I don't think anyone here cared enough to actually go looking? Last we checked the devs were begging whitey to buy their product, even though their spent their entire Kickstarter period telling white people they were not welcome.
So, if you've got some interesting bits and pieces to share from the book itself, by all means.
Well, I do have a few things; didn't get to really read too much of the book, so I didn't get a chance to really dive into the main mechanics of everything, but I was able to review the so-called "backstory", the overall set-up for the story, and watch the devs sperg about how non-Indians shouldn't be allowed to play games.
As expected, the game is complete shit. Case in point: the first thing I read was a "request" of sorts from the author, asking any and all Indian players to feel free to incorporate their cultures and ideas into the story, gushing at length at how the natives have rich cultures and myths that could help the world. Immediately afterwards, we get a second write-up from the author "requesting"/demanding that non-native players shouldn't be allowed to play the game at all, unless it was under the watchful eye of an Indian DM. The book started pissing at length at how any ideas that non-native players would create are all obviously based on "Hollywood" and are therefore wrong, and how the Europeans were never able to create anything good unless it involved "slavery" or "torture" or shit.
Backstory-wise, the book utilizes a mixture of in-universe and out-of-universe shit to try and sell the plot; think Hc Svnt Dracones. The "backstory" starts with the author again bitching about how everything was just fine and peaceful for the Indians until the Europeans showed up, talking about how the Indians had a "perfect society" that was ruined by the Europeans arriving and bringing their "diseases and slavery" over and destroying everything. The book then tries to ask "what if" and proposes a scenario where the Europeans never crossed the sea.
In this case, approximately 700 years ago, around 1500 A.D. - apparently the game takes place around 2200 - a massive cataclysm struck the Earth. The book tries to act like the cause was "disputed" for some reason; the spiritual explanation was that a "great spirit" showed up and turned the world into a frozen wasteland for some reason, while the "scientific" explanation was that a large-ass meteor hit the European continent and caused a second ice age. The entire white race was wiped out, while said Indians managed to survive the next several hundred years. According to the book, the scientific and spiritual reasons for said apocalypse are both perfectly true... which makes me think that Earth got hit by Lavos from Chrono Trigger, but that's beside the point. It also doesn't mention anything about what might have happened to Africa, Asia, Australia, or anywhere else; no, as long as the whyte pypeo die and the Indians survive, the author is happy.
Anyway, several hundred years later, the Indians manage to work their way on up to a fairly decent society, at least capable of proper medicine, when they start noticing these strange purple marks popping up all over plants and animals and stuff. By harvesting stuff from the affected animals and plants and injecting directly into the brains of children - so, apparently, the Indians are fine with experimenting on kids now - the Indians promptly turn themselves superhuman, allowing them to create perfect utopian societies over the next several hundred years.
And... that's pretty much it. The book starts rambling how "perfect" the Indians are:
- how they have perfect calendars because Christianity never reached them
- there're no "colonizer" inventions like firearms, vehicles, fried food and coffee so everyone still uses bows, swords, clubs, and knives and either walks everywhere or uses "hovercrafts" or some shit
- everyone is super tolerant of everything and everything is awesome forever
The book does note that the different Injun tribes did start warring with each other again; apparently, it's over territorial disputes or some shit, I couldn't tell. It does also bring up that the Aztec and Mayan and similar societies ended up surviving, but the book doesn't give anything about them, other than that they "want to open their borders and share their culture" with the Injuns, so... there's that.
Notably, I did manage to get a quick look at the ideas for player campaigns... or, rather, the lack of them. I, uh, couldn't find anything mentioning what the hell the protagonists were actually supposed to
do; there's plenty on how to create a character and such - notably, the game basically just copies and pastes White Wolf's character creator for itself - as well as indicating that the PCs were supposed to be warring with other tribes for the sake of land expansion, but not anything really substantial. There's not even any actual antagonists in the damn book, as while it does point out that the Injuns might fight against other Injuns or wild beasts, I couldn't find any stats for anything, and there's no one really villainous either. Just "perfect Injuns in a perfect utopia".
Seriously, there's no point playing the damn game; there's no threat, no story, nothing to do,
nothing. Fucking hell,
Hc Svnt Dracones, which was a tabletop version of
Chakona Fucking Space, at the very least had antagonists and shit to do, but this game has practically nothing. It's a complete waste of time and effort, crapped out by some wokeshit loon with an Injun fetish.
At the very least, it's an example of how not to make an RPG; if anything, I think the author's little Mary Sue race might be a fun antagonist, but there's still not really anything of value here. Certainly isn't worth the +70$ price tag...
EDIT: Found some fags talking about the game:
I recently bought this gorgeous tome and so I have decided to review it for you good people. Appearance Page size is standard 21.5 by 28 cm and good thickness. Font size is large and follows a two column format The color purple appears on the border of every page (reason will become clear...

Naturally, the wokies are all over the game. At least, there's some people willing to savage this shit:
Coyote and Crow made sure to shame white people, now has regrets

Anyone got thoughts of their own? Me, personally, it makes me wonder what other races the wokies want to try and fetishize next; we've had blacks, Indians, Chinese, North Koreans, Jews, Arabs, Gypsies, who's next?
