The only advantage I see in playing here in Frankfurt am Main is, what I am
more familar with the location. That is the reason why my campaign is
located in the Seattle, becaus its far away :-) But my GM has a different
opinion.

And there was no germany in the shadows as I started. Maybe

I started with this group of players a year ago. There a only two players of
my last group (the last group breaks apart because of personal problemes
between the players) and I had so much ideas for the last campaign that I
don't want change the country. And my players didn't protest :-)=)

It looks like that I have much luck with my players, because they didn't see
that flwas. The are using only a few of that equipment from DidS. And I will
not allow the suff from the other published supplements from FanPro

I assume you have seen that I don't have much love for FanPro and there
translations (expecialy the BT Stuff). We can hope that they a growing with
that challenge :-)
BTW, do you have ever seen the page with the answers of player questions
from germans? They a producing munchkin equipmeent and than crying about the
super-samurai-vampire-mage, brrr
With other words, would the read the posts? I think not ;-)
