[QUOTE="Scrivener of Doom, post: 6474321, member: 87576"] At the risk of going all Four Yorkshiremen on the OP, I live in Mindanao in the Philippines and what you have described is [I]luxury[/I]. Manila does have some shops and players but that's in the north and that's also Manila: basically, Manila is a layer of the Abyss that has escaped the pages of [I]Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss[/I] and crossed over into reality. I would rather be boiled in oil than live there. I keep trying to get my wife's family and the assorted hangers-on to have a go - largely because, like most people in the Philippines, they're mainly unemployed (the real unemployment rate here is around 60%) - but it's all too hard. Fantasy-based online gaming is popular but it also requires minimal engagement or English skills and it seems D&D is just too much of an effort, like sleeping for fewer than 12 hours a day. But I live in hope. They know I am online. They see the minis. They know I am clearly enjoying it and that it's a stress release for me. I just hope they will crack soon because my son is a bit too young to be taught how to play for a few more years.... [/QUOTE]
