My friends and I have only played fantasy RPG's and were starting to get bored with going through cookie-cutter setting with the same old Orcs, Dwarves and Elves.
I suggested we try playing a "loosely historical, low-fantasy game". My friends were intrigued at first but actually looked disgusted when I elaborated on what I had in mind.
I wanted to run a game in which the players would be European knights on an expedition/crusade into Africa. I thought it would be interesting since very little is known about what was going on in Africa during the middle ages. My friends thought it would just turn into blatant racism to show the Africans at a more primitive technological level (pic related) and using trained war-beasts (think Gorillas, Rhinos and Lions trained for war).
Am I in the wrong here? Is there a way I can convince them to give it a shot?

I was actually planning on showing both. I had an empire in mind with vast keeps, lots of gold and ornate armor/weaponry. While also having more savage cannibalistic tribes farther out into the jungles.
>>
>>52968314
>>52968294
this too, but seriously using africa without the stuff they actually had is just a straight up wasted opportunity
>>
sounds like a bunch of fags
>>
sounds like a cool idea to me. Playing medieval rorke's drift could be fun.
It sounds like you'll have to convince them that the africans arent at as big of a disadvantage as they think.
Maybe have them take penalties for wearing medium or heavy armor in the blazing sun.
The wildlife could be another issue. Have wildebeest trample through their campsite and fuck everything up or have a predator stalk them for a few nights.
thats about all i got.

Is there a good resource I can use to see what middle ages Africa actually had?
>>
>>52968323
that sounds good, you using irl locations or same-society type stuff, also you going west africa, sahelian, east africa, or kongo/zimbabwe?
>>
>>52968359
Don't forget an Ethiopia. Ethiopa's culture is quite different from the rest of Africa with their Christianity, stone structures, and trade connections with India and possibly Ancient Greece.
>>
>>52968356
no single one that i can think of off the top of my head, but its gonna really depend on where in africa. kongo, ethiopia, mali, or nri are basically completely different settings
>>
>>52968228
Okay, so there is some subtext here that needs to be picked up:

They might think you're a racist. Something you've done have made them decide they don't trust you to not portray this as something racist. Or you've done nothing and they're just assuming you have bad intentions for no reasons. But either way, I can see where discomfort starts - You're crusaders. This means that, by default, your characters are faith driven invaders. Part of the PC's mission will likely mean having to violently oppose the native culture due to matters like their faiths being unchristian.

If you're genuinely only in this because you think setting something in middle ages Africa sounds cool, here is my recommendation. Get some books of the subject matter - history, anthropology, mythology and the like. Consume them. Then once you feel like you've got enough, come back to your players, and pitch the idea of playing a game set in middle ages Africa where you are playing middle ages Africans.

If they still turn you down, then unfortunately, you've just got lame friends and you should catalog your ideas for a better group
>>

true, honestly ethiopia is kinda standard medieval setting with black people though

>>52968228
OP consider adding a rival group of adventurers from a not!Muslim empire trying to convert as many people as possible. That'll vary the encounters quite a bit and allow you to have the option of having a Vatican/Islam proxy war and all kinds of interesting religious intrigue.
>>
>>52968359
Not entirely certain. I was probably going to use west/central Africa or hopefully have the group travel from one major region to the other so I could really throw some variety in. Maybe start in Egypt, complete with sphinxes and jackal headed guards, and slowly move further south.
>>
>>52968403
if its irl-type location relations, thats gonna need the sahelians too, look into Kanem-Bornu, Songhai, and the Hausa
>>
>>52968403
Okay I've done a bit of this sort of thing in the past, pick a region and I'll try to give you the best, most RP-usable bits
>>
>European knights on an expedition/crusade into Africa.
Why would you be on a crusade in the interior of Africa? There's nothing there to be on a crusade for. I guess some a bunch of Not!Africans came into Not!Europe and stole the holy grail or something? But if they are as technologically inferior as you're implying that shouldn't have happened in the first place.
What if a PC dies? They obviously don't want to be playing as the natives, otherwise the "European invaders" part wouldn't be necessary at all. Do you just drop the campaign as soon as one of them inevitably catches disease and kicks the bucket?
This is why
>>
>>52968400
I can see why that could be a problem. The crusader bit was more for their reason for being there because as much as I want to run this I can't quite think of a reason why this would be going on.
>>52968402
I really like that idea. I think they would just jump to the conclusion of me making them out to be evil because they're Muslim.
>>
>>52968478
if the "muh evil muslim" is a problem, play up the conflict angle. dont cast it as muslim bad, cast it as we, the morally questionable protagonists, have to be against them
>>
>>52968472
>the holy grail
That's actually a good idea, not stolen but possibly hidden there. As for what happens when a PC dies I had imagined a world that was a bit more connected via trade and alliances that the real world actually was at that point.
>>
>>52968541
make it a detective quest, have them following the grail's trail as it goes further into africa, play up that while places like Ethiopia and the like might almost feel like home, Zimbabwe and Kongo definitely won't, but they have to keep going to do their job
>>
>>52968344
>wildebeest trample through their campsite
I didn't even consider what kind of encounters could be had with just run of the mill wildlife. Chimpanzees that try to steal their equipment, water sources could become traps in and of themselves with crocodiles lurking just beneath the surface. Have any other suggestions?

