Would /tg/ play a game about Native American warriors and medicine-men struggling to protect their tribes from mythical and spiritual threats even as white men encroach on their territories and complicate everything?
>>
>>43429749
I've played Werewolf, yes.

>>43429749

I'd rather play it as inspired by real life native Americans then as a historical with supernatural elements. Maybe that's splitting hairs but I think it is an important distinction.

>>43429781
I'm thinking late 17th century.

Technically you could just remove the wolf-changing aspect from an all Wendigo/Uktena/Croatan campaign, but it's kind of hard to imagine Werewolf without werewolves.

>>43429749
No.

If the 90s taught me anything it's that this game will turn into a round of "its all the the white man's fault, feel ashamed of shit you didn't do!"
>>
>>43429749
>>43429824
Speaking of which, it also depends a huge deal on what kind of native American you're talking. Algonquin ain't the same as Cherokee ain't the same as Comanche ain't the same as Nootka ain't the same as Navajo.
>>
>>43429749
Yes.

But i'm just as interested (or even more than that) in central and south-american precolumbian politics and adventures.

From the Inuit to the Mapuche, and everything in between that's been bastardized by mayincatec stuff in popular media, America doesn't get the fantasy love it deserves.

I mostly want to focus on the fact that the natives are familiar with the supernatural ecology of the New World, which the Europeans are naively disrupting and thus causing a ton of damage to the spiritual landscape which only Medicine Men can fix. In such a setting, clueless Native Americans would be just as dangerous to bring the England, where they'll disturb all the fairies and hobgoblins and wake up all those grumpy buried Celts.

I have to agree.

Why shoehorn in le evil white man ruining everything? Why does their own ancient history, full of their politics, wars, invasions, heroes and legends, have to always coincide with 'the white man'?

Do some research and set in North America before white man. There's enough variety in tribes for God's sake. Enough languages and creatures. Have viking relics if you want. Left-over clans of vikings who've been living in the wilderness contributing to 'little people' legends. Don't just force in ebil white man to make it edgy and controversial.

the white people that migrated to north america, at least in the english case, attempted to live in harmony with the indians initially and even when they were first attacked tried to not resist. eventually they were attacked so much that they had to respond in full, tribalistic collective white vs red force

so if we go by modern morality it was the red indians who initiated force against peaceful white immigrants and thus are horrible bigot racists

It's interesting how so many posters took the phrase "white men encroach on their territories" to mean "SJW SJW SJW!"

The white men thing seems kind of pointless other than introduce an edgy, controversial element, though.

I mean, Native American spiritual and monstrous threats are plenty interesting without shoehorning in white settlers. How do you expect the whites to be portrayed? OP never mentioned how he'd do so, but it's not that big a stretch of the imagination go into full stereotyped demonization territory. If OP's still around I'd like to know.

>>43432099
No, he said they were fucking up the supernatural ecology. He even went on later to specify that a Native American in England would cause just as much damage by disturbing their spirits (i.e. fairies). The Europeans don't know the local spirits and their customs, so they would naturally annoy them, which causes problems. Nothing to do with Europeans being inherently more destructive or imbalanced.

they were going to block western migration across the Appalachians and guarantee native sovereignty west of that range.

You mean the English back in England said "Don't fucking move beyond the Appalachians!" and the settlers were like: "B...but muh homesteads, muh land speculation that's going to be paid for in settler's blood!"

>OP didn't say anything about native Americans being peaceful or in tune with nature

The coastal tribes tortured their prisoners to death ad hunted fish by dropping poison into rivers, so that idea's pretty funny.
>>
>>43432427
The thing is that by the time the Iroquois slowed down they had encroached into North Virginia and they were taking out most European allies.

Which isn't to say they weren't in some twisted way justified considering they had been pushed out of their own lands shortly after the first few waves of settlers came in and armed their enemies. Things didn't really take off until Europeans started joining skirmishes, which really pissed them off and caused them to go on the war path to not only reclaim the fertile lands they had been chased away from, but to punish the people who had caused their losses in the first place.

>>43432453
It doesn't help that due to lack of giving a fuck combined with the fact that every native language had a different name for each tribe, things got kind of fucked up and so there was a lot of generalization. To use my example of the Iroquois once again, the "Iroquois Tribe" is actually a confederacy of five different groups of Native Americans that banded together with a surprisingly advanced political system.

A decent amount, depending on the culture. In general, they were very much behind the rest of the world in development (like how the Chinese had mass produced assembly line weapons while parts of Europe and Africa were still figuring out copper) so much of the culture was relatively unchanged, as most were still in a stone age technology level, with a few budding copper age tribes.

Then of course is strong oral tradition at this technological/cultural level. There were also a few north, central and south american cultures that had written language, and people who still used it to ask what it means. By the time your writing info, you tend to also record history.

Try doing an AU of North America in which Europeans, for whatever reasons were unable to settle it. Maybe there's krakens in the Atlantic or something.
As a result, civilizations progress to a classical/ dark ages level of technology (chainmail and iron swords) that sort of thing. Remember that conflict between various nations cropped up a lot, so expect the same level of conflict that we get in Medieval Europe. Also, do try to look into lore and values of various peoples.
>>
>>43439592

This is interesting on a couple of levels.

