Step into an alternate future where the shadows of colonialism never fell, and discover a world of advanced technology, ancient spirits, and boundless possibility.
Coyote & Crow is a groundbreaking 480-page hardcover tabletop roleplaying game set in an uncolonized Americas. Released in 2022 by Coyote & Crow LLC, this Hugo Award-nominated book presents the world of Makasing—a continent where a massive climate event known as the Adasqa changed the course of history, leading to a future where Indigenous nations thrived and advanced scientifically and spiritually. Utilizing the original "d12 System," the game focuses on narrative depth and heroic action, inviting players to take on the roles of explorers, warriors, and diplomats navigating the sprawling, high-tech city of Cahokia and the wild lands beyond.
The book is a masterwork of world-building, created by a diverse team of Indigenous designers and artists to ensure an authentic and respectful perspective. It moves away from traditional "stats and levels" to a system based on Paths and Archetypes, where a character's "Adahnehdi" (Gift) defines their unique abilities and connection to the world. Beyond the mechanics, the guide provides a rich history of the Five Nations, detailed gazetteers of the vibrant landscapes, and a deep dive into the "Spirit World" that coexists with the physical realm. It is an essential volume for any gaming group looking to explore a vision of the future rooted in Indigenous sovereignty, science fantasy, and the enduring power of community.
