I'm getting started on adapting my setting to HERO. The core of my project is the idea of using RPGs to preserve vanishing cultures and mythologies. For this, I've created a world called Refugium, where cultures which on Earth got steamrolled by colonialism get a second chance on a world where magic works (and by some great coincidence, all these lands reach the Age of Sail at about the same time). The first part of this is Ubantu, a world based on Bantu mythology that repudiates the Dark Continent trope by presenting a version of sub-Saharan Africa that is on the verge of its own sui generis Renaissance.Unlike other African settings, it is centered around one group of cultures and follows them faithfully - there is nothing of Egypt or West Africa here. Ubantu is a magnificent, powerful civilization on par with Renaissance Europe.The PDF is here. Note that you have to download it for the ToC links to work. The map is here. I've also got a bit of work on an Afro-Caribbean/South American continent, if anyone cares to see it.
So, I'll be posting lots of questions, newbie stuff, trying to create template for the races and later the magic system. Thanks, y'all
