ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
After a wealthy patron hires the crew to investigate a mysterious disappearance in the Permanent Ice Zone, players discover a town that shouldn’t exist that makes them question what it means to be human, and what it means to be...a monster.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Coyote & Crow is a TTRPG developed by a Native-led team, set in an America that European colonists never reached. The world of Coyote & Crow has been shaped by the Awis, a climate catastrophe that almost destroyed the world. Peoples were cut off from each other by glaciers and stormy seas, causing highly advanced civilizations to develop independently all over the world. In short, the setting boasts a fascinating blend of futuristic technology and ancient magic: picture Shadowrun without the capitalist dystopia and you’ll be on the right track.

As players, you are diving into this unique world 700 years after the Awis; the ice is melting and the waters are growing quiet. The world is healing, but that comes with its own host of new problems. What’s beyond the only civilization you’ve ever known? What happens when your people no longer need to band together just to survive? And could there be some truth to the rumors of mythical monsters stalking the wilds? This world is not a dystopia, but instead one filled with exploration and wonder.
