One of the countries I always thought would be a natural for DL is
Australia, what with it having a "Western" tradition of its own and all. I
was even more convinced of this when I saw how many Canadian DL fans were
here (or at least used to be); another country with a "Western" period in
its past.
However, Shane told me after his visit Down Under that Vampire
LARPing is way bigger there than any pencil & paper game. That surprised me.
