Untapped Markets?

Postby jdrakeh on Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:18 pm

There seem to be places that would benefit from an escapist hobby such as fantasy roleplaying which remain largely untapped by the hobby (e.g., Russia). Can you think of other areas of the world without large-scale exposure to tabletop roleplaying?

I dunno. Do they have any money in Russia? Last I hear it was twelve dollars for a loaf of bread, but that was a couple decades ago. Personally, I'm less interested in trying to market in some foreign country when there are possibilities right here at home.

The reason I ask is that some of my free games have spawned dedicated discussion forums in Russia, Germany, and Poland. Sadly, I am fluent in none of these languages (although I am learning to read/write Russian in Cyrillic). That said, there seems to be a viable market in many of these countries for certain kinds of games (notably "story games" and rules-light systems with an emphasis on player empowerment). And, yes, Russia's economy is much better now (I have a few friends who have served in a security capacity over there during the past few years).
