Italy but away from home

>>53725695
I'm from Illinois in America. DnD is booming alongside board games. We have a slight surplus of FLGS's but they are not made equal. It's very common to see historicals, infinity, war machine, etc at stores but warhammer is king with a lot of people switching to AoS.

Most common phrase is "I hate AoS story but the game is fun"

>>53725695
>Personally, I'm from Australia.
get the fuck out you shitposting convict cunt

>>53725695

I'm from Ireland.

Games Workshop was always big here, could buy 40k minis in any rural toy shop when I was a kid. Same with main stream trading card games like MTG.

RPGs got big in the last 10 years, the nearest city now has 2 gaming stores and the big book chains stock D&D starter sets.

The community is largely college league based with no big commercial conventions but I have seen a rising trend of pubs hosting boardgame nights and gaming tournaments though.

>>53725695
Brit Bong here, grew up in East London. Traditional gaming all my life. Bullied for it lots at school.

Now shit like D&D, TCG's , boardgames and miniatures are cool amongst girls and hipsters around London.

So on the one hand I'm suddenly popular as I can run an RPG game and play boardgames well etc, on the other hand I resent everyone I'm playing with for being fakes who would have mocked me for playing toy soldiers a decade ago.

Nig nog from freedomstan. Being in the military you are as likely to find nerds who play DnD as you are chads so most of my RPing started in the Navy. At some point i'm going to start playing again but for now I just live vicariously through everyone else on the board.

Being in a densely-populated wealthy east coast state means it isn't too hard to find games, especially if you're near a university. It seems like every little town has at least a comic shop and there's some real widespread interest in roleplaying among young people.

>>53725864
It's in the same vein that memeing about french cowards, pedophilia and police corruption aren't as much a problem than in the rest of Occident.

French guy living in China. City of above 10M people and I can't find a gaming shop. I'm told there are board game cafés about town, though. Some board gamers in the expat community, but for a city this size it's bloody ridiculous.
One thing that's nice is how easy it is to buy cheap minis online for their real price. If only there was somebody to play with...

England here, pre-uni I lived in a fairly rural shithole that eventually had a GW, then a FLGS. It stocks mostly Magic stuff though rather than tabletops which is what I'm into.

I moved to Nottingham for uni which is practically hobby mecca. Warhammer World is down the road and there's loads of game shops all over, including those gaming cafe things where you can go play and get a coffee.

Spanishfag here.

RPGs used to be something around these parts, but most people of my age that were into it have either migrated to New Afghanistan(aka United Kingdom) or are married and with kids. 9th Age is a thing, with some people playing, but most are into Infinity right now.
Rolewise, I know there are some Pathfinder groups around (including mine, though we haven't stared yet), but most RPG groups in this zone are into Vampire and/or Werewolf, and most of them are a bunch of weaboos and fa/tg/uys and girls.

>>53726091
My compatriot here knows the pain.

Kentucky, US. Home of pure breds, inbreds, and bourbon.

There are a few shops around but they mostly cater to card games. The only place selling books charges double the going rate so Ive ordered mine from online.

But from what I've heard, there is mostly WoD and DSA going on...
War games (/gamers) are a mixed bunch like they should be.

Indianapolis, Indiana. Present home of Gen Con. Gaming is very big here, with a GW store up north, 4 Game Preserve stores inside of a 30 minute drive, the only North American Good Games, Game 2 die 4 and Saltire. We do not suffer a lack of shops.

Obscure I'd say, though people start to take interest in it via anticafes, rolecon.ru, etc. Adventurers League and Pathfinder Society are present, ofc.

Feeling like finding a group interested in less known systems like GURPS and Shadowrun (not on 'pls generate my character for me, I don't care about rulebooks at all' level) isn't easy. Don't play M:tG or 40k, can't say anything in this regard.

Rulebooks are sold via online shops, scarce assortment in LGS last time I checked.

I notice everything these guys said is true over here too. Especially how big boardgames got. I also think that the players and DMs around here seem to be overwhelmingly good, but outside of the eventual meetup I don't get much contact with them. It's always enjoyable, though.

There's a convention near me every year, lots of good local stores for buying books and dice, but everyone seems to be buying online and playing with pdfs. I feel like that's increasingly common everywhere, though.

Fellow ILbro reporting in, but I've been living in CO for about a year now. Old place still a shithole?