>>52968502
If it's total fine to have a stereotypical Muslim shiek antagonist or something, make the knights not religious crusaders, but rescuing a princess who was stolen in a slave raid or something like that. Then you don't have to violently smack down on everyone, and maybe have them visit the Christian Ethiopians as heroes or something.

snakes could be around every fucking corner to the point where the invasion force has to work it into the prep time to set up camp to check for snakes.
Army ants eating people alive.
Piranhas also eating people alive.
Territorial gorillas/chimps.
This could all be natural stuff or the work of tribal shamans. Either way it would be a bitch to deal with.

Oh here's an idea, the player party bungled up a witch extermination and all got branded with a sign that attracts monsters, creepy crawlies and all the things that go bump in the night to them. They got banished from their knight order and their only hope is to find the Holy Grail and wash their brands off with the holy blood that spills from it. They heard a rumor that it was to the south so now they are going through all of Africa to find it. Along the way, they run into regional problems to fix, new people to help on their quest for redemption, and rival orders sent by both the Vatican and the Muslims to convert the inhabitants, gain a foothold in Africa and find the grail. Local tribal leaders and warlords also get into the power struggle to find the grail first and also grab as much land as possible now that the stalemate between the various African tribes has been broken by these new arrivals.

That's all I got for a rough outline.

>>52968824
eh it would have to be a bit of a variant on standard antagonist #17 to fit in africa instead of the middle east but otherwise yeah

They want to find Prester John. Both Ethiopia and Mali were thought to be the land of this great king at some time. The first, because it was a hidden christian land, and the second because it was so filthy rich.

not sure if anyone suggested it earlier in the thread but you could start out the adventure by making the pcs a ragtag group of knights who are sent from outremer to africa to find Prester John's kingdom and forge an alliance between him and the king of jerusalem against the saracens.

There's also a lot of non-magical early healing techniques you can draw on.

For instance, Ancient civilizations as far back as Egypt knew that honey was an antibacterial (despite not knowing what bacteria were). And maggot-therapy is a proven way of curing the early stages of gangrene on wounds.

As one who's browsed a lot of fucking /pol/, it it exactly the opposite. Bernouts didn't have a cult of personality to follow since the old jew got fucked over by his own party, so they migrated to Trump. Ever since then, /pol/ has been their little sekrit klub, and even after the election they're still fucking here. There's so many of them, and they didn't follow the golden rule of lurk before posting. They only understood the culture of /pol/ at the surface level, and it takes more lurking then usual to understand old /pol/. Like many on the site, they are unable to understand the concept of irony, and take everything we said as completely serious. They genuinely believe in this meme magic bullshit (which, in fact, is just a massive case of confirmation bias) and that Donald Trump can do no wrong, even when he does wrong. They just blindly lap up everything that gets posted on /pol/ like the left does with CNN, MTV, and Huffington Post.

Don't believe me? Just hop on /pol/ and search up the Trump General, then make a post there slamming reddit and watch them froth at the mouth. this is the only place on 4chan where you will be genuinely attacked for insulting reddit. I hate them all.

So here's what you have to do OP

Sit your players down very calmly, and ask them to trust you. You're not racist, and they know this; they should abandon any preconceptions they have and they should trust you to portray the source material in a balanced and respectful manner.

If this isn't enough for them, get better friends. Hopefully ones with thicker skin.

tikoloshe.jpg
13KB, 300x249px
>>52970634
Let me tell you about the Tikoloshe. Keep in mind that this explanation comes from Mashona mythology, as that is the mythology I am familiar with.


A Tikoloshe (or Tokoloshe) is like a hybrid between a golem, gremlin, genie, and devil. They're short, imp-like creatures constructed from animal corpses and stuffed sacks, and animated by a witchdoctor by inviting an evil spirit to rest inside of it. Witchdoctors do this to deal with those who have angered them, sending the Tikoloshe to torment the victim.

