Roleplaying in Ukraine is only starting. US publishers are thriving with huge amount of tabletop RPGs. The idea is to start translating these RPGs for Ukrainian market with license from US publishers. No competition on the market, already existing community and large amount of publishing companies may help this business become succesful and profitable.
Текущее состояние
Received a licensing offer from a big publisher on the first tabletop RPG to be translated. Translation in progress
Рынок
Middle class Ukrainian, mostly male, 20-35 years, loves tabletop games and socializing, living in bigger cities. A small community of roleplayers exist in Ukraine and can grow eventually to a big and strong community if UA editions of tabletop RPGs will emerge on the market. A typical tabletop RPG in Ukraine can easily start from 500-1000 books published per game.

Acting as soon as possible might create a new thing for UA youth to explore and a monopoly environment for the startup, since no other company in Ukraine is doing this.
