I base my evil races and cultures on real-life colonizers, imperialists, and committers of genocide. I base my drow directly on the Jacksonian Democrats: Manifest Destinying their way across the Underdark, with populist democracy exclusively for drow women. They want to Civilize the Underfrontier.Similarly, my hobgoblins are Prussian militarists, my neogi are the British Empire, my giants are the Russian Empire, my yuan-ti are the Aztecs, my kobolds are the Han Chinese, my orcs are the Huns, and my gnolls are the Assyrians.
>oi m8 you got a loicense for that sloive?
>>98070916based alarm?
>>98070916>Evil Culture>Prussian militaristsWho do you use jews as base for?
>>98070916So who's based on Israel?
>>98071030>>98071041Israel are the mind flayers.
>>98071041I'd be tempted to say vampires, but then you would have the humans be americans, which is pretty revolting.
>>98070916I can't help but notice all the black erasure going on here. The Khmer Rouge managed to better than the much vaunted German Engineering of the 1930s and 1940s with only machetes and elbow grease, to say nothing of the black excellence of the Barbary Slave Trade.Do better, OP.
>>98071140Neither are particulary imperialistic, tough. Being bad is not the whole of being imperialistic.
>>98071140>The Khmer Rouge with only machetes and elbow grease managed to better than the much vaunted German Engineering of the 1930s and 1940splease stop noticing, anon
>>98070916drow booba
>>98071152They qualify as committers of genocide, and they were imperialistic. Please stop denying black achievement. Do better, anon.
>>98071221Eh, they just invaded Vietnam. Doesn't count as imperialism to me.If you really have the usual rightwing insecurity over "non-whiteys crime are obscured!" (and... somehow think the Aztecs in OP are white or something?) it would be trivially easy to speak about non-white actual imperalists, like the Zulu, 1930s japanese. the Incas or whateve.
>>98070916So in your world playing as one of the evil races is inherently more interesting than playing as one of the good races? Or is that all clever commentary to say that evil isn't an attribute we should even consider in the first place, when it comes to evaluating a culture and instead look at the civilizational benefits and wonders they produce?
>>98071247>The murder of civilians doesn't count if they're VietnameseCool it with the racism buddy
>>98071083Americans are the only humans on Earth, everyone else is pretending.
>>98071198I am intrigued.
>>98071247Anon stop trying to obfuscate the truth by labelling my posts as chud-coded. This kind of derailment erases the very real achievements and humanity of black individuals and societies and is the underpinning of the systematic racism that has scarred the world. Do better, anon.
>>98070916>my kobolds are the Han ChineseLol gweilo are so funny.I thought all your colonizer cultures were supposed to be negative representations to piss off /pol/anons here.Perhaps you are a desperate /pol/ack doing the usual bad baizou act?Either way you’ve lost a lot of social credit.I recommend changing the Kobolds to the empire era Japanese because of what they did during the century of humiliation.It will save some of your social credit in this Chinese century.
>>98071496It's more that the Vietnamese kicked their ass while recovering from their own Civil War.'Nam's got hands.
>>98071789It's true. Kobolds would never starve girl babies to death in a ptich black room.
>>98070916Who gets to be Belgium?
>>98070916>I made the evil races into all of the people who were actually capable of civilization
>>98072544Belgium never had imperial ambitions. The infamous mismanagement of Congo was personal enterprise of Leopold II that was not endorsed by the government.
>>98071789China is Imperialist by definition, because there is no such thing as "China." China is between three and five distinct nations depending on the era, forced into an Imperial arrangement by the North. Wei Wu and Shu are the best known from the Three Kingdoms Era, but these divisions continually express themselves. Even today, the PRC is a detente between the North (all the food, military power) the South (all the money, economic power) and the West (worthless, has nothing) and they're all just pretending to be a country because if you deny it a CCP official comes to your house and beats you to death.The term "Colonizer" is also made up nonsense. They can't say "Imperialist" anymore since any state which encompasses multiple "nations" is an Empire by definition... Which would include the EU, Turkey, China, Brazil, South Africa, Uganda, both of the Persias, India, Columbia, etc which are not acceptable targets for the sort of people who want a magic word to call white people.
