Essential Ethnographies offers the convenience of building from preexisting cultures and the flexibility and novelty of working with cultures that are less familiar to your players or readers. and nbsp;Whether it and rsquo;s half-elves inspired by the oldest inhabitants of Europe, humans living in the coldest north (or south!), ogres that see their cannibalism as an act of benevolence, or aliens with a kind of ritualized policing, this series aims to make your job easy. and nbsp;
