I've been watching the sales of Solipsist, and I've been very interested to see where the issues are going. For example there have been a number to Germany and France, but none to the UK (outside people I know, or sold to at Conpulsion) and it got me wondering why.

For those of you who track where your sales go, do you notice any interesting distributions? Are there regional preferences for Indie games, or for individual games?

OK, what went on at Ropecon and what was it like?

I'll spin off threads about individual games (AP, etc.), but keep this about the con in general.

It was a good con. It was well attended and had a laid back feel to it. I would say the male/female balance was about 50-50, which is astonishing to anyone used to a heavily male dominated con.

They had a beach volleyball court set up, plenty of LARPs, CCGs, Wargames and RPGs too. A really high percentage of the attendees were in costume too, a lot of it computer game oriented, or anime.
