What real-world mythology would you like to see in a D&D sourcebook?

Mabye replacing the word "mythology" with "culture" would be better hong?

It would.

Because when you say mythology I think "I would rather they never do any. But given that they already did in Deities and Demogods I want to know how many hit points they think Jesus or -Jehovah- gets."

And OA is not real world culture or mythology.

It sounds like what you're asking for is 'what cultural analogies'.

I stand corrected

It's quite possible that they *are* working on it. Remember, WOTC plans books something like two years in advance, and doesn't discuss them until they're in the catalogue (around half a year before release).

True. While I enjoy products from both, neither WotC or AEG does a tremendously good job keeping us appraised of what's on the horizon. I can understand not wanting people upset if a project a year out gets cancelled, but they could at least say, "here's some ideas we've kicked around."

If they do make a 3e Arabian Adventures (and I hope they will), I *really* hope that they won't make it based on Legend of the Burning Sands. I mean, I can see using Rokugan instead of Kara-Tur, because Rokugan is reasonably well-known through Legend of the Five Rings - both the CCG and RPG. However, as I understand it Legend of the Burning Sands was quite the flop - Al-Qadim would probably be a much better choice.

I'd just like to have an AA book, regardless of the setting cannon put with it. Al-Quadim was cool, but I don't want to convert all of it. I never played the LBS card game, but I've read the storylines and fiction that went with it and liked what I saw. I think if they did a AA/LBS book similar to Oriental Adventures, they could use Al-Qadim as the default and note things that are LBS specific.
