Hi guys, its me again 
Some of you may remember me, 2 years ago I was doing some small research about Russian RPG scene here at rpg-world.
I'm still curious how are the things going, and what has changed since then.
2 years ago as far as I recall Studio 101 was publishing their first games - Fiasco and Savage Worlds Deluxe, and they planned to release Красная Земля and Волчье Солнце settings.
I wasn't researching much the topic for the last two years, I've seen only they've run an IndieGoGo campaign for Deadlands and Красная Земля was released. Its good to see that they are still at the market and they are publishing new RPGs like Gumshoe or Apocalypse World.
What I've seen the Rolecons are still running, the FAE was translated recently and there is a Dungeon World in works, but generally thats all of my knowledge.
If someone could write something more about what was going on for the last two years in your country I'd be very very grateful.
For example Katikris in this thread wrote that this year there was a "boom" of the printed RPG releases in Russia, it'd be nice to learn something more about it.Maybe some new publisher has appeared? How about RPG conventions, there's more, less of them? What about the hobby in general is there a feeling that there is more people attracted to the RPGs or maybe all the attention are getting another tabletop games - like boardgames?
Write anything what you want to share, in english or russian it doesn't really matter.
* And what about Polish market? To be honest the situation did not changed much since 2 years. We have still few publishers like 2 or 3 (Fajne RPG, Galmadrin, AMG) which publish like 1 or 2 titles per year, some of the authors are self-publishing their games without a help of the publishers, and sell them in the volumes around 100-300 books, the bigger titles like Call of Cthulhu or Deadlands sell in around 1000 books so the sales are not terrific. The RPG sites and forums on the net are the still the same, some of them are dead and there's not much traffic in there, new sites are not appearing, some people migrated to the Facebook and G+ groups, but the general perspectives are not quite good. One of our biggest RPG publishers Portal Games switched totally their focus to board games only, our two rpg magazines which published on the net have vanished last year. You can't earn the real money on the RPGs in our country it's 100% hobbyist activity and I don't think it will change in the following years, board games are still more and more popular but RPGs as I perceive get the same small level of attention and it's still a niche hobby.
