I'm curious about the main nationalities of this board

Mary's toymaster had a shelf of em.

New Jersey, USA.

Being in a densely-populated wealthy east coast state means it isn't too hard to find games, especially if you're near a university. It seems like every little town has at least a comic shop and there's some real widespread interest in roleplaying among young people.

It's in the same vein that memeing about french cowards, pedophilia and police corruption aren't as much a problem than in the rest of Occident.
Nowadays it's more about djihadist and politician corruption.

Brazil
I can't find other people playing war games (Battletech is a favorite but never found players, just two guys that know what it is) but board games, on the other hand, is blooming it is easy to find players and new games

North Jersey here. Can confirm.

Russia, Moscow. I have an RPG shop reasonably nearby, but I never go there, because it smells like death. I play with other russians over the internet.

Austria.
modern german fantasy is a disgrace and im trying to reeducate my players into accepting interresting premises.
Its not easy.

Why does every game shop in the world smell like balls?

St. Louis, Missouri
It's ok I guess

>Spain

The 4 or 5 bigger cities have a big and rich enough amount of people for an actual tabletop scene, even if it's still a very small thing compared to other hobbies.

Anywhere else you're just stuck with the same 4 guys for all your life.
