Lots of gods.
Lots of arms.

Everyone in the setting loves shawarma.

You idiot.

Big fucking monsters and big fucking tits.

Play Tales of the Arabian nights, but take out the references to real world places.

Generally though, lots of piety getting people out of sticky situations.

Fireball is always centered on self.

Sweden.

I have just realised my mistake.

Artificers specializing in explosives.

Less Islamic, more Hindu.

Marry a slut that isn't a princess or your cousin and you'll pay the price

Poorly cribbed and mangled Arabian/Iranian/Zoroastrian mythology

Well considering the share the Jewdaic-Christian god what do you think?

The myths of cultures that nowadays are predominantly Islamic societies generally trace back to far older regional mythologies independent from the Abrahamic tradition.

This. Inbreeding is an honorable tradition in mideastern Islamic cultures.

What you're actually looking for is Arab paganism in the Near East. This gives you the classically D&D competing pantheon of gods, and a world full of spirits and monsters.

>This gives you the classically D&D competing pantheon of gods
Why do you need a pantheon of competing gods?

>Islamic mythology

Arabic folklore =/= pisslamic mythology

t. egyptian dude

go stack bricks in the desert, sandmonkey

Because otherwise the various creatures in Islamic folklore, such as the various Djinns, make no theological sense

Take Semetic and Arabian and mash it together

>How would a fantasy setting based on the Islamic mythology look like?
It's a game where you REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES

>Arab paganism in the Near East. This gives you the classically D&D competing pantheon of gods, and a world full of spirits and monsters.
Meanwhile, we don't have a single myth of it.

The three goddesses are idols from the Qur'an for crying out loud.

If in doubt: Read 1001 nights
Take the most hardcore shit(demons, djinns, giant creatures, GODS WRATH, trade)
MORE of it

>(You) idiot

>Take the most hardcore shit
Getting castrated by some weird bitch for no real reason at all? Not that I liked that guy, since he let his qt cousin pine to death.

Why was he so perfect?

Fuck yes.

>Bro-fist

Those were the best episodes. Something about how tryhard he was just worked with Alladin.

And the reveal, gawdaang.

Nothing but suicide bombers and child brides, I imagine.

And open defecation.

>How would a fantasy setting based on the Islamic mythology look like?
Al-Qadim was a fun setting.

The same as Abrahamic-based fantasy.

OP here's some actual advice
>Only one god, but with a wide variety of spirits, angels, djinn, and other supernatural creatures
>lots of prophecy
>instead of vikings up north, it's hordes of savage horsemen
>down south it's savage tribes and ancient lost kingdoms
>lots more potential for old/lost empires in general, since the history of civilization in the region is older.
>holy wars and paladins would be even more of a thing desu.

>Islamic mythology

...

I came here to post this

It would be bombastic.

angels who has a duty to offer magic to people to trick them.
scribe angels to keepledger about good or evil deeds.
"Veli" "sheikh" kind of saints or sages who can perform mircles with Allah's will.
Yecuc & Mecuc some kind army that of a sign of apocalypse
Dabbet-ul Arz: The monster of earth. also apocalypse.
Burak: Prophets flying horse.

pretty boring stuff actually.

It would a have a lot more Genies

>Because otherwise the various creatures in Islamic folklore, such as the various Djinns, make no theological sense
Is a tenet of Islam that you must accept that Dijnn exist?

>what is 1001 Nights

yeah, I'm a bit confused on OPs premise too.

Arabic Mythology, I get. Southeast Asian Mythology, sure. Islamic Mythology? what is this?

Not islamic and therefore not a subject of this thread

Adam would be the first DMPC, who is removed after the players get sick of it, and then he introduces a new, even less tolerable DMPC in the form of Mohammed.

Well all "magic" is the result of demons/spirits but evil beings are not beyond redemption.
Lot's of honour and blood feuds between tribes and families.
Guns feature more heavily.

Probably because of how he was designed as an opposite to Alladin. Also, I think at some point they played around with the idea of them being related.

Deus Ex Machinas and Jihad all around

Not even the guy you responded to. But given that much of the Thousand and One Nights that people commonly read(as in, most modern translations) refer to Allah and Islamic beliefs in them. You can count it.

There's no sense in being pedantic about "where it comes from" so long as you keep track of the translation/version you have. Folklore and mythology changes and varies depending on time and place.

>Islamic

>Mythology

You realize this is like asking about christian folklore, right.

That said, specify. For arab folklore, which I'm thinking you mean, read arabian nights.

Child Slave, wat do?
