[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 628439, member: 1016"] Actualy playing in casinos happens right here in America. A Miami rpg club ran a Living Arcanis weekend at one of the tribal facilities for "that other type of gaming" earlier this month. In some cases, this sort of echos what I saw when I took my New Years vacation in Sao Paulo, Brasil this year. (And then came home to find out that I got laid off) There are some translations, but its easier just to buy the English language books if you speak English. The sad part is that you really have to love gaming or be rich to game in such contries because even a cheap game is like a small fourtune. A lot of gamers are not even touching books that cost $40 here because they are worth almost $200 of their own currency. I don't know if this is average gaming behavior or just how my Brasilian friends behave, but according to them ... There are quite a few female gamers in Brasil to the point that a girl can walk into a store without being the center of attention. If the store customers find out that she RUNS games, then you get the "ohhhhh, its a girl in the store." Reaction. People don't travel to the game store as much as Americans might, but when they do, they try to dress nicely and make a minor event out of it (like going out with your friends for a night.) When one girl showed me her "game store" outfit, I thought she was planning on going out on a date. :) Different countries, different cultures. [Edit: P.S. makes you wonder how our own culture would look at the hobby if gamers came to the store in Dockers, not Levis, and wore a shirt that had collar on it.] [/QUOTE]