When bound, the Tikoloshe is at its most dangerous. It can grant wishes to whomever owns it, but will twist these wishes to bring death, disease, and misfortune on the wisher. It is at this time that the Tikoloshe is also the most malicious; it utilizes its incredible cunning to trick its foe, and often uses magic to become invisible to to change shape. Bound Tikoloshes will often make outrageous demands of those they are bound too, such as for gold or the blood of virgins, and back these demands with threats of death, misfortune, curses, and other calamities.

When unbound, the Tikoloshe is less dangerous by by no means less evil. An unbound Tikoloshe will spread chaos and confusion wherever it goes, spreading misfortune as it pleases. It will scare schoolchildren, steal or spoil food, or cause bad luck. Its favourite victims are those who are asleep, and the Tikoloshe will often kill people in their sleep, or eat their toes while they sleep, or cause sleeping women to fall pregnant. This can be avoided by sleeping on raised beds, with bricks under its legs.

The only way to stop a Tikoloshe is to appease (good idea) or coerce (very bad idea) its creator witchdoctor into dispelling it, or to have a second witchdoctor exercise an area of Tikoloshes.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

'Nations' are outdated BS suitable only for old-world worshiping Eurofags. Colonial countries like the US are post-national, in that what defines a 'person' is tied to citizenship and culture.

Stop defining shit based on blood or keep living in he past, it's your choice Euro-trash.

Goalposts, but whatever.

It will worked because it's already worked in the past. Don't worry, I'm not gonna give you the "rome had citizens from all over the empire" BS. I'm talking about the Assyrians, who forced conquered people to disperse throughout their empire to various other provinces instead of remaining as a sedentary vassal population. It turns out, if you handle an influx of people in small numbers, or in such a way that they don't form into ghettoized sedentary communities, they integrate quite well.

It works on a modern scale too. As long as you control immigration and keep minority populations from resisting acculturation, you end up with people who speak your language and share your values.

>identity is bad

It's usually based on shallow, irrelevant, irrational and/or misconceived ideas that serve mainly to give an individual a superficial sense of validation. It also allows individuals to try to claim some sort of credit or reflected glory from the achievements of people they identify with.

It's therefore usually pretty pathetic, and all the "muh pride" in the world won't change that.

The “model” (definition) you describe is very recent, and co-existed with older definitions of “race” well towards the end of the 19th century.
“Race” used to mean any group sharing a common heritage and as such distinct from other groups. The super-races you describe qualify, but so would Japanese (Yamato) and Norwegians, Bavarians and Silesians, or even extended families. Concentric circles, basically.
I have an early 20th century biography of Otto von Bismarck here that even refers to his overall lineage as a “race” (which is technically accurate).

Then we're in agreement.
There are superior and inferior cultures, and for all intents and purposes the culture of the nation is the most superior culture. Thankfully, just because something is less than perfect doesn't mean that it's bad. Cultures that are less than perfect but acceptable are allowed, while cultures that are abominations are not allowed. People of these cultures are to be kept from making ghettoized communities where their inferior culture can fester, so that over a few generations they eventually adopt the dominant superior culture.

The system works.

>A is the oldest of all Y-DNA haplogroups. It originated in sub-Saharan Africa over 140,000 years ago, and possibly as much as 340,000 years ago if we include haplogroup A00. Modern populations with the highest percentages of haplogroup A are the Khoisan (such as the Bushmen) and the southern Sudanese.

There are only rare and isolated cases of European men belonging to haplogroup A. Commercial tests have identified a few Scottish and Irish families (surnames Boyd, Logan and Taylor) all belonging to the same A1b1b2 (M13) subclade. This subclade is normally found in East Africa (Ethiopia, Sudan), but has also been found in Egypt, the Arabian peninsula, Palestine, Jordan, Turkey, Sicily, Sardinia and Algeria. It was certainly brought to Europe by Levantine people, be it during the Neolithic or later (Phoenicians, Jews, immigration within the Roman Empire).

Haplogroup A1a* (M31) has been found in Finland, Norway and eastern England. This subclade is normally found along the west coast of Africa (Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Mali, Morocco) and could have come to Europe during the Paleolithic. Indeed a few percent of sub-Saharan admixture was found among ancient DNA samples from Mesolithic Scandinavia tested by Skoglund et al. (2012).

