What about some system of courses and blessings? Not as mystical powers, but more in the line of talents, something that you can buy (or can be buy by your enemy) to bless and course your leader at the begining of the game.

And not just something that affect the pluck checks, I'm thinking in turning him in something strange during the game, affect your movement, reroll checks, etc.

Yes, although the name of that pub is aparently relatively modern, it is named after them. Throw in some magic portals, like the one to the otherworld in Dyfed according to legend, and you have a way for them to appear anywhere.
He that trades Liberty for Security will soon find that he has neither.

We've got the Grand Tour of Ms. Summers, but that's rather blue blooded. Somebody needs to do stats and background for a group of teen investigators of mysteries who travel about in a steamwagon with their Great Dane. Rugged young athlete, lovely young woman, a bookish type and a long, thin drink of water who may be an opium addict. Much more working class,

I'd like to see the island of Dr Moreau, the Mysterious Island, the Lost World and the other fantastic worls of Wells and Verne... I also would like rules for where companies have to fight their way through hordes of something or other, both co-operating and competing. It's satisfactory rules for controlling the masses which we lack.

Any thought to Native American 'gothic'?

Various spirits, manitou, though I suggest not suddenly deciding to see the old Manitou movie.  ;)

Don't know much about them, but the suggestions I've heard about Skinwalkers creep me the heck out.

Of course, those two sentences are actually separated by the North American continent.  lol

Edit: And, if you are about to say 'it's in there', I actually did look, a second time, but I've missed any such reference if there. Just saying, I've been bad that way, of late, enough to apologize before someone has a chance to say something.

Skinwalkers appear to be similar to the Skinchangers in the (Voodoo) Red Sect list and additionally Chevals have the ability to adopt spirit type powers.

Haven't Chupacabra been about played out? I mean, a set came out right after Zombie Dice.  lol

Okay, HAS to be in any Native American gothic, but I'm still wondering if Craig and/or Charles has an opinion. Plenty of obscure 'monsters' not mentioned, of course. Listverse:10 eerie Native American monsters and, more exhaustive, Native-Languages Org: Monsters, those these beg the question: this a separate North American list?

'Countless Native American tribes recall stories of giant snakes' includes some beasts that would make right impressive 'pets'. And the thought of 'underwater panthers...'

Craig appears to continue to be most busy, but answered me to the effect that Gothic would be mostly the 'usual suspects' of European lore.

Of course, the website is always available for other items, so get those lists and stats to him.  :D
