but understandable. I guess I'll need to do a few extra backflips if I'm to find fellow players for Fragged Empire or other such games on Roll20. Hopefully with the game's increasing exposure—being distributed by Modiphius, and with three new books and spinoff settings on the way—it will become easier to find players on venues like Roll20 in the future.