Silesia here. Can't tell you anything about RPG scene here because I'm not playing it but MtG and 40k are pretty alive - they are two mainly played games here. Also some people are playing x-wing and AoS but not as many as the first two games for sure

>>53725695
Polish here. The TTRPG scene is unfortunately in decline here, but you can usually still find someone to play with. Warhammer Fantasy was and still is the king of all RPGs here. From what I know VtM and CoC also used to be quite popular, but now it's hard to find a group for them.

Denmark, South Jutland.
I live far away from any gameshops, but the one time I visited the one closest to me was pretty good.

Minneapolis here. I feel like MN is basically ground zero for tabletop, which I guess makes sense given the Midwestern origin of RPGs. I can get to at least a half dozen FLGSes with simple one or two line bus journeys, and there's more in the burbs. The games I'm hearing about in different groups are all over the place, Ars Magica, Shadowrun, OSR D&D-ish stuff, etc. Finding other people who play is trivial.

>>53726810
From a friend that's in Buenos Aires I've heard Old World of Darkness still has a big scene.

>>53725695
Paris, France. My tabletop circle is pretty decent. I'd say about twenty people. Though we're a bit closed off from what you'd call "the scene", so I don't know about it. But I think you'd have decent chances at finding associations to play, in my country.
I was part of one when I lived in Brittany (western France). 70+ people in it.
Also plenty of original french rpgs. And the larp scene is pretty decent too, from what I know.

>>53725695
Virginia, my city has had a couple game/comic shops pop up recently, mostly MtG or wargaming related. Good number of ttrpg players around but the public groups are either vile or dull and everyone plays with friends. Everyone runs everything but MtG at home or in private groups and buy most of their shit online because brick and mortar prices are obscene and selection is limited.

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, here. I've heard we've got a good scene here but I can't be bothered to socialize enough to see any of it.

India.
People here love playing chess and everyone here LARPs as a nationalist.

>>53727312

See, I heard that too. I used to follow a blog that uploaded mostly WoD pdfs and most of the followers were OWoD players and DMs. Dunno how the NWoD/CoD fares right now, the last I time I tried to buy some of the books none of the stores I usually visit had them.

Reporting in from the land down under, specifically regional Victoria. Although my town is on the Princes Highway, so that makes it less regional than, say, Wilson's Promontory.

The scene here is pretty reasonable. There's a group or two, and plenty of the shops in town sell Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic cards. Of course, said town is a half-hour's drive away from the town I actually live in.

Though God knows why the owners of the local lotto shop and a fucking newsagent decided to stock Warhammer, especially since a proper gaming shop opened a few months ago.

I've never understood this. My father was a rural hardcore mormon and he got me into DnD. He doesnt play but he was looking for something to help me when I was a loner in high school, heard about the game, researched it, saw the satan accusations, and decided the lies were lies.

He keeps pressuring me to write books.

>Son I'm proud you joined the army, but have you written your stuff in a book yet?
>Im glad you married, have you written a book yet?
>Teaching is a good job, and you can write your book in the summers!

I love him. Sorry I derailed my own post.

>>53728123
Gladly not.
Actually one of my players who used to be the DM before getting engaged got in the way of spending much time on beeing a DM wanted to run a DSA campaign with the group due to him feeling shit about not beeing a DM anymore.

He then decided that he doesnt want to run a game where every turn essentialy boils down to calculate the income tax ravenue of a medium sized country, as he liked to put it.

But yeah in general my players grew up on... German fantasy. And by that i dont mean German folklore but stuff like "The Dwarves".

You know, super conservative Tolkienesque fantasy with elves and dwarves and Orcs.
I grew up with Dune and my setting is kind of a mix of Morrowind and Nausicaa and they have trouble adjusting to it.
I actually tried to make it easier for them by having their characters hail from the land of generic fantasy and kind of playing Wizardry light, them slowly discovering more advanced technology and coping with the fact that it boils down to a game of cowboy and indians, only they are the indians.

That's why. It's like if all you ever heard growing up is that you should never associate with niggers because they're all shitty people. Then you do research on niggers and find out that it's a minority of their population that is shit.

and im serious about not knowing it either.
Shadowrun and DSA is kind of the stereotype of german RPG players.
But since i exclusiveley play with my friends who all only recently got into PnP i got no idea at all.
I just met that guy at random at the university who saw us prepping some char sheets.

