In my blog post today, Carlos Mondragon relates his (mis)adventures in starting an RPG import company in Mexico in the early 90s. He speaks about his relations with the personalities at TSR and FASA, orders from other companies (GDW, Chessex, and Diseños Orbitales), the general state of gaming in Mexico at the time, and when it all went wrong with his company, Cíclope Hobbies.

Thank you for linking, that was an interesting story!


I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Shoulda been: ".. from Pangreenia to Floratopolis, from mystical Treeonia of spectral Forests to Schruborial dimensions." - The Forests of Leng

Wonderful, glad you liked it. I was fortunate that Carlos is such a good writer. That's all him.
