RPG = hack&slash + farming...(in malaysia at least)  <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=":(" />   In my side of the world (same country with Aikuichi but just across the south china sea), i think one of the major probelm is that we don't even have a LGS (let alone one wif a F) so our supplies come from mail order and even so our only supplier has refused to mail order anymore stuff from WoTC because he said it was not profitable. Can't really blame him, the only ones coming up with orders in where i live in is probably just our gaming group anyway.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />   We had a gaming store way back but it eventually got swallowed by magic dudes and the D&D line of products just died off (or more like never started off in the 1st place). Soon after, the shop died too...  <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=":(" />   And with the exchange rate and all, books are VERY costly and my group (and i guess almost anyone if you add up the postal...) are almost unwilling to buy any of them unless they are very useful (like Spell Compendium which we haven't been able to get our hands on till now). Which is kinda sad since it makes me sigh everytime a new book is released and saving for them is going to take a long time...(that's if i wanted to buy them in the first place).  <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=":(" />   I think somebody needs to get over here and kickstart the whole RPG thing going on...but then i guess its not a very potential market unless you're bringing in magic or pokemon... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />   But all in all, we exist but not popular which can sometimes be cool cause we get these stares from people when we are flipping through the books in public as if we emenate (sp) some kind of mysterious aura around us... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