Then we're actually in full agreement. No nation should have to integrate the practices of another, and all nations deserve independence. You don't have to like what they do with it, in fact there's a case to be made that you shouldn't. But it looks like we do actually agree.
>>
>>52973544
Yes, we just have a disagreement on what "integrate the practices of another" means.
>>
>>52973568
Oh, what do you think it means?
>>
>>52973579
That for practices to be integrated by the nation, they need to be practices that can't be ignored and must be acted upon (so much as the nation decides what can and can't be ignored).

For example, lets say my neighbours want to cook and eat samosas, or sell samosas in their family-owned restaurant. Since I live in a nation that doesn't care what its citizens eat, I can ignore that my neighbours are eating samosas. Similarly, if the samosas they make and sell in their restaurant do not pass health and safety requirements, that is when the practice needs to be rejected, since my nation does care if food being sold passes health and safety regulations.

>>
>>52973393
>>52973413
Here's the train of thought I promised here >>52973443.


Okay. So, all views are subjective. Or rather, they're subjective enough that they can't be proven 100% objectively.

Like, if you say "murder is wrong because you should do unto others as you would want done unto you," (the golden rule) which is perhaps the most basic of moral statements, you end up with the question of "why is it right you do unto others as you want done unto you," which is a question that can't be proven 100%. Thing is, living with subjective morality sucks ass.

Luckily, when everything is subjective, the things we use to judge subjectivity and objectivity themselves become subjective. Good and Bad are subjective things, so I say here and now that the Golden Rule is Good™, and if you disagree with me you're Bad™, so I will not form a social contract with you or people like you.

I have now created a framework whereby arbitrary things can be declared to be good or bad, and these statements can be treated as subjective or objective as I see fit. Think of it like doublethink or dogma, but it doesn't suck.

So, I hereby declare that hanging gays for being gay is Bad™. Also, beating your wife for a reason other than self defense is also Bad™. Do you disagree with me?
>>
>>52973661
Agreed as far as what little integration is acceptable should happen. The nation, so long as it is independent and not exerting control on another culture, is absolute in its influence.
>>
>>52973721
Pretty much agreed. My only issue with that would be if you decided that you would try to stop other people who disagreed with you from forming social contracts, which this doesn't look like. So I do think we probably actually agree on basically all of this.

>>52974545
The tribes south of Lake Victoria are often clasified as the Bantu tribes, as they all have a common origin from somewhere between 2000 and 1500 BCE. Do not make the mistake of all viewing them as the same people, however, as the cultural differences between the various tribes is significant.

The only tribes I know enough of to explain are the Mashona Tribe and the Zulu tribe - or rather, the splinter of the Zulu tribe that became the N'dabele tribe.


First, the Mashona, often called the Shona. Living in what is now Zambia and Zimbabwe, the Mashona were traditionally a more peaceful and slightly less developed african tribe, that spent most of their time farming grains and maize once it was introduced later. Their history is rather uninteresting, until the early 19th century when they met with the N'debele tribe.

The N'debele were very new on the scene at this time, having recently been created. They were originally Zulus, but one charasmitic grandchild of famed warlord Shaka Zulu broke of from the main Zulu tribe with a substancial following, and moved North to seek their destiny. Like their Zulu progenitors, the ndebele were a more technologically developed than other tribes, but also very warlike as well. They waged many wars with the Mashona tribes when they first interacted, stealing cattle and other Shona posessions in their raids.

It is likely the fighting would have escalated to the eventual total victory of the N'debele over the Mashona, where it not for the timely arrival of Europe. Great Britain, to be specific. The land was made into the colonies of Rhodesia and Nyassaland, and the conflicts between the tribes were controlled. When that region of the world eventually went down the drain, the intertribal conflict did not return - perhaps one small benefit to colonialism amid the heap of troubles it caused.

>would be European knights on an expedition/crusade into Africa

This is where you fucked up. It's why your friends thought the idea is racist, and why your idea is boring. You went for some epic deus vult colonial perspective.

Instead, you should just play as the Africans. Your characters could fight against or side with foreign Muslim or Christians or the local anti-imperialist indigenous people. Not to mention slavers from both foreign factions.
Meanwhile, warlords, tribes, kings and sultans challenge each other locally.
Africa also has tons of folklore that could inspire monsters or magic.

Remember that Muzzies were a bigger influence in Africa way before Europeans. Europeans generally didn't enter mainland Africa until the 19th century (unless they invited some magical antibiotic in this setting.) Which obviously wouldn't work too well if you want a medieval-tech setting.
Before then, they only operated coastal trade posts (if you -have- to be play as Europeans, be explorers or merchants, not Crusaders).
