The point is not simply to insert Indigenous imagery into a familiar fantasy frame. The stronger claim is that Indigenous authorship, sovereignty, accountability, and futurity should shape the game&rsquo;s world, procedures, and publication culture.</p> <p>This means Indigenous TTRPGs are not defined by one genre. They can be historical, fantastical, near-future, science-fantasy, horror, or educational. What matters is that Indigenous people are not treated as raw material for someone else&rsquo;s setting.</p>
