Even as an English-speaking country, it's still very rare to find RPG players here. There's alot of Magic players, people that play CRPGS and MMORPGS, wargamers and even board-gamers but comparatively much less people that are actually playing TTRPGs. I am not really sure why, but one theory I have is that Singaporeans prefer the rules, structures, maths and min-maxing of boardgames and wargames instead of the open-ended, more cooperative storytelling nature of RPGs. We used to have a regular D&D public organized play that for some reason, eventually trended towards something like an MMORPG (it died out pretty quickly after that).That being said, even the profile of gamers in Singapore are different from those that I played with in the UK. The gamers I mix with in Singapore tend to have a more light-hearted approach to RPGs, while those in the UK seem to take it much more seriously and would delve into the world, details, games etc more extensively. That's just my perception, and could be more of a function of who I game with at various stages of life.</blockquote>
