All other english RPG books do come from the US (or the UK) and benefit more from the weak dollar and 1dollar=0.9euro. That means you get more bang for your buck.. I mean euro...Europe and in this case Holland in particular is a different animal then the US, so interests might not always be the same, Shadowrun for example has a large european following and the company has taken advantage of that in the last few years (making a couple of european oriented books).I think that buying online has made a big impact, there are probably more fans of d&d then there are of SR (for example), but they tend to be buyers that buy the d&d books blindly. Buying online is often a lot cheaper (or it can be) and more convenient, and us dutch folks are ever so careful when we spend our cash. With the D&D books you tend to know long before hand what your getting and can decide wether you want it or not. The core WW books get a lot of preview coverage, the other books not, the same goes for most other RPG books.</blockquote>
