Hawaiian Flavor type game?

[Angel Tarragon]

I am wondering if there are any systems or d20 campaigns that use the legends, lore and feel of ancient Hawaii. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Alas, I don't think you're going to find anything other than the Hawaiki material posted here at ENWorld. I know I'd be all over it in a heartbeat -- the Polynesian Craft in "Mage: The Ascension" was one of my favorite things in that game line, as well as the Hawaii setting book for "Changeling: The Unprofitable."

There is a French RPG Legendes:Tahitienes (sp?) which has Tahiti as its base setting (but since I don't read french its not much help)

other than that Whizbang is correct there is very little in the way of Hawaiian/Polynesian material available other than the few bits that Whitewolf had in its various products (like Mage, Changeling and their was a bit in Wraith too about a Polynesian-ish afterworld)

Oh Mongoose's 'Sahuagin' book uses Polynesian (Maori) inspired flavour text

Now if anyone wanted to collaborate on developing such a setting I'd be in

A friend of mine produced a homebrew Hawaiian campaign. She may have some materials still that might be of use to you. If you're interested, provide me your e-mail and I'll put you two in touch.

this is the Légendes Tahitiennes site for those of you who read french (or put it through the Google translator)

Nobackground to add, but Eureka does make 28mm figures to help the players get into the setting.

Its more polynesian than Hawaiian, but Larry Nivens and Steven Barnes wrote a book called "Dream Park" (a series actually) in which the "game" story line centers around the cargo cult mythology of the pacific islanders that grew up after/durring WWII.

It's an excellent series of books, great reads.

Shadowrun in 94 I think it was came out with a very richly described Hawaii for their world. It was more fantasy in flavor then the usual dark future of Shadowrun.

I haven't seen any.

My occasional DM did want to run a mytic polynesia with limited iron game at one point but it got goose egg support from the group. Well OK I discussed it with him but it didn't sound that fun. YMMV of course

good luck
