Black people should stop doing cultural appropriation.
Jordan Barnes
Seems like a wasted opportunity. I want to see more fantasy settings based on non-european cultures. Give me a fantasy Africa full of unique creatures, powers and legends. I'd love to see and play that.
(The skin colour this is completely irrelevant, btw)

/this, I want a story about a thief blessed by Anansi.
Gabriel Phillips
please tell thats a joke and they aren't really calling themselves "Neguses" I know the word exists and its meaning
Camden Lewis
This.

>Neguses >Ethiopian ruler >Ethiopia is such a fragile shithole a Jew claimed God smote it and it never recovered
Bentley King
If you consider that Christian and Muslim powers ruthlessly exploiting them for centuries, you could say God smote it, yeah.
(The latter point always bugs me, as it's consistently forgotten amidst all the white guilt and historical apologism that goes on. The Middle East was just as bad, if not worse, and still has a habit of working African migrants to death, yet nobody talks about it because we need all their damn oil. It shows how skin deep the regret for past actions really is.)

YO DAS RAYCIS EVERYONE KNOWS THE WHITE MAN IS AT FAULT
Grayson Evans
The problem is if Africans condemn Middle East behavior, they are the kettle calling the pot black. Blacks hate blacks the most and abused blacks the most too.
Let's keep it simple : Humans are bastards to humans White humans were just the most efficient bastards
Bentley Bennett
Oh fuck, that sounds really cool.
While that's technically true, it's also an unfortunate side effect of desperation. We're seeing a similar thing happen in the poorer middle eastern countries at the moment. When you're robbed of power and exploited by those outside, you fight to grab whatever you can to survive, even if the conflict means hurting your countrymen and kin more than it hurts the forces who caused the problem. It's a tragic cycle where the daily struggle to survive ends up perpetuating the situation those outside influences created.
Cameron Robinson
Definitely could get behind this.
Cooper Mitchell
Okay, but you haven't told me anything important about the setting aside from the fact that it's standard fantasy with more zombies.
Zachary Russell
There's a 3rd party supplement for 3.5 (I'm sorry) called Nyambe. It's basically an african fantasy setting. One of these days I will run it, after adapting it to something that is not 3.5
William Ward
That's not at all what's in that book user. There's nothing about migration.
And yeah it's ruled by a High Negus. It's pretty explicitly Fantasy Ethiopia. With the settings Christianity equivalent too.

Spears of the Dawn from the same author.

What does sword and soul mean? Like soul food, only with swords?
Evan Cooper
Glad to see more racial diversity in RPGs, how could we live without it?
Kayden Nelson
>How does this make you feel? I'd rather be playing in the "Mad Max with bio-magi-tech" part of the setting instead, or maybe the Tipocracy of Fedoristan, but fighting demons and zombies is alright too.
Gabriel Ortiz
It's like sword and blues but with soul instead
Ayden Stewart

Levi Jones
So is it standard med-fan or african fantasy? I'm getting contradictory info in this thread.
