I'm starting to put together a mythic-Africa style area for my campaign and am kinda stuck for PC races.
I have Nyambe, but blunty put, the races presented therein seem like the same old Player's Handbook races with a fresh coat of paint. That's not what I'm looking for. I don't want "African dwarves" or "African elves," I want some new PC races that are at least tangentially based on mythology or folk tales. I'm willing to design the game mechanics myself if I can find some good mythological references to draw on.
Any suggestions?