The game our group played before was called Dungoen Slayers which is a pureley D6 based german RPG with the most generic setting imaginable. Also simplistic mechanics if you are a martial.

But it did the job of making character creation realy fast.
believe it or not thats a huge barrier to entry to many newbs. "wait itll take two hours just to make a character who will then DIE?"

Our old DM did a bit too good a job of hyping the idea that character death is very common.
As a result my players now keep expecting me to kill them at any moment before the campaign has even begun.

Commifornia reporting.
Plenty of players, mostly fantasy and DnD, but there's a pretty sizeable 40k scene out here. There used to be a Games Workshop in the mall years ago but it's since closed. There's a sick model shop in my hometown that does really good painting, they painted my little Grey Knights team for me and there's a Black Diamond out in one of the wealthier cities.

I don't know what type of ESL you are but I'll humor you.

>what drives u into this old games?
Tabletop games are more creative, flexible and social. Video games are some of the most rigid media experiences available. You can create your own unique visualization of a book and a movie only lasts a couple hours at most; in a video game that expectation is that you will execute a predefined series of inputs over the course of 30+ hours. I play vidya too but tabletop allows you to exercise your creativity, and unlike other media are social almost by definition.

>how did u have known bout them in era of computer games?
Dad had pic related when I was a kid and I used to read it before bed.

Brazil, for all I know there's a huge LARP scene where dudes shoot each other at the favelas. For real now, I hang out a bit at a hobby store where people buy Magic cards and there's a lot of RPG books to purchase, so I assume there's some sort of scene scattered around, out of my sight.

>>53728409
>what drives u into this old games?
They're a lot of fun, as opposed to video games have almost no restriction of what's possible, allow you to truly unleash your creativity and, most important of all, they're a fucking social activity, playing multiplayer video games with friends will never compare to having a TTRPG game night
>how did u have known bout them in era of computer games?
It's not like they've completely disappeared, you hear about them here and there. Although in my case, it was my parents who got me into them, they were quite active players when they were in uni.

The games workshop shut down maybe 10 odd years ago.
At the moment it's pretty much comprised of me and 5 friends.
However there's a book shop in chi, maybe 20mins train journey away, that sells pretty much anything you could ask for, and runs mtg nights every month or so.

Neverwinter Nights got me into D&D. That was my first CRPG and one of the first games I finished. After that I just started to read the 4e PHB's, then I got into Pathfinder and now I'm running 5e.
What drives me to TTRPGs is the amount of interactivity and creativeness that they provide. No videogame can compare.

So each weekend we meet up and play board games, one night a friend brought DnD to play, and it grew out of there.

>>53728380
I dont think theyd apreciate it.
It just doesnt realy fit the way our group performs.
I tried getting on some spooky atmosphere before but the bravado of my friends irl doesnt actually allow for it.

They also dont like stuff like atmospheric music etc.
Again its very hard to get them to move on from tolkien copypasta and its an uphill battle.
Already had several people dropping out.

THe paladin dropped out because i explained to him that he cannot be a paladin and also a murderhobo.
I know at the end of the day the game should be about the players having fun. but god damn it i gotta give em SOME rules.

The campaign we played before the one i DMed ended with them burning down the village they were supposed to save and i learned my lesson from that.

Right now what happened is that they actually lost a fight and i had them be enslaved. Theyll now have to either free themselves or perish.

If you are in Buenos Aires you will find a lot of people, mostly closed groups but search on facebook groups and they Will let you in for sure.
Wargaming wise, there's a few clubs, both in CABA and provincia. Mostly GW Games, although KoW is growing a lot.

I'm from the Northwest of the country so it's a struggle in general (RPGs and boardgames not so much, but wargaming is literally dead), the same situation as our spanishfags friends posted.

Budapest, Hungary.

I'm pretty sure there's an active scene for most stuff, I only played DnD with my mega-normie friends though. It was actually a very pleasant surprise.

I'm buying my first space marines soon. There's an LGS in town and according to their site they don't have jack in stock, so you'll have to wait 1-2 weeks for everything besides the 3-man marine box. I'd like to play sometime but I used to be a depressed cringey loser who grew out of the social retardation in college and I'm now overly reluctant to associate myself with anything that would remind me of those times. I don't know what to expect from the local 40k community. Which doesn't seem so small, which is weird considering how poor people here tend to be.

