Re: Zinequest 2021
Sold! This is an instabuy for me. I've been thinking of doing a swashbuckling game using Pirates of Legend, so this may provide some additional ideas. It's a pity the hardcopy isn't available outside the US though. Would you consider releasing it as a PoD product later? Or is this not economically v...

Re: Happy Christmas and Best wishes for 2021
I recently set up www.whiteharegames.uk and I have been heading up the Advanced Fighting Fantasy/Fighting Fantasy fanzine The Warlock Returns. Issue #02 released just before new years and I need to start work on #03. I didn't realize you were behind this endeavour! I will always have a soft spot fo...

Re: Song of the Beast Gods & Sheoloth
It would be great to see some Legend out-of-print Legend books released as POD. Personally, I'd love to get a hardcover version of the core rules. It looks like Drivethrurpg supports the correct size, but I'm not sure about the economics though: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/pub_pod_cost.php Also, I'...

Re: Spells of Legend
Maybe there should be two options - a sorcery version that provides an unnatural extension to the caster's lifespan and a more modest Common Magic variant like this? The latter option does nicely reflect the folklore surrounding Taoist monks, Yoga masters, and Western mystics. If you live an aesceti...

Venom Breath Instant, Magnitude 1, Progressive This spell allows the caster to exhale a greenish-yellow cloud of poisonous gas. Creatures in a cone-shaped area in front of the caster must evade or suffer the effects of the venom. The blast of poison gas has a range in metres equal to the spell’s Ma...

Re: Spells of Legend
Good stuff, though I do see anti-ageing magic as more of a sorcery thing myself. I thought about this myself. The problem with making it a Sorcery spell is that the caster can use Manipulation to affect multiple targets or further extend the duration. Perhaps we need a Sorcery spell allowing the ca...

Re: Spells of Legend
I expect this spell to be a little controversial. It reflects something appearing in folklore around the world, but might be a little crazy for common magic: Slow Ageing Duration Special, Magnitude 1, Progressive This rare spell curtails the ageing process, increasing the longevity of the caster. Th...

Re: Spells of Legend
And here's another Common Magic spell... Eavesdrop Duration 5, Magnitude 1 The caster can use this spell to eavesdrop on distant conversations. The spell filters out distractions and ambient noise. For the duration of the spell, the caster can hear a single conversation within a radius equal to his ...

Re: Spells of Legend
I've been working on some new spells for the upcoming release and thought I'd try to share one each day. Here's the first one - a straightforward bit of Common Magic: Suppress Scent Duration Special, Magnitude 1, Progressive This spell removes all odours from a single living creature for a period of...

Re: Entry-Level Game: Legends of Adventure
How are you going to handle Magic Skills? Are you going to reduce it to a single skill per magic type (e.g. Common Magic, Divine Magic, Sorcery)? Or are you just going to have a single Magic skill?

Re: Entry-Level Game: Legends of Adventure
Are you planning to publish this variant or develop it as private house rules? How do you plan to differentiate it from lightweight d100 implementations such as GORE and OpenQuest? For skills, you can consider some Advanced Skills to be specialisations of Common Skills. For example, Oratory and Sedu...

Re: Legend OGL
I wonder if Mongoose would be happy for somebody to create an SRD website - it's technically legal under the OGL, but we don't want to cannibalize sales of the official game.

Re: OGL and Translation
Foreign language publishing rights are a weird area - many RPG publishers license the rights to produce material in other languages to local third-party publishers. Some RPG systems produced under the OGL have trademark compatibility licenses limiting the ability of third-parties to publish their ow...

Re: Legend OGL
Someone should really convert the main open content books to a DOC or RTF. I've done this, but have kept it for private use. I've also got my own custom variant. My changes mostly involve clarification and the addition of a few extra features I need for my campaign. Here are a few sample pages from...

Re: Spells of Legend
I've kept creating new spells for Legend and have an updated version of this work if folks are still interested. If I post this, I may need to remove or rework a few things that were subsequently published elsewhere (even though everything in the earlier versions was technically released as OGC...)
