So, how do I run a cool game in Not-Jamaica?
I honestly just want to use my bombin' Jamaican accent for all the NPCs, but yeah, I'd like to hear some cool ideas for some tings they might find.

to be honest using 'this thing seems kind of cool' as the basis for a campaign tends to lead to campaigns which die really quickly
Zombies. Lots and lots of zombies. Jamaica is one of those places where a lot of stuff got mashed together and we ended up with Voodoo. Works better in games without a lot of magic, because in most high-magic games, zombies are a fucking joke.
Disease. Emphasize that if they are white they will probably die. The Caribbean is a nice place nowadays, relatively speaking, but once upon a time it was where you sent people you hated because you wanted to give them a post that would probably kill them. Works better in a game without modern medicine obviously.
Crime and grinding poverty. Ten years ago, the per capita murder rate was damn near 6 per 100,000. That means that about 1 in 20k people in Jamaica got murdered. Also, other crimes, such as drug trafficking and sexual assault, and the overall police corruption and ineffectiveness that lets this state of affairs continue. Obviously these are modern numbers, not sure how this would work for historical games set in, say, age of piracy.
Plantations. In a modern game, they're old, abandoned, and spooky. In a more historical game, they're a breeding ground of disease and slave resentment.
Rough terrain. The mountains are lush and beautiful. Tracking a spy/escaped inmate/runaway slave through that sure would suck, wouldn't it.

Bump for OP because they didn't fuck everything up and double negative by saying not!Jamacia
Warcraft troll related stuff is pretty much all Not-Jamaica. Kinda like >>50154571 said.
Give it a colonial/New frontier kinda feel
A real bumbaclot wizard done left his magic book in the yard and now some battyboy done used it to get up to mischief.
The witch doctor doesn't actually know magic and solves all his problems using the party. All his clients are lied to and have their problems resolved with other unconventional methods.
