I think Orcs a kinda racist because there is not a single orc with positive attitude in the whole story. But then you look better and the explanation is "they are corrupted by sauron" so it is obvious that all orcs are bad, because if they were good, they weren't corrupted. Another thing is to...

I'm unaware of this. What are your sources about? Glad to know it. Anyway, please note that I'm not negating that Al Qadim could be problematic. Everything could be problematic, in fact. What must we do for the future? Obviously change. But devils is in the details. Where we can consider...

I completely agree with this statement.

Nor Orcs.

And the link is?

No. Sorry. I've sad that between Arabian Nights and Al Qadim there is not so much difference. Al Qadim being the DnD version of a flavour that can be enjoyed in Arabian Nights. This is completely another thing to say. And you are right to feel so. But again, to find the genocide of the Orcs...

Excuse my poor english Obviously, being as heterogeneous as it is. But you are keeping to move the focus. Thanks for the precious information. The focus is fictionalized version of real cultures and where is the point between being offended by the stereotype in this ficional reconstruction...

To read AlQadim to know Arabian culture is stupid. Maybe when you play a game don't want to learn a culture. Maybe you want to live adventures like the one you read in Arabian Nights, and buy Al Qadim. I still do not view any link you posted saying that Middle East culture reject Arabian...

I respect their point of view, but I can wishper in your hear that the whole Faerunian reconstruction of Reinassance, as Italian, is pretty idiotic if not offensive. But I enjoy it. Maybe I can make a youtube video explaining the issues of FR in regard of Italian culture... but don't feel myself...

I've read the part of Kasimir but I do not find what you say.

I suggest you to inform yourself better about the topic.

There is no singular and traceable traduction of OTON, so... no meaning in ask. For your english traduction, sorry, not my edition. All stories are Islamic. All refers to islamic middle east world. And is a corpus of cultural heritage that, even if treated as popular literature by ultra...

Thank you for being constructive

If you know what OTON is, you can understand that your question is meaningless.

Maybe. But I've red One Thousand and One Night also and Al Qadim seems me in line with the depiction of OTON which is not an interpretation of somebody else culture. So my point of view is why OTON is ok and AQ no?

I perfectly know mystara. I've played in it. Is based on tropes and that's ok. Never found it offensive. Maybe I'm unsensitive, don't know. I've loved Al-Qadim. It reproduces "one thousand and one night" atmospheres in excellent way. Never found it offensive against middle age arabians. Maybe...

What is the solution with Dusk Elves? I know that Strahd killed all the females. Some other things to know about?

Especially if there is a lot of overintepretation around.

Only if you accept 3 in int
