Message: <blockquote data-quote="LuisCarlos17f" data-source="post: 9348952" data-attributes="member: 6802378">Disclaimer: there aren't intention of causing controversies about certains facts from the real life: Using Spanish History and culture as source of inspiration for your campaings in Red Steel/Steel Coast isn't wrong, and even some Spaniards could thank, but some threats could be potentially troublemakers. A hero for a nation or group could be a monster in the eyes of others. [ISPOILER]For example if you create a character style Simon Bolivar you could get into serious troubles. Why? Because somebody would say he was a champion of the freedom and a hero, but other person would say the opposite about him, telling about "<a href="https://webhispania.info/pastos-black-christmas-24-december-1822-the-slaughter-by-antonio-jose-de-sucre/" target="_blank">Pasto's Black Christmas</a>", <a href="https://www.outono.net/elentir/2022/08/09/the-war-crimes-perpetrated-by-simon-bolivar-against-spanish-prisoners/" target="_blank">killing prisoners even when families had payed the rescue and other genocide actions</a>.  [/ISPOILER]I suspect WotC will not want to republish "Mask of the Red Death" because even with the best intentions that age has got some dark episodes more one person wouldn't want to remember, for example about the "war" in [ISPOILER]Tasmania[/ISPOILER]. [ISPOILER]Even the term "Latinoamerica" is not "politically correct" for some people who reclaim the right term is "Hispanoamerica", "Iberoamerica" or "Southamerica".[/ISPOILER] If you tell a story where the members of indepence group are the "heroes", other could tell the opposte based in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_the_Patrician" target="_blank">Gregory the Patrician, a fogotten historical character who self-proclaim emperor but he couldn't enjoy the new independence for a long time</a>... or a story about the indepencence were with a plot twist, the independentitas won but they asked finances to foreign banks, and now they are "slavered" by the debts.  'There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.' Disney's "Encanto" is a good example of how use Hispanic culture as source of inspiration. That scene of Mission Impossible 2 where there is a strange mixture of Spanish festivities the example of what you shouldn't.Some times I suspect seriously the formians have been cancelled in 5ed because my fault, because here I said these could be used as an allegory for an army from the real world. The khaastas could be cancelled also because they are slave traffickers, a serious taboo for 5e standars.</blockquote>
