It's disappointing that we don't look beyond medieval Western history and culture for our settings. Has there ever been a setting based on Afghanistan?
>Society A predominantly tribal society divided by ethnicity, clan loyalties, tribes and extended family groups
>Geography A varied geography consisting of everything from harsh, inhospitable mountains to fertile plains and valleys to something that is straight out of Mad Max
>Religion Gigantic Buddha statues dot the land, Sikhs, Hindus, Shias in addition to Pagan worshippers
>Warfare A land which has been the crucible of gigantic, protracted conflicts from known history right to the present day
I'd be down to play something like Kiplings take on the setting.

>Gigantic Buddha statues dot the land, Sikhs, Hindus, Shias in addition to Pagan worshippers Yeah, at a certain point it was really interesting. Now we have the same boring abrahamitic shit like in the west.

>It's disappointing that we don't look beyond medieval Western history and culture for our settings. Triggered. Pic related and link below are things I've contributed to Veeky Forums and elsewhere:
I've been looking for some decent African fantasy inspiration for a while now, thanks user
Lucas Robinson
someone post crazy hassan
Jason Cooper
Thanks dude, this stuffs really interesting.
Carter Lewis
You're welcome. All part of being the loremaster of the setting.
Adrian Hill
That's Arab...

Today, Veeky Forums is not bad at history.

It's a pretty cool setting. Reminder that some of these dudes have been wearing the same fucking hat for almost 2500 years for no reason.
Julian Hernandez
Cool shit

Do you happen to have the Wuxia material in txt? Glorious stuff, i picked up your pastebin texts.

>Organic Magitech elves
I've been fooling around with a posthuman elves as supers type idea. Although they're relatively "new" compared to other races, this gives me ideas for a supremacist faction ala Brotherhood of Mutants/Apocalypse
Also, I think the line separating Fantasy from Sci-Fi isn't tech level, but mass-production. The ability to just "crank stuff out" in a Fantasy setting should probably be capped at Colonial Era technology at the latest.

Afghans are just a bunch of child raping wasteland barbarians that have contributed nothing to the world. Just portray them as especially vile baphomet-worshipping orcs and you've got it.
Jaxson Gomez
I try.
Thanks man.
No. I'll put it in the pastebin within the week, ok?
Isn't it? Despite the label that's definitely not Arab. Neither the guy, nor the architecture. Nothing about the picture looks Arab.
Looks South Asian, either Afghan or Islamic North Indian. Could easily work pretty well as a Not!Mughal necromancer. Definitely not Arab though despite the name of the file.

Yeah, I'd be down for Kim but with a party of urchins