>>98072725Belgium is an Empire because the Waloons and the Flemish are dsicrete nations, not for anything Leopold did in Africa.
>>98072730Hm, that's a clever technicality. Also isn't there a tiny 3rd region that speaks German?
>>98072727I see your point.>Brazil and South Africa mentionedI was not expecting that. How do they count for your definition of imperialist?I do know Brazil was once an empire under Pedro. I do want my ttrpg setting based on Brazil for the cyberpunk with their favelas.I didn’t know about that colonizer word backstory.But I do think that there is some projection irony with them that use it without irony if you catch my drift.Anyways China has a great term called baizou. Worth looking up.
>>98072737Brazil encompasses several large indiginous ethnic groups who I would consider discrete nations. Many of them don't even know that they're in the Empire, ironically.South Africa, similarly, consists of multiple such groups. In fact in South Africa they have a law specifically to address this that every ethnic group is entitled to tribal territory that the others cannot infringe upon, which comically resulted in the whites getting one too in the form of Oriana.The truth is that by the old standards basically every serious country these days is either an empire or part of an empire. I think maybe Estonia is safe. Maybe Iceland. Costa Rica, possibly.
>>98072737Also I've heard Baizou. I actually went to China around 2006 for a school thing. One thing I'll give them is that they don't suffer that "lost in translation" thing the Japanese have with humor, it translates perfectly.
>>98071140>Khmer RougeThey were cambodian asians, not black, you dingus.
>>98072709But he mentioned Russians
>>98070916>I base my drow directly on the Jacksonian Democrats: Manifest Destinying their way across the Underdark, with populist democracy exclusively for drow women. This is a solid and very workable interpretation.>Similarly, my hobgoblins are Prussian militaristsSo is this, if anything even better than the Drow one.>my neogi are the British EmpireThis makes very little sense, because the neogi are defined by being slavers and the British Empire was the strongest force for abolition the world has ever seen.>my giants are the Russian EmpireWith the giants the all-powerful aristocracy? Yes, this is a good interpretation.>my yuan-ti are the AztecsThis is common but it works well.>my kobolds are the Han ChineseI don't know enough this to make a call.>my orcs are the HunsAnother good fit.>gnolls are the AssyriansGnolls are honestly too savage to be imperialistic so I don't agree with this one.Overall at leasy 7/10, solid, history is often more interesting than fantasy so you shouldn't be ashamed of doing such things. If you want to make it a little less identifiable simply intermix two similar cultures instead of just taking from one.
>>98072737Why the fuck are you getting one shotted by retard /pol/ dribble on an anonymous fucking imageboard you fucking retard, you're not gonna learn shit on here by a guy who just thinks talking about colonialism is anti-white and thus shouldn't happen holy fucking shit are you 15 and about to get groomed to shoot up a school or what
>>98072737The story of Pedro II is so fucking sad.
>>98072544>>98072725Belgium should be the neogi because the neogi's whole thing is industrial-scale interstellar slavery and they are more individual merchants and cartels rather than an empire, and are also sexless insectile beings, but anon probably just likes doing a British accent.
>>98072793How sad are we talking?I need more details beyond him being the last emperor of Brazil and his peace and prosperity for Brazil wish not being granted it seems.
>>98072915I just find it very tragic to luck into the wolrdwide top 1% ever of hereditary dictators with minimal quality control and then have him give it up for his people and have them utterly squander everything he achieved. Emperor Max is pretty tragic too, but at least he wasn't the effective administrator Pedro was.
>>98072791What was the cause for this sperg out?Replied to the wrong post?>>98074382That sounds sadder already.
>>98070916Based.Wait how sexy are the yuan-ti?
