The three sources without which there would be no Majai:
- John Brunner's The Compleat Traveller in Black
- Michael Moorcock's Elric Saga
- The role-playing game Gamma World
Asante sana [thanks a helluva lot] to Majai co-creator Charlie Arnold.

Awards
or perhaps I should use the singular case
This is the biggest honking award I've ever seen. I shall quote what this doth signify: "These are only given to those sites that, through intense effort and sweat, are complete, solid and thoroughly impressive." Thanks to RPG League for their faith in li'l ole us.
Humor
or rather, a valiant attempt
Charlie, on the practice of religion in the city-state of Kharn:
"I mean, this isn't a faith thing, there's no mystery involved. God lives down the
street and if you fuck up, he's going to kick your ass."
And in the vein of "Real Men Don't Play Fantasy Role-Playing Games," we bring you:
Real Men don't play grugs
Favorite non-human species as a PC:
Real Men play Ghjanoor.
Real Role-players play Pardos with unusually high Charisma.
Loonies play small, stinky, annoying Void creatures.
Munchkins play Living Gods, or failing that, the parthenogenic offspring of said deities.
Favorite character concept for a PC:
Real Men play mercenaries, former mercenaries, mercenary wannabes or all-around general
badasses.
Real Role-players play Amari merchants or Amari thieves. But I repeat myself.
Loonies play apprentice stonemasons who fell into the Void at age 13, were rescued by a Void
creature shaped like a hamburger, and have neither aged nor ceased talking since then.
Munchkins play Shifter-Blacksmiths with the gift of Rapid Healing.
Favorite weapons:
Real Men fight with spear or kopis.
Real Role-players throw sharp-edged bucklers.
Loonies try to topple adamas towers onto their enemies. With their bare hands.
Munchkins wield six-foot long iron blades inscribed with the truenames of a few dozen tenga.
One such sword in each hand. This presumes the Ambidextrous gift. Also, the Rapid Healing
gift, in case he nicks himself.
