    Gotta real talk. Pathfinder is way cooler with monsters because they go and interview people from different cultures or even hire them (one dev is an Alaskan Native) to build a more diverse cast of stories and folktales. I was clamoring to get Strength of Thousands because it is such a breath of fresh of air to get a non-Western fantasy setting published for once.

    The Mosquito Witch, for example, was heavily influenced by Native American and African folklore such as the Adze and Soucouyant

      YES! SoT/Mwangi Expanse book was great for that, and there's a ton in various other books since then. Have you read Impossible Lands yet? Tons of good stuff there too! Breath of fresh air!
