    Default Benjamin Banneker...

    ...is white? Whether it was an accident or not, I have a gentleman in my RtI campaign (yes, it finally shipped) with a name exactly the same as our favourite African-American genius. So, was it a coincidence or how does this work?

    Coinkeydink. I don't even think there is a character image of a black guy in the files. It was probably just luck generated, since some people have gotten Karl Marx.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    That could be true. The only reason I suspected it may be in some way intentional was because Banneker was certainly around in that time period, whereas Marx was not.

    It would be nice if we could have multiple culture slots so we could have more 'ethnic' people.
