Should've supported House Steiner instead.
In other news, I wonder how the two "[Minority]: The Wakandaing" RPGs are doing.
Wondering what I'm talking about? It's a variant of the "Non-Eurocentric" campaign settings (a buzzword used to imply that all those
older RPGs have
neve tackled anything that's not Medieval Europe, which is pure bs) wherein [minority] gets to build a shining utopia in an alternate history where they never had to suffer through colonialism. Even if the setting is set in the far future and it shouldn't actually matter of colonialism happened or not. They just want you to know that it never happend in their idealized setting.
Into the Mother Lands aka Space Wakanda is still looking like a scam. There's still no word on what
rules system this shit is actually gonna use.
Or maybe there
has been word. I dunno. For the longest time all updates that
actually talk about the state of the game are backer-only.
Coyote & Crow aka Native American Post-Post-Apocalypse Wakanda has actually been released. It also made about 3 times as much cash as Into the Mother Lands despite the latter catering to the more "popular" [minority]. What a difference it can make if you actually know what system you wanna use.
I recently also got to take more a of a deep-dive into thise C&C thing, and it's quite weird tbh.
First of all: the font. Holy shit, just look at it.
Then there's this map of the Missisipi Delta in about 700 years:
I have no idea why there's an Aztec Empire so far in the north.
I have no idea why the Aztec Empire survived the apocalypse when a bunch of white guys on horses was enough to convince their neighbors they had enough of their bullshit.
I also have no idea why the Aztec Empire is so close to the Salish people, who are
also not from this region since they're from the Pacific Northwest.
I guess I'm too white to understand.
Then there's
this:
Tbh, the resolution is pretty shite on this, but what this helpful info box FOR WHITE PEOPLE is telling you that your
Native player
character should
not use drugs for ritualistic purposes because your
non-Native
player ass should
not appropriate glorious Native culture.
I also like that there's a FAQ entry where they explain why they won't be shipping outside of 'Murrica for the time being:
There are a couple of reasons here. First, this our first Kickstarter and I've heard nothing but horror stories from everyone (creators and backers) about international shipping issues.
Bullshit.
But, there's another more personal reason too. And that is that, for the first run of this, just for a little while, I want this to be ours. And by ours, I mean people Native to North America. I want us all to be able to call this one ours for a bit before we share it with everyone else. Indulge me, please.
Get fucked, non-Natives!
