SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Sorry, the only result a Google image search of "Gerald Durrell topless dancing girls" brought was a very stern look from my boss *gulp*

Gerald Durrell's "The Bafut Beagles" should be required reading for anyone planning to set a game in colonial or post-colonial Africa

The late Gerald Durrell was kind of a very British version of Steve Irwin, back when zoos still collected animals from the wild.  The book is a mostly-accurate account of one collecting expedition in the kingdom of the Fon of Bafut, who had a thing for topless dancing girls.  After a very drunken evening Gerald came this close to marrying one of the Fon's daughters, only getting out of it by pointing out it would have annoyed his current wife

Ah, the Nigerian hyenas, a old forum favorite...

Interesting factoid: Female hyenas have a faux-penis.
