How would a fantasy setting based on the Islamic mythology look like?

>>51239689
Lots of gods.
Lots of arms.

>>51239689
Everyone in the setting loves shawarma.

>>51239706
You idiot.

Big fucking monsters and big fucking tits.

>>51239689
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.

>>51239689

Fireball is always centered on self.

Sweden.

>>51239726
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

>>51239689
Poorly cribbed and mangled Arabian/Iranian/Zoroastrian mythology

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

>>51239689
The myths of cultures that nowadays are predominantly Islamic societies generally trace back to far older regional mythologies independent from the Abrahamic tradition.

>>51239898
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

>>51240466
Because otherwise the various creatures in Islamic folklore, such as the various Djinns, make no theological sense

>>51239689
Take Semetic and Arabian and mash it together

It's a game where you REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES REMEMBER MOSES

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

>>51239726

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.

Al-Qadim was a fun setting.

>>51239689
The same as Abrahamic-based fantasy.

>>51239689
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.

I came here to post this

>>51239689
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.

>>51239689
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

>>51242573

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

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

>>51245866
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.

>>51239689
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.

>>51241310
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.

>>51239689

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.
