Your party is now dropped into Liberia, where their equipment and dress changes to reflect these changes.

How well do they fare? What do they do?

There was a guy in Liberia who went by the name "Commander Butt Naked" guess what he used to wear?
he was also a cannibal
>>
>>26773310
Indeed. The glove is also a nice touch.
>>
>>26773317
A ritualistic cannibal, no less.
He drank the blood of children while hopped up on drugs before battle so he could speak to the Devil.
Then he and his men ripped off all their clothes and ran into battle, the satisfied Devil granting them protection against bullets.

So, when the war inevitable starts up again in Liberia, will he go back to sacrificing children to the Devil and slaughtering his enemies while under the protection of his dark master?

No, he'll become the most badass warrior priest that ever lived.

And probably still eat people.

Search the web for Liberia. It's a colony set up by the USA that honestly.... it's like.... no.... you know what..... Lovecraft was right, Cthulhu is real and he is buried, dead but dreaming, in Liberia and everything that goes on in that shit hole is the result of the sanity destroying effect of Elder Gods and Star Spawn. If the choice was to visit Liberia or become a play thing of Dr.Mengele.... yeh...

Get children addicted to drugs! Force your entire warband to dress in neon pink gimp suits! Beware your arch nemesis General Mosquito Spray, though!

Remember this place /tg/. Keep Liberia in your heart. Next time you talk about a society or a setting that "just wouldn't happen because people aren't that fucking twisted/crazy/fucked up" or you ask "why haven't people risen up and made a better world for themselves yet?" Remember Liberia and remember that humans can be fucking insane.

Liberia sounds like such a cool place to drawn campaign concepts from. The best part is how no one would ever believe you there's historical precedent for it. General Butt Naked the Warlord/Priest is totally going into my next campaign that's for damn sure.

Literally the only explanation is Cthulhu.

>Then, whispered Castro, those first men formed the cult around tall idols which the Great Ones shewed them; idols brought in dim eras from dark stars. That cult would never die till the stars came right again, and the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth. The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom. Meanwhile the cult, by appropriate rites, must keep alive the memory of those ancient ways and shadow forth the prophecy of their return.

>Like many involved in the Liberian civil war, Johnson was known to use mercenary fighters to further his causes. One notable example was his funding of Joshua Milton Blahyi, commonly known as General Butt Naked. The General commanded a brigade of drunken or otherwise intoxicated young teenage boys who would fight naked or in women's clothing because of a belief that it would protect them from bullets. Such was the mix of politics, semi-religious belief, uneducated leaders, drugs and utter fall of civil society that typified the Liberian conflict.

>Samuel Doe was captured in Monrovia by faction leader Prince Y. Johnson on September 9, 1990. Doe had been visiting ECOMOG peacekeeping headquarters in Monrovia when Johnson arrived with his forces and seized Doe after a bloody gun battle. Doe was taken to Johnson's military base and tortured before being killed. His ears were cut off, then his fingers and toes; the next day the rest of his body was cut up, cooked and eaten. The spectacle was videotaped and seen on news reports around the world. The video shows Johnson sipping a Budweiser as Doe's ear is cut off.[12][13]

>Refreshing budweiser to wash down the meat.

And today Prince Johnson has been a senator in Liberia since 2005.

That one is from a movie called Johnny Mad Dog, you should see it if you haven't. It's about the civil war and child soldiers, it's pretty fucked up.

Seeing guys dressed like that wouldn't have been odd though. The Liberian civil wars have just been fucking insane, with various armed groups who style themselves after 80's action movies and use tribal rituals to protect themselves from harm.

Not really worried about those. I'm more worried about the bastards with a vision and some amount of charisma. The ones who are certain that they can help and make the situation better. They're the ones who will gather the warbands and make things well and truly fucked.

>>
>>26774946
At least those people HAVE a vision. It's worse when the people who hold all the guns are happier to live like raiders and pillagers. I mean under a dictatorial regime, no matter how petty or insane, you at least know where you stand. You help the bombastic chairman or petty dictator and you don't make a fuss, life will settle into a fairly safe normality.
>>
>>26775091
I can't help but think that Liberia is terrifying result of "a crazy bastard" who also managed to brainwash a horde of other crazy bastards. No vision, no plans for his nation beyond looting, rape and killing.
>>
>>26774864
This is a result of hundreds of years of being royally fucked. This wouldn't happen in my area in my lifetime.

Given time, though...

I'm totally stealing a lot of this shit for my Fallout campaign.
>>
>>26775177
That's after the war, not during the war. During the war the guys with vision are the ones that will come to your neighbourhood and ask who you support, when you give the wrong answer they will cut off the right hand of every male over 12 years and rape all the females. Then they will roll out and tell you who you now belong to. A few months later that fucker will be dead, someone else will come by and do the same thing. All because both of them were convinced that they could take it all and make it all good, they just needed to even out a few bumps along the way.
>>
>>26775251
Actually, Liberia's current state is the result of a military coup that was backed by the United States government.
>>
>>26775263
What I mean is: At least those guys ask who you support, you get to, at the very least, bluff/weasel/lie/cheat your way out of the situation. They don't just roll in, rape your house, poison your women and burn down your well because AHHAHAHAHAHAH OOGA BOOGA BOO!
>>
>>26775384
One is a short term nuisance, the other is a long-term problem.

They're both shit.
>>
>>26775331
That's part of it, but it isn't the reason why everyone is running around in wedding dresses drinking human blood. A lot more than "the CIA wants the president out of power" has to happen before that starts being a thing.
>>
>>26775435
Poverty takes care of the rest.
When you're hopped up on coke and some big dude comes up, punches you in the face, and says that you can make everything better if you just munch on a bit of human heart, it looks like a good idea.

When you're desperately poor, EVERYTHING becomes a matter of "Why the fuck not?"
