Free PDF Another Free PDFNyambe: African Adventures In the land of the Overpower, the jaws of the crocodile are the only reward for the unwary. Nyambe is a vast land of exotic creatures and wide expanses, where ancestral orishas cry for brave tribal warriors to carve out the hearts of foul mchawi wizards, and where dragon-blooded sorcerers once joined the fierce Amazons of Nibomay in the bloody Rebelling Time to win their freedom. This eagerly anticipated OGL campaign setting brings together high fantasy and African myth, legend, and history in a hardcover sourcebook of epic proportions for both players and GMs. Nyambe: African Adventures includes: * Twelve new human tribal cultures and six variant non-human races, like the brown-skinned, tailed Wakyambi elves who meddle in the affairs of men from the depths of the bIda rainforest. * New core class variants and prestige classes change druids into shamen who worship the natural orisha spirits and are as comfortable in the skin of a panther as in humanoid form. * New skills and feats like Ancestral Blessing, Drum Dancer, Elephant Warrior, and Fire Blood are the heritage of every Nyamban, as well as new weapons, armor, and equipment designed for a tropical climate where the heat of the vast savannah is more dangerous than an enemy's spear. * The spirit-worship of the mortals has called upon the orisha for new spells and domains such as Darkness, Exile, Fertility, Lightning, and Plague ever since the Dark Time when the Overpower ascended into the sky on the web of a giant spider. * Mad omurogo wizards contemplate the contents of mojuba bags to prepare their divination spells, and new magic items like zombi powder turn fallen warriors into true zombis that keep a hideous memory of their former lives. Ritual masks let the wearer become an orisha, and vodou nkisi statues hurl powerful curses at those who dare to use them. * And in the dark interior of the continent lurk creatures never before seen by the men of the tamed north lands ... ravenous beasts of the jungle and desert are only the beginning of the danger that awaits those who walk the lands of Nyambe!

Amazon Mentioned in Robert E. Howard's Hyborian Age essay, the kingdom of the Amazons refers to various legends of Greek Amazons, or more specifically to the Dahomey Amazons. In classical legend, Amazonia was a nation of warrior women in Asia Minor and North Africa. The legend may be based upon the Sarmatians, a nomadic Iranian tribe of the Kuban, whose women were required to slay an enemy before they might marry. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyborian_Age#Etymology

DINGONEK
FREQUENCY: Rare NO. APPEARING: 1-2 ARMOR CLASS: 3 MOVE: 9//9(6) HIT DICE: 8 +4 % IN LAIR: Nil TREASURE TYPE: Nil NO. OF ATTACKS: 1 bite and 2 claws DAMAGE/ATTACK: 2-16/2-12/2-12 SPECIAL ATTACKS: Charge SPECIAL DEFENSES: Nil MAGIC RESISTANCE: Standard INTELLIGENCE: Semi ALIGNMENT: Neutral SIZE: L PSIONIC ABILITY: Nil LEVEL/XP VALUE: VII/1300 + 12/hp
A fearless, aggressive carnivore that rivals the bulette in temper. Accustomed to attacking other large monsters, the dingonek has developed a charging attack using its head and body as a massive ram. Given 60 in which to reach charging speed, the dingonek will deliberately hurl itself at large or dangerous prey, inflicting double damage with claw attacks, an additional 2-20 hp damage from its head butt (though without a bite), and stunning all man-size or smaller beings as per a symbol of stunning. The dingonek can also dig into the earth with its claws and burst out of the ground to attack encampments and villages. Anyone standing behind a dingonek can be smacked with its tail for 3-12 hp damage, though this attack is at -4 to hit. Unfortunately, dingoneks can swim, too.
To be called brave as a dingonek means to be stupidly fearless and aggressive. The best policy that humans have when encountering a dingonek is to leave the area and hope it finds something bigger to pick on.

Adventure seed: This one begins in what would geographically correspond to the Serengeti, and, involves an entrance to the Underdark. Some elements of the adventure:
* Lemurian tribe * werelions * giant ant hill * a spider deity * ankhegs * an old herdsman who knows of an entrance beyond an elephants graveyard * elephants become psionically aware in vast herds
An easy intro would be to have some of the tribesmen kidnapped... a successful tracking roll would lead to the entrance of the Underdark, under Mt. Kilimanjaro, part of an extended tunnel complex which extends all the way to Aetheope!
