RE: Let's Play Arcanum, Part 3: Fail! Fail! Fail!
Good call on the "race" standing in for racial stereotypes. That's something I probably should be paying more attention to than I do now. I play in Golarion (Pathfinder's Default Setting) and at least they've made good progress toward a wide ethnic variety of humans and they seem to demphasise the traditional racial prejudices.
I've never played Pathfinder proper, just some of their spin-off properties. I do remember seeing a map of the setting hanging in a local game store once, and it had this obvious fantasy-Africa across from the fantasy-Europe, labeled as, basically, the mysterious jungle continent where the gorilla people live. So, yeah, I hope they've fixed that!
