[QUOTE="EyeontheMountain, post: 3487260, member: 32338"] Japan I am pretty sure D&D has never been the top RPG in Japan, but it is well represented among the multitudes of others. Japan has a strong card game/RPG/anime population, and most of the people who do one seriously dabble in the other two, as they are seen as pretty intermixed here. Especially anime/RPCG games are published and popular here, and a trip to any games store reveals a huge number of systems. years ago I went to gaming mini-conventions where there were about 30 tables of RPG and 4-5 tables of MTG. Of those 30 tables, there were about 12 or so different systems being run. Almost impossible to keep up with, and I doubt anyone on this list has heard of them anyway. Recently a lot of the core WOTC 3.5 books have been translated into Japanese including much of the Race and Complete Series, and I even saw Red Hand of Doom today. Pretty surprising. But at least at the store I go to, they do not seem to move at all. Dungeon Tiles sells well, but not the core books, or they sell slowly. Eye [/QUOTE]