TCG are bigger than ever and tabletops are very popular nowdays. 10-15 years ago there were a few stores in the city focused on MTG and a couple of games, I realise the scene was popular when it started appearing on the news and even making public spaces just to play tabletops.

As for MTG (dependending on the store) FNM, Commander Leagues and overall tournaments have a steady playerbase who always go.

Another change is that there are far more gurls playing nerd games.

Burger here, specifically southern PA.

I've got at least 3 LGSs I go to for various things since no one store seems to have everything I need at once. I frequent one the most because the staff is great, it has the most varied community and it's got the best pricing. That 20% discount on GW products is a fucking lifesaver.

Got into it by a friend having bought the 4e starter set. Not knowing what I did back then we switched to 3.5. Never really even played a game of that. After that it came to 13th age, went neat, played a few games. But we don't really have a consistent player base. Last time I met with the guy who initially got me into P&P we played around with Riddle of Steel. I'd love to play more of it.
And why I enjoy it? Like another anon said, it offers freedom(tm) that no vidya can match.

With traditional games you can make your own story. In any RPG video game, no matter how well-crafted, you're still ultimately playing through a story that someone else has made and your interactions can only change so much. Traditional games give you a lot more freedom of choice in that regard because you can change anything on the fly, including the rules of the game itself if you need to. The grand majority of people will never make their own video game for example, but anyone can make a campaign in D&D or GURPS or whatever, and a lot of famous fantasy authors these days have written entire book series about their campaigns, Dragonlance for example. Even in established settings you can still forge your own story the way a lot of people on /tg/ do with homebrewed armies in 40k.

Ultimately it's that freedom of choice and that support of the imagination that gets a lot of people into traditional games. Pic not related.

In every city I lived I could find rpg club relatively easily. Roll20 is not bad, you can find games, and that's how I found my regular group (3 years of gaming with them for now)

It's better to be bilingual if you want to play tho, a lot of good RPG aren't translated, but fortunately we have a lot of good french RPG.

The hobby is not well known at all. Recently, because of some big youtube channel, it's a bit more known among the 20 something.

I was in a theater club when I was younger, so I already liked impersonating someone I wasn't. I'm also a big reader and writer, and I love a good story and crafting one with my players or the GM.
There is a lot of freedom in the game, you can do whatever you want, tell the story you want, play the character you want in the setting you want. You don't find this in any other entertainement. And the way the event turns is always surprising, at least with my group, because real people are deciding things on the fly, there is no predictability or foreshadowing, even the GM can go full impro and surprise you at every turn.
And yeah, it's nice to have good fun with people you like.


>how did u have known bout them in era of computer games?
It kind of dropped on me. My first flat was a big one, we were three and we needed two more roomates. We found two friends who were both DM. They introduced us to the hobby and we liked it a lot.

Ottawa, Canada.

D&D 5e is getting more and more popular with younger players and their parents (most of which are returning to the scene now that their kids are old enough).
Pathfinder is still popular-ish, it defiantly isn’t growing as fast as D&D though.

Board games are massive, not as big as in Montreal, but almost everybody is into them.

There are even a few LARP groups that I mean to check out.

From the Goldie in Australia.

I mostly play 40k due to relapsing. I have gone pretty deep in to it (~5000 points of one army that I play with most weeks, three different other armies not even assembled). I felt compelled to get the army I wanted when I was younger, poorer and GW was not publicly traded.

There is a good FLGS nearby, with mostly all games covered. Also a university just down the road with a rather large gaming group.

There's a good DnD group I am friends with.

All in all, I feel I am very fortunate to be able to get a game when I would like to play.

>>53725695
U.S., all over the place. Grew up equal parts in Southern California and Georgia below the fall line (that matters). Now I live in Texas because my military career deposited me in San Antonio and it's a good place to build out of.

San Antonio's table top is all over the place, with tons of great stores and helpful, friendly people from across a cornucopia of male, female, race/ethnicity, player experience and attitude.

The unfortunate reality, though, is that you've got a lot of retired military guys (it being Military City, USA), which you figure would be really cool, but they are all former officers who are living out their never-was-could-have-been years of commanding armies on the table top. I know, it still sounds cool, until you realize these people spent 20+ years legitimately believing they were superior human beings to the people they ordered around, and then think they can treat you like that despite the fact you're a civilian and was never in the military or that you're both out of the military and have been for years. They aren't really interested in the games beyond using them as ego-fuel for the torches they carry of the battles they never got to command, and they act like complete douches for it.

