It is much more acceptable in the States (best example is the forces RP groups, not really going to happen in HM forces). That is my experience as a non-born Brit that lived there for 13 years  but spent a lot of time with/in the states. Can be seen by the respective amazon ranks:PHB 4E: UK: 14,705 US: 6,461PFRPG core book: UK: 29,707  US: 4,434WHFRP 3E: UK: 71,317 US: 47,100Dragon Ages Set 1: UK: 71,733 US: 57,894The US has a much higher percentile RPG playing population than the US. The same can be seen, I think, with a lot of geek things... like cons and dressing up (whatever that is called). UK doesn't cut it as accepting of geeky-ness as the US does.As for game style, sorry for the digression, I cannot comment. Here in NZ (closer to the UK in attitudes than the US) in my rural community both my players are UK born, if NZ bred!EDIT: and the big book stores in the UK just don't sell much (if any) RPG books, a smattering, same as NZ <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
