Thanks! Mostly appreciated

It's lousy, to be honest. To label us as a market would be presumptuous, and thank means we don't get much stuff, or get it too late. So it's Amazon or e-Bay or a specialized webshop most of the time... since we really lack a good gaming shop. There's literally no chance of a RPG convention happening, though there's some activity in the LARP community (life-sustaining efforts, unfortunately.)

So I'd say RPG population here is really a small minority, but heartily devoted to hosting and playing good games. If one finds a way in, (s)he in for some good time. Despite all of this, people tend to stick together and there are games to be found, gamers in my midst (late twenties - early thirties) preferring White Wolf and GURPS systems to D&D. There's a surprising number of GM's who've invented their own systems.

I can only imagine how all of this differs from your experience... or, does it? I'd like to hear from you. =)

Thanks for the welcome! I remember some towns and cities from the similar angle, i.e. studying all the busy people going somewhere while I'm waiting for my bus/train to arrive... a wakeful meditation of sorts

Hey, the quote is from a song by The Smiths called 'Paint a Vulgar Picture' from the album "Strangeways, Here we Come". One of my favourite Smiths songs.

That's the one. When I was running the adventure and got up to that part I was like "This is going to be UGLY, but they should be alright in the long run..." WRONG. It's still a great adventure though. Thanks for the XP man.

Hey, Hamburg is beautiful indeed. Thanks for the positive vibes, there are far too few around on Enworld right now.

Thanks for the XP, dude
