No surprise! :thumb: It is also because, except for CoC, they were nicer and much cheaper than US or UK ones. Best example was RQIII (Between 450 and 550 FF for AH version, 249 FF for Oriflam french one). Runequestement votre, Kloster

In the gaming industry, probably only Mattel can rival Hasbro/WotC on the legal/financial level (really the same), and Mattel is not manufacturing RPG. If they could buy Chaosium, perhaps they could withstand going legal vs WotC. Runequestement votre, Kloster

30 means 30 games. CoC was over 80000 games. Runequestement votre, Kloster

Those 85% is giving money to Hasbro/WotC. Probably more money than the total size of all the world rpg industry outside of WotC combined. Runequestement votre, Kloster

In addition to that, IP laws in non US countries is completely different, and if different words are used, it is VERY difficult to prevent usage of ideas. Runequestement votre, Kloster

The figures I managed to get back were (several years ago, about the time when Coc 5.5 was published), when combining US imports, british (Games Workshop) imports and french language publishing: - Worlds of Wonder : Below 50 (Never published in french). - Superworld : Around 30 (Never published in french). - ElfQuest : Around 200 (Never published in french). - Ringworld : Unknown figures (Never published in french). - RQII : Around 2000 (Never published in french). - RQIII: Around 15000 (Published in french). - SB1 : Around 30000 (Published in french) - SB>1 : Unknown figures (Never published in french). - Hawkmoon Around 10000 (Published in French) - CoC : Over 80000 (Not counting 5.5). 2nd best selling RPG ever. - BaSIC. : (WoW BRP updated) Over 50000 (Published in french).

:focus: No, not for my part. Champions is so much better at it. I reserve BRP for Fantasy/Modern settings (never tried Futuristic ones with it). Runequestement votre, Kloster

Sketchy, to say the least. OK, now I see what you mean. Runequestement votre, Kloster

What I was replying to was: "And most D&Ders don't look at and buy non D20 products." Runequestement votre, Kloster

I like to remember I was not the one GMing WoD games. Runequestement votre, Kloster

For me (in far away Europe), TSR never went below 50% of gamestore exposure, even if they were losing marketshares (to WhiteWolf, RTG, Games Workshop and some others). Runequestement votre, Kloster

Quite good. Even if I don't like SAN for other things than sheer horror and that it should be kept out of RQ, this is a good attempt to curve PLAYER way to drive their characters. Runequestement votre, Kloster

Exemples? :innocent: Runequestement votre, Kloster

OK (Just checked), but, for me, this is not as visible as the Champions influence. Runequestement votre, Kloster

:innocent: Runequestement votre, Kloster

It already WAS the dominant force, even before OGL! True, even if Mongoose tries hard to push the other way. Runequestement votre, Kloster

Language? Runequestement votre, Kloster

Even if I don't like RQM, they at least propose official HeroQuesting rules for RQ, a point Chaosium and AH never managed to cover. Runequestement votre, Kloster

As far as I understood, AH never controlled the editorial line on RQIII. Chaosium retained it. But I agree on the quality comments! Runequestement votre, Kloster

As an ex-fencer (foil and epee), I woleheartedly agree. 'Land of Ninja' proposes a kind of rules for that with the ki-skills. Runequestement votre, Kloster

As I explained, from France were Super Hero rpg never managed to succeed, I never managed to get more. That does not mean those companies never produced anything else. I know for instance that Silver Age Sentinels had quite a number of extensions, bu I never managed to get hand on one. For the figures, I don't know, but for the analysis, I agree. Runequestement votre, Kloster

Agree!!! Mine was a blue box, A4, about 5 to 7 cm height. It seems from your descriptions it was the 2nd. Yeah, true. Magic, energy projection, HTH Attack and Bionic brain (if I remember well what I rolled up around 20 years ago). Yes, and I like it. I would not say it worked better than in Champions, but it worked well. Runequestement votre, Kloster

This I have read, but I think the Champions influence is more clear (The point system for buying powers, with advantages and limitations, forex). Runequestement votre, Kloster

Even for a very specialized one, I found it bad. It's true I've never been a fan of teen heroes, but this one ... Almost the only one I find acceptable are the one about the Something Academy, for Champions New millenium (the one using Fuzion system). Runequestement votre, Kloster
