Not exactly, but I did run a RQ3 campaign for several years set in
12th century West Africa (the Kingdom of Ghana, around
Timbuktu). That was a great era, when African kingdoms has
regular visits by Arab traders.
The PCs included:
A Ghanan warrior
An Arabian sorcerer
A manticore (I ruled that the Muslims would accept *anyone* who
converted to Islam)
A hunter from the jungle south of Ghana (where the gold that
sparked all the trade with the Arab world as found). Since that
region was pretty mysterious and subject to many legends, I made
the folk there the cynocephali (dog-headed people) of legend.
