Quote from: Anon Adderlan;926980Gorgeous art, evocative writing, authentic setting, powerful themes, elegant system, respectful execution, all in all an underappreciated treasure which does pretty much everything right.

Well everything right but one.

Well, fantasy, pseudo-Native Americans... how about Gazetteer 14: The Atruaghin Clans, in the Mystara Basic D&D series? (http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/170942/GAZ14-The-Atruaghin-Clans-Basic). I never owned it, and have no idea about the quality of the gazetteer - just came to mind.

Quote from: Herne's Son;926950Nothing for publication, but years ago I did have an idea for a game set in the early Yosemite Valley, with Ohlone indians facing off against evil wolf spirits for control of the valley. Should do something with that some day.

I was going to use it in a Werewolf Wild West game that never got off the ground.  A place named after a tribe that was called Those Who Kill/The Killers and who called it The Gaping Maw is just too good to pass up, isn't it?  Of course I lived there at the time so that's part of it for me.

Which of the hundreds of tribes and dozens of cultures do you mean by "Native American?"

He did say "Any" so I assume, all.

Has there ever been one of these that has had any prominence and avoided loud accusations of racism?

Which of the many European cultures do people mean when they talk about European fantasy?  A mish-mash of all of them but really none of them?  Probably like that.

This is the book about the Native Americans. Also don't have a table of contents for this just yet, just a bunch of notes, and a rough outline...

I have seen this piece before. But not sure where. Dragon Magazine? For some reason I think Gamma World or Metamorphosis Alpha???

Quote from: Gronan of Simmerya;927396Which of the hundreds of tribes and dozens of cultures do you mean by "Native American?"

Any. I have a rather specific interest in cultures of the NW (Wakasan speaking group, Coastal Salish, Tlingit, Chinook, etc), but I am interested in all of them. I find the interest in more authentic cultures over the last few years refreshing from the "Kara-Tur" Panda Express jumble.

The Totems of the Dead setting mentioned above is kinda sorta serial numbers filed off, the North America of Conan.  It's a Sword and Sorcery setting.  The Northwestern tribes would be the Tribes of the Eagle Coast in the TotD setting.  The rules themselves go into things like counting coup, shamanism and spirits, bravery and reputation, songs and chants (with powerful songs even being treasure or the point of a quest), herbalism, more expanded combat options, with options to use some grapples/throws as Tricks, warpaint, tattoos, sports, vision quests etc... The Eaglecoast section specifically gets into secret societies, totem poles, potlatche, etc.

The Gamemaster's Guide has a bewildering array of monsters and spirits inspired by Native American folklore.

If you're looking for historical, I wouldn't look to this for a game about Real Native Americans anymore than I would look to a Conan supplement for a game about Real Norse or Real Egyptians.  It's a fantasy, sword & sorcery, long-lost earth prehistory, that uses rough analogues of historical peoples.  It's more about giving a proper feel to the New World peoples for the setting then it is getting right the historical difference between the Haida and the Makah.

But...the individual rules and monsters are eminently grabbable.

The Pictish wilderness of REH's Hyborian Age make a good NA fantasy-esqe frontier-like proxy setting.

Well, I usually talk about "pseude medieval European fantasy." There were some similarities between knighthood in Germany and in England.  And England and Germany had at least heard about each other.  But the Algonquin had never even heard of the Zuni, and vice versa.  America is bigger than Europe.

My point (and I do have one) is that the sheer size of North America meant that there were a lot of different cultures, many of which never interacted with each other.  I'm tired of "Native American" being treated as a blanket term as though there was ONE "Native American" culture, or spirituality, or etc.  A few years of living among the Buffalo People here in the Dakotas has made me angry as hell about the Tauren, for instance.  If you have tipis and totem poles, you're doing it wrong.

Plus, technically, it's Redneck Whitey's killing Whitey's who have appropriated Native American culture, so if you are an SJW, you win no matter what happens.

Everyone else just basks in the awesome.

Well, by definition, generalizations are all, at least partially, wrong.  Still, it is how human beings organize complex information for the sake of efficiency. People talk about "European Culture" or "East Asian Culture" or "Native American Culture" as if sharing a continent is enough to demonstrate commonality. It's wrong, yet everyone grasps it as if it were common sense.

By the way, the last time I talked to the Oglala Souix, they told me that they preferred the term "Indigenous Americans" to "Native Americans."  I wonder if that still holds.
