What a farce that piece of drek was.

Yeah! Before I had a sudden attack of nausea, Send
couple of ideas. I won't necessarily send crits, just
advise a few adjustments so your work steers very,
very clear from World of Darkness-style game-vomit."

Isn't that a problem you always get with role-playing games or media of any
kind? Germany (where I live) is always misrepresented in RPGs, and I bet my
America is a far cry from reality as well. It always gets reduced to
stereotypes.

I was thinking of using a fictitious country, or maybe Ghana because I know
a few people from there. Although, to be sure, as long as I say 'It's hot
and it's south from here' I can get away with anything regarding Africa,
because my players knowe exactly zilch about it.
