This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: NinjaWeasel;808127I think you're absolutely right.

One thing I've noticed about the Indian colleagues I have here is that they tend to be particularly fascinated by anything Medieval and European and love visiting castles, hearing about British history and seeing the old armour and weaponry in museums. I guess this is also why a lot of them love watching Game of Thrones. It taps into some idea they have about how Europe once was that is fascinating to them in the same kind of way that Americans and Europeans are often fascinated by, say, Japanese or Indian history and mythology.

Yup. South American gamers, for the most part, would rather play just about any other setting than have to play one set in south american history of any period.

The exception is that this doesn't apply to modern games; they're quite willing to do a modern Unknown Armies campaign set in Uruguay, for example.
