Mythic American Indian

This is my GURPS: Mythic American Indian world setting. I represents a world based on the myths of pre-contact native americans. There are no horses, wheels, or functional metals here. Myths and customs come from many different indian tribes, times, and regions. (This is in the fine tradition of Tolkien and other fantacy authors who combined mythic elements from many different European cultures and mixed them together.)

GURPS Materials GURPS: Basic (all that applies) GURPS: Compendium I (all that applies) GURPS: Magic GURPS: Low Tech (Parts of chapters 1, 2, and 3.) GURPS: Aztec GURPS: Old West (Some of the magic. Remember that the indians described here are very post contact. They ride horses, drink liquor, hunt buffalo, etc. Also remember that it focuses on the plains indians, while this adventure covers mostly Californian Indians.) GURPS: Religion

Other Sources Hillerman's Books (or the PBS movies based on them), such as Skinwalkers and A Thief of Time. Cristy Turner's Book Man Corn.

Player Information

The current draft of the rules is on line, here, but it is no where near complete.

Game Master Information

This GURPS world setting is not really ready for use by others. However, if you would like to use it (or parts of it), please email me. I have lots of GM materials, which are not posted here, but which I can give you. I have a complete adventure (The Warriors), plus some notes on wilderness encounters, a "home tribe", and lots of other stuff. I'm very interested in bartering this material for more material: I let you use this stuff, but you let me use the character, tribes, adventures and so on that you develop for this setting.
