[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 6821504, member: 19265"] [MENTION=4937]Celebrim[/MENTION]. I was going to respond to the person who thought they had my "attitude" pegged, but the first part of your post does a better job than me. But now we ARE off on that tangent I wanted to avoid. I simply started this thread to talk about African-influenced settings, rules, monsters etc that people may have used. I don't care what colour the people's skins are or whether they are even human! Nothing needs to be flatly compared to real-world history and sociology. It might be in your game, but I am simply wishing to ask people about parts of their game that is influenced by Africa (it does not have to BE Africa). Just as 'standard' DnD is NOT Europe, but is clearly influenced by European Medieval times. Man, how can you just discuss gaming as gaming. You know, to have fun with. Mix stuff up? Anyway, if you have mixed stuff up that might have been inspired by something you read/saw/heard about Africa, that was what I wanted to hear about it. Please, let's not go back and forth on this. Anyway, I just noticed that my obsidian dwarves look to be coming in an EN5ider article soon. I actually had not heard, but it is on the news this morning. The obsidian dwarves are a little controversial, in that they are cannibalistic (and I have tied a class feature to gaining power from this). These dwarves were 'influenced' by stuff I have read about Africa - I have a foot note stating you can use them as utuchekulu in such a setting IF YOU WISH. (Now please don't write, "Now the guy from the OP thinks all Africans are/were savages that ate eat other... as stated I got the inspiration from a mythological creature, supposedly from Africa ;) I hope I don't have to do that every time I write something here). Anyway, have others created/used other such ideas? And would you be willing to see/use more? [/QUOTE]
