I figured I should start a poll on where Ravenloft fans are in this wild world of ours. When you answer the poll, please do supply more about stuff of note when it comes to playing Ravenloft in your area. Thanks!

Not much people play Ravenloft in this area. I'm the only person I know who DM's Ravenloft games, although I know that other people (especially in Manila) exist who do play RL.
Not sure I like being grouped with the Canadians, but....
There are plenty of D&D heads in Broken City MA, but I have yet to find other Ravenloft players. They hafta exist though. Cuz I was thumbing through G4 awhile back with no money in my pocket to purchase it. I went back a few weeks a later and that book was gone.
So I guess the RL players are secretive and move only in the night. Aside from my four RL players, which I made myself.

I'm from Greece. While I (like MSD) know very few people that play Ravenloft, the books in the store go away quite fast.
Also by checking in here, you'll find at least 5 Greeks including myself and Grug who doesn't stay in Greece. Since the Site has 200 members, it means that we are 2,5% of the members!

Norway here. More specifically western Norway, about an hour from Bergen, which is where the only shop in my part of the country which sells D&D stuff is located. I have one (1) player who stops by, say, once a month? This weekend we actually got 1/3 through NotWD. Yay!
So, no people at all play D&D in my vicinity (the guy I talked about live in Bergen), but as there is a Ravenloft shelf in the shop I mentioned, so there must be some people who play it.

As for the number of Raevnloft players in this area, I haven't found too very many people. In all honesty, I've been so busy with other things in life that I haven't spent a great deal of time and energy looking for other players. Much like alhoon and MSD, however, the Ravenloft books in the area tend to come-and-go rather quickly... I guess we are a reclusive lot.
In Estonia we currently have three stores that carry D&D stuff, I have seen Ravenloft Campaign Setting, but other stuff I have ordered through one of them. Books take a month at most but my Shadow Fey book was probably forgotten or something and hasn't arrived yet. I'll probably switch to Amazon.uk after May the 1st when we get to have the nice EU postage rates and no taxes on border. I have also check out the regular Amazon since dollar is such a cheap thing currently.
Due to there being about a million Estonians altogether our RPG community is quite a small one. I know three active Ravenloft DMs and there is a number of more inactive ones. Ravenloft has a good reputation around here since I often see people who are looking for a game post things like ("Ravenloft preferred" or "I'd like to play in Ravenloft"). Ravenloft was adopted quite early by some the first group that played here and I think that the reputation has grown from there.

Lots of role-players but it is very, very hard to get books. Postage from the US or Europe is steep and the exchnage rate sucks.
