Nosolorol used to be THE RGP publisher in Spain. This guy's RPG section was 95%
Nosolorol products. Back then no publisher was carrying Dungeons and Dragons in
Spain at all (at all!) so Spain was left with what Nosolorol imported
(including the World of Darkness games, which are HUGE both in and out of
Spain) or what Nosolorol wrote themselves. Every other publisher was a tiny
microorganism in comparison to Nosolorol - maybe a small publisher such as
Holocubierta would release a hit every now and then, but they were not the
industry's engine.

So when people stopped purchasing Nosolorol products and started hinting that
stores carrying the games were guilty by association, he just got rid of that
section and dedicated that shelving space to boardgames instead.
