Zulu Tribal Lifepaths

From Burning Wiki

The following lifepaths are a very early, undeveloped version of a Zulu based tribal setting. It was originally created for a Hyborean BW game in which the players wanted to reverse a lot of the racial assumptions of Howard's work. As it only was used for one character, only one path was developed. More work is obviously needed to make it a full setting: including women's roles, craftsmen, shamans, and the like.
