North Africa

When people speak of “North Africa” they usually mean Saharan Africa, though some people exclude some nations in the region and instead include them with the Middle East. For the purposes of this Atlas, North Africa is considered to be all of Saharan Africa along the northern coast and the region typically referred to as “West Africa.”   While Africa is a place well-known for its wildlife and political problems, they are mostly touched on here as they relate to supervillains, superheroes, strange phenomena, and similar topics. There is however, a wealth of excellent material, both online and off, available on the various cultures and nations of Africa. Gamemasters taking their series to Africa can definitely benefit from at least a quick survey of whichever regions their heroes visit.