Firstly, although there were numerous language in pre-Columbian America, cultural groups could be broken down into about a dozen nations. At least from an archaeological perspective.

Secondly, without the horse,what would Native combat look like in the Iron Age? European combat was dominated by cavalry until shortly after the widespread adoption of firearms, if not longer, and use of cavalry extended into WWI at minimum.

While I imagine that they'd give it their own spin, I figure northeast indians arms and armor would be like norse vikings: chainmail shirts (if you're lucky) straight swords and axes (especially axes, tomahawks y'know).

And not just aesthetics either. Raiding other territories for loot was always a big part of both native and norse adventuring. What's even more interesting is that both practiced adoptions: defeated captives, orphans and even warriors were taken in by the victors as one of their own after success.

The lack of horses however is indeed a big one. While they are definitely a European introduction, they changed plains culture up so much it seems like a shame to do away with them. If we're talking fantasy, then we could use some kind of magical/fictional being instead, like the Halla from Dragon Age.

>>43440308
Ah. I feel you. Problem is, we really can't guess at all considering that we REALLY through off their natural development. If I was to circle everthing in >>43440295 pic, that was trade goods....

For all we can guess, the northern natives would be armoured nobles on domesticated moose, the south east natives using gators in warfare, the South and central tribes who were technologically superior may have moved their empires north in to north America etc.

And yet none of them invented the wheel.
>>
>>43440368
Then again, the mayans came up with the concept a Zero. And they didn't have the wheel either.

And you're right that they began to rely on a lot of trade in the later years. Textiles in particular aren't really found in North America, they all made do with hide and fur. I suppose you could import certain luxuries like linen and llama wool from down south. I'm going to go out on a lam and think that they'd figure out how to do things like iron, glass, woodwork etc. Take a look at the northwest plank houses (the Salish, Haida etc) for ideas on architecture.
>>
>>43440368

>And yet none of them invented the wheel.

>>43440295

I kind of disagree with the introduction of horses, I always found plains cultures more interesting before horses.

Massive earthen fortresses placed on high points overlooking swaths of river valley and the use of enfilade before the idea occurred to Europeans.

As I consider it, the Plains would lend well to Feudal states.

On the other hand, what does one do with the West Coast? Agriculturalism is considered the backbone of societal development beyond hunter/gatherer, yet the North West had such natural resources that such developments were unnecessary.

I've been thinking of doing this, but expanding inspiration through East and Central Asia, and making it an Eberron game in the more remote corners of Sarlona. It'd refocus colonial tensions on something other than 'ebil wite man', open up more pre-complex cultural inspiration, among some other things.

This is the animal that killed 90% of all human life in North America, Anon. This is the harbringer of doom and the engine of the invader's Manifest Destiny.

Or at least that's how we currently explain how large swathes of North American went from: "holy shit, so many goddamn injuns" to: "Nope. Just some pigs." within a few decades.

You are either not a native English speaker, or purposefully subverting my post to attempt to save face while being incredibly pedantic.

To clarify either way, the Mayans were not the sole inventors and/or originators of the concept of zero, as it is a natural development for any culture that studies mathematics.

I had a setting where the colonization of North America ultimately failed.

This was for a variety of reasons, including the economy of mantaining such colonies, the ecology as the Pleistocene megafauna was still extant, and supernatural reasons, investigating why this happened was one of the possible things to do in this setting.

Whatever people were brought from the other side of the pond were simply abandoned there, and assimilated into the native civilizations.

The player characters were basically doing post-apocalyptic things, but without an Apocalypse proper, the technologies of the would-be colonists became the stuff of legend: "a stick that summons thunder you can kill a mammoth with", "floating houses", etc. - legends that the players might not immediately associate to the actual item.

You're the one who thinks that, nobody is saying it.

It's not even about morality. It's simple fucking history.

There were Native Americans here.
Now there are white people.
We took their shit and its ours now.

No amount of crying about being demonized or wronged changes that that is what happened.

Morality on the macro scale is bogus anyway. When it comes to the possession of resources, saying the Native Americans deserve this clay more than the white who came and took it is meaningless.

No.

1. I'm pretty sure I'd get so much shit wrong about whatever culture I'm trying to portray.

2. It would turn either into a leftist political circlejerk (which I'm up for, but not in lieu of an RPG session) or people justifying atrocities.

3. It would be way more fun to have players be able to play as Native Americans or white people near the end of the Old West era, where there's still tension but outright violence is a little bit less common, working together to combat some kind of supernatural threat.

>If you're into wild west setting comics, some series I'd recommend would be Greg & Hermann's "Comanche", Jodorowsky's "Bouncer" and Derib's "Buddy Longway".

I translated abour five books of Buddy Longway and put them online somewhere. It's a pretty good series, at least until he goes fully retarded with the evil white people. He kinda made up for it in The Way of the Shaman (though that one's basically a picture book about pre-contact native american culture) and Red Road.

Comanche was nice as well, though it's a much more regular wild west story.

>cute little aztec

Jean-Yves Mitton illustrated a series about an Aztec woman.

Mitton is basically torture porn central, FYI.

On a semirelated note, is there any system that focuses on the characters skills rather than stats? like, instead of raising strength or finding some über macguffin weapon, you can improve your characters weapon proficiency, foes weaknesses or reaction initiative?
