Naah, none of these is exclusive to one continent only. And since they appeared and went worldwide so long ago, I don't think their origin would make a significant difference today. I guess europeans just dig this particular kind of RPGs. Oh, btw, just southeast of you, man. Nothing gold can stay.

Israel administratively considered to be part of Asia, but geographically it is part of Africa, while socially it is rather European state. I guess i vote for Antarctica.

It's been established many times on many places that role playing games have an easier time to be successful in Europe than anywhere else. They are usually also better received over here.

Auxilius Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I don't want to brag but it looks like Europeans are the Master Race™ when it comes to good RPG . I tell you, we need a new Lionheart game, where the story happens all over Europe. The game being good would also be an improvement. 2

Pyrrhic Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Never would have imagined there is such a big European following.
Messier-31 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Middle of Poland, but also other foreign places every now and then... It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...

Monte Carlo Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 It'll be interesting to see the regional sales figures a year after release. It might be that North American sales outstrip European by virtue of market size, what sort of metric is backers versus non-backers post-release sales for crowd-funded games?
