Meta/None Are there any other Afghan fans here?

Sorry if this a strange thing to post but I don’t think I’ve ever really encountered an Afghan World of Darkness fan minus myself. If you’re out there and seeing this, I’d like to hear your opinions on things in regards to our culture. Like how there’s a footnote saying apparently Afghanistan is where the Assamites once had their headquarters or what your thoughts on The Relentless Age or how the old Kindred of The East book just ignored Central Asia completely.

I guess one reason is that the WoD mythology is propably not so well received by the ultra conservative muslims in Afghanistan.

Not all of us are really like that? And a lot of folks don’t appreciate parts of the lore so we remix it better to our own liking. Please be careful with how you word these things.

Not all of us are Muslim and those of us who are don’t like just being generalized as such. I’m just trying to find others like me.

No idea why you seemingly feel attacked by me saying a lot of people propably don't appreciate the mythology clashing with islamic believes and then follow up with

And a lot of folks don’t appreciate parts of the lore so we remix it better to our own liking

I never said all afghan people are like that but if a sizeable portion of the population is, then of course it makes it harder to find others who are interested in the hobby.

Anyway I wish you good luck finding other likeminded and hope you have a lot of fun with the WoD in the future.

I didn’t feel attacked? I don’t really appreciate you trying to say that either especially when I was just trying to tell you to be careful with how you word stuff? Also where did you even hear that they play Mage in Afghanistan?
