[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8658620, member: 6802378"] Even when the entertaiment industry makes the best esfforts to be polite with the different Asian markets in the tabletop game the players can show their personal prejudices, for example a group can be pro-Egypt and anti-Sumerian, other more pro-Persian but anti-Otoman and a third group pro-Otoman and anti-Egyptian and anti-Persian. Other tabletop can show characters based in the favorite Turkey soap-opera but the antagonists are ersatzs(parodies of real Turkey characters from the goverment. A DM can tell a plot about the classic intrigue in the harem (and the stepmother as a classic antagonist), something that happened usually, too much, but other DM would say all the Zakharans are totally monogams (but if the first wive can't beget a a son ) to avoid the continuous struggles for the succession. Others would rather to use al-Qadim to create stories closer to Indian fantasy fiction. Even when the original work is totally honest and respectful, the parody version can be really... mercyless. And facts from the real life could cause some things becoming taboo, for example an Asia movie about zombies years before the current epidemic. Others could use al-Qadim for a plot based in Frank Herbert's Dune saga. --- I wonder if sha'ir should be a core class with special game mechanics, mabye mixing arcane magic with summoning, vestige binders, or incarnum soulmeldrs.
