With the alternative sorts of campaigns making their appearance, has anyone heard of a Native American campaign setting?

Totems of the Dead is a really good setting for Savage Worlds based on what's essentially a mythical version of North America before the Europeans started taking over. There's lots of fantastical elements in it -- such as the presence of Atlantean refugees and Amazons in the far south -- but it really wouldn't be too hard to ignore those and run it as a more realistic setting.

The only other game specifically focused on Native Americans I can think of would be How We Came to Live Here, though I can't say that I know much about it.

Purely NA theme or Wild West theme?

From the perspective of who? PCs are part of the culture? PCs are fishes out of water?

In addition to these, there is Maztica, a D&D fantasy world inspired by Central American myth and history. Along with How We Came to Live Here is also another small indie game, Ganakagok. GURPS has a good book of GURPS Aztecs for adventures in that empire.

Deadlands, Shadowrun, and Northern Crown have Native American elements in the setting, though they are not the focus. (I wouldn't count Torg's domains in America as being at all Native American.)

Pathfinder has a new world analogue called Arcadia but there's not much information about it.

Yes, I had written some Fudge rules around 2003 for an Age of Reason / Native American LBB style RPG that I created. I played a few games of that, and hosted Patriot at a couple of conventions from 2004-2007. The most popular thing that still sees a lot of demand is a 17"x22" 5-mile to the hex map of the Middle Atlantic Colonies from Virginia up to Massachusetts, and I have a new map in the works now (This year) for it (a Work-In-Progress) of Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire.

Here are a couple reference photos of the maps. When I get home from work later this evening, I'll unload additional images of some of the artwork that I had commissioned for that, as well as sneak preview of the rules. Of course Fate would probably be better than Fudge, but it is easily adaptable in it's current form for any experienced Fate GM.

There is a new set of war game skirmish rules and accompanying miniatures range based on pre-European contact North East Woodland Cultures, especially the Huron/Iroquois Confederacy war. http://pulpfigures.com/huron_iroquois_war/

Could be either but primarily talking about NA only.

Really nice maps!

I have been digging into the history of NW Native American history because of another project, and it made me think there should be some way to work it into my DCC campaign.

Nothing 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.

Full of heart, but an obvious first attempt and in drastic need of an editor (and 2nd edition).



New Fire: Temikamatl Book of Dreams

Technically Mesoamerican, but that's a kind of Native American, so it counts. Gorgeous art, evocative writing, authentic setting, powerful themes, elegant system, respectful execution, all in all an underappreciated treasure which does pretty much everything right.

Ok, so, I'm back from work and going through my notes on this. There were three books for the series;

Book 1, Patriot - Roleplaying Adventure during the American Colonial Era
This is the book about the colonists... The books were all original designed as 8-1/2"x11" soft perfect bound

I really should work to get this finished in 2016. I do my own maps, However I have more commissioned artwork from three different artists for these books, including Stephan Poag art (He did interiors for me on Books 1 & 2).

Quote from: Lynn;926937Could be either but primarily talking about NA only.

Dragon had articles on playing a purely native style campaign. They had one for the Ice Age, one for Native Americans, one for Aztecs, and one for Africans. The quality varied greatly from "read a history book" to some details. Probably the Ice Age and Maztica articles have the most useful info that can be adapted.

Northern Crown is not a purely NA setting but it is set in the Colonial Era and has a whole lot of NA material.
