[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6102961, member: 92305"] Again, I don't know if it suits your target, but the Conan RPG also has Tales of the Black Kingdoms. This is a series of linked adventures and mini-sourcebook. If you're not familiar with Conan's Hyborian Age, the Black Kingdoms are where Africa is today, but back in the pre-historical era of Conan's time (called "The Hyborian Age"). So, these adventures are set in thick, African-type jungles with tribes of savages as the bad guys. [URL="http://hyboria.xoth.net/reviews/tales_of_the_black_kingdoms.htm"]Here's a fair playtest review of the book.[/URL] [IMG]http://hyboria.xoth.net/reviews/conanblackkingdoms.jpg[/IMG] A couple of things about the Hyborian Age: [URL="http://rick-johnsons-atlas-of-hyboria.webs.com/rippke2.jpg"]This Map shows the African continent back during Conan's day[/URL]. You can see that the world has changed a lot in the modern age. Turan will become Turkey and its environs. Stygia will become Egypt. And, you can see the Black Kingdoms with some of the bigger, longer lasting kingdoms like Darfar and Kush labeled along the Black Coast. Another thing to know is that dinosaurs are encountered in the Black Kingdoms as well as in other non-civilized regions of the world during the Hyborian Age. [URL="http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/32759"]Here is one of Robert E.
