Know, brave wanderers, that we live in the dawn of a terrible new age. Our great-grandfathers speak of an age undreamed of, a shining time of plenty, when the wilderness was not so wild to us and the earth was our mother who provided all things. That was before drought and famine set each tribe at the throats of its rivals. Before the sorcerer-slavers came across the salt-foamed sea from Atlantis and stole a generation of our people, or the Sea Wolves turned the coast into a red tide of blood and slaughter. Before the Shenites and Skadians came with their new gods and strange ways, and before we knew the fear of Ruskar war parties. More ominous still are the dark storm clouds gathering on spiritual horizons. The spirits were once our guides and allies, but now, with the coming of the mists, terrible beasts that have no place in a sane world stalk through the otherworldly vapors. Our future is pregnant with dangers unimagined. Stay awhile and sit by the warmth of the fire, for it is a wise youth who will listen to what an aging warrior has lived to know.
- Unknown Elder
Totems of the Dead is a fantasy sword & sorcery setting inspired by Native American stories and mythologies combined with the Vinland Saga.
Come explore the cliff-side ruins of the ancient Stone Shapers and seek treasure in the abandoned monuments of the Mound Raisers. Face off against the sasquatch, wendigo and Uktena serpent, or beat back nameless horrors that have awoken from a forgotten age. Rediscover the totems of ancient pre-human cultures. Stoke the fires of bravery in your own heart by singing your death song, and above all, struggle to survive in this savage world!
In this mammoth tome, you'll be able to play a host of Pre-Columbian American-inspired cultures as well as others including Amizani warrior queens, Norse-inspired Skadians, Atlanteans, Proud Bantanu, and enigmatic Shenese alchemist! Play a shape changing skinwalker, a mysterious sorcerer, a skadian rune caster, or even a totemic shaman!

Dark Harvest: The Legacy of Frankenstein Review
Michael Wolf has posted a great review of Iain Lowson's "Dark Harvest: The Legacy of Frankenstein". The book is not only a completely stand-alone RPG but can also be used as a setting supplement for Victoriana as it uses a version of the game's Heresy Engine (which next months "Abney Park's Airship Pirates RPG" also does).
For more information check out the Stargazer's World review: http://www.stargazersworld.com/2011/07/15/review-dark-harvest-legacy-of-frankenstein/