For instance, the X-Wing scene is dominated by these assholes, and they require you to ante up ships and cards to play in the tournaments to seize control of. One guy actually suggested that, in order for me to play on "his" table, I'd have to go buy a ship he wanted since nothing I had interested him.

Aside from those guys and the handful of That Guys™ that lurk around, it's not too bad. Lots of stores, plenty of variety. The singular Games Workshop store in the city is operated by a full-blown sperge whose total love of all things Warhammer makes him 1) a very good salesman 2) incredibly helpful if you want to learn anything about it and 3) impossible to dislike. I actually feel bad for calling him a sperge, despite it being kind of true.

The gaming community here is quite odd. Card games are super popular as far as "nerds" go. Magic has always had a strong presence. Board games are getting super popular thanks to hipsters. Catan has never been bigger. So most FLGS are doing well, thanks to the influx of Board games being bought up which is good. Tabletops like DnD are still fairly underground, not hugely popular which can make find splats and core rules of anything that isnt DnD a bit hard to come by.

>>53725695
Norway, Trondheim.

Tabletop scene is alright, I guess. Relatively easy to find people to play RPGs with. D&D and variations thereof seem to be dominating, but I've mostly been playing GURPS and other stuff. The store nearest me carries mostly D&D, but also a fair deal of Star Wars and Shadowrun stuff, so I'd guess people also play those.

Boardgames are also relatively prevalent, but I think the wargaming scene is small. The biggest presence seems to be X-Wing, but I don't really know that side of the community well.

People have told me MTG is getting "big", but I personally haven't encountered it.

>>53730628
The suburbs are mostly a wasteland where gamers have kids and only game in tiny little cliques with no interaction with other gamers at all. No RPG stores in Mississauga, for example, and Oakville was dead when I was there.

Bochum, north-western Germany here.

It's actually pretty thick with nerds around here. There are multiple game clubs in the nearest cities. There is an actual fantasy Tavern in town, where you can basically meet neckbeards of all flavours on any day on the week.

The whole situation is also improved by the presence of serveral universities in the Rhine-Ruhr-Area, being the hives of villany that they are, there is a steady supply of new blood to the local hubs of nerdism.

All in all, it's really damn good. Hobby-wise, i've never regretted moving here, and while my 40k club died around five years back, Kill Team and the rise of the 8th has had a very positive effect here, so i've been able to found a new tabletop club back in january and have been playing tt every week since then. There are also a lot of other tabletops around, mostly that Star Wars game, Warmahordes and Infinity.

Regarding rpgs, there is a ton. As other german Anons have already mentioned, Germany is pretty big on Das Schwarze Auge and WoD, but Pathfinder and Shadowrun are also quite common. And, of course, there are dozends of smaller games that have players around here. Personally i manage three different parties on a bi-weekly basis. Two of them in Splittermond and another one in CofD.

Attempts were made, but pretty much every given person in here claims to know what they are doing, and then get surprised by basic shit. It's too much hassle to bring each group of new people up to speed mechanically, socially, and ideologically every single time before their schedules fall apart.

Present.

I'm from Poland, the fandom here is terrible, because RPGs began here in the 90's and no one knows what is old school D&D or Runequest. They think that storytelling is the true role-playing and that D&D is hack and slash crap.
However in recent years there is strong retro current that promotes 70' and 80's style of play.

I'm from Scotland. Couple of game shops and comic shops in my city, but I don't spend much time in them.

I started off playing WFRP and GW specialist games when I was young, and there definitely has been a trend of cooler, younger people being more willing to get into TTRPGs and geek interests over the past 5 years or so which I think is neat. Unlike others seem to I've rarely encountered that these are "fake" fans, probably one of my fave D&D sessions ever was with entirely new players.

>>53731423
Also in Poland Warhammer is kind of national religion, and what's worse it isn't just normal Warhammer, but pathological version called "Autumn tale" where heroes are bound to die from hunger or disease. Some say that our national emblem should be replaced with logo of Warhammer.

What do you mean by storytelling ?

Burger, grew up in a military family, so I've moved around from state to state. Currently residing in Texas.

