Nosolorol's catalog is mostly RPG manuals. They have some fiction and some
gamebooks,
but it is an RPG company at heart. They have a number of comic-based RPGs too.

The reason for wanting the Korean edition is that it is better built. The horse
figurines are more solid and the board more sturdy. The current Spanish edition
retails at deluxe prices but you'd think you are gonna break the horses when
grabbing
them. As you know, I like it the other way around - I want to be grabbed by a
horse
with force just bellow my breaking point :-)