Theres actually quite a lot of lgs here where I live (3 or 5 I think), though its a tad inconvenient for me since I live 45 minutes out of town in the middle of the prairie on a ranch with shit internet. Still, the options are there, I've just been more focused on Uni to take the time and apply for games there. Though recently I found out about a group from a friend that's nearby, so I'm going to see if I can get started with them next Saturday

Mormons should not be counted when talking about hardcore US Christian Fundementalists, they're already weird due to being non-Nicene compliant, and they tend to have a higher tolerance level for anything that is drugs, sex, and drink due to their constant pressure of "free agency" or whatever.

Plus add the fact that most Fundis hate them, and there is very little synergy going on between them

poland, silesian region
around my parts it appears people play mostly DnD, although I keep hearing there is some warhammer scene out there, not that I seen it.
I only ever had chance to play system that wasn't DnD it was cyberpunk 2020 and that fell apart after two meetings.
I don't know if I can't meet people to play with because I don't put myself out there sufficiently or the scene is dead - I'm led to believe there isn't many players because during my years at school and the university I met maybe two people that had expressed interest in playing pen and paper games.
Even on roll20 polish speaking group has really low head count.

where are you at guys?

Italian masterrace reporting in.

The rpg scene is still underground, but at least the majority has stopped bullying you for "using the internet to chat with people", or for "playing videogames" since everyone and their sisters are playing on their cellphones, and for "liking superheroes movies" since it's an industry made of gold.

Moreover, the vast majority of the rpg scene is either still on d&d/pathfinder or belongs to a noisy share of forgite wannabes behaving like hipsters on their periods, berating you for not playing some kind of obscure niche roleplay game by Baker or Edwards.

TL;DR: I still have more than one reason to withhold the fact that I am a respected member of society AND play rpgs.

I guess as an expansion, I live in South Australia.
Card games are the easiest, very easy to find some mtg anywhere you go. Theres some weekly Netrunner casual tournemants in the city. Even stuff like weiss schwarz gets occasional play in certain stores. Yugioh is almost universally despised, i've had several flg store owners talk to me about how they hate the playerbase.

40k and AoS pretty much only lives in GW stores, from my experience the communities in them are small but tightly knit. Any other wargame is non existent other than X-Wing.

Tabletop rpg's are pretty dead if your not a hispter playing 5E or Pathfinder.
You can get a game of either at a flg fortnightly league or something similar, anything else requires a personal friend group.

Salty about the last one because im a huge shadowrun fan and I had a group of five to play it with but two got burned out and one left the state for about a month.

Another Trondheimer here.

Mtg in trondheim. 2 drafts nights per week. Weekly standard. Monthly legacy. Organized through facebook or ask at the lgs. FNM drafts is a good place to find casual or edh groups.

The lgs sells rpgs, but I've been playing with my group for years so I have no idea about the "scene". Boardgames are pretty mainstream, miniatures are for hardcore nerds.

Southern California. I wouldn't know if there is much of a ttrpg scene since I'm not really interested in playing with strangers that are not at least friends of friends. I used to have a pretty good group but everyone has moved away or are more in 40K now.
I keep trying to get my other friends to play but it's like herding cats, dude.

Check out the documentary "In Utero." Besides undernourishment being a factor, stressed out mothers produce hormones that fuck up the development of the brain.
Whether the trauma comes from financial stress, lack of security or because of a straight up war going on, the children of stressed out mothers are going to suffer from more kind of mental illness, including anxiety, ADD, etc.

Scot here, absolutely no kind of GW or hobby shop here, me and my mates are the only kind of scene here - have to get my shit from a city a 30 minute train ride away, which still barely has any big shops

From Texas, the scene seems decent here although I only just recently got into it when I started uni, we have a uni club that's decent sized and it's not too hard to find a game through various uni pages if you can't/don't want to attend the club for whatever reason. There's also quite a few comic and hobby shops around here that do tabletop evenings though most of them do more magic than rpgs.

-Literally nonexistent. The closest thing to a gaming community in the ex-Yugoslav isn't even IN the ex-Yugoslav, it's a group of students in America who keep trying to bring back their shitty GURPS to our country.

One from Lithuania here

Queensland, Australia.

At least in my area (Brisbane North) there is a surprisingly active scene for wargaming. There is a decent number of FLGS and the local club that I'm aware of (Queensland Northern Knights) seems to have a robust membership. I've been there on tournament and event days and they can get 20+ Wargamers pretty easily just from the local area.

RPGs seem thin on the ground though,
