Hmm. Not really. Only in so far as 'barbarian' meant 'foreigner', and even then this is Romans borrowing a Greek perspective. It can equally mean 'decadent over-civilised foreigner' as it can mean 'rough beardy fellow with horns on his hat'. In legend 'barbarian' is a culture type, and you...

I actually never requested my whole allocation from Mongoose so don't have any spare...Mongoose are coming to the end of a sell-off period so I would not be surprised if there are no copies left.

It's one of those weird things where the editing fell short - monsters were deleted from the text of MRQ2 core rulebook as it was ported to become legend core book, and as they were not repeated in the MRQII monsters book (to which nothing was added in being repackaged as Monsters of Legend)...

I have done a lot of work on enchantment in the past, but I like summoning (Evocation, conjuring and what have you) to be a key specialism. Also, it's a neat way to pull more monsters into a humanocentric setting. So an Elf is not a member of a humanoid race but a type of Daemon or Jinn, as is...

I don't dispute that Gloranthan and Million Spheres cosmologies are not 100% original notions created out of nothing (in so far as there is heritage and inspiration behind them). But their implementation is now iconic - at least in D100 land - and I find it difficult, perhaps even pointless, to...

Here's mine: The Earth, Sky and Oceans all belong to the material, or mundane, realm which is itself just one of the three realities that are known to exist (the other two being The spirit World and The Many Hells). The philosopher Atrivaskos of Masia was the first to demonstrate through...

This looks great, I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes. Makes me wish I was playing, I only ever get to GM.

Delighted you found it. And I hope you have fun with it!

It's broadly the same other than the lack of an effective Countermagic under Folk Magic spells. But at least let Avert affect all Mag 1 spells, so the sorcerer can't get away without allocating a point or two of shaping and another MP to Magnitude.

At the moment, no - I don't have a version with the necessary OGL/Legend blurb included to offer one up at this point. May be able to sort that when I have the time and space to do so. Theocracy gets a bit of coverage in Shores of Korantia, as much of the scenario action takes place on its...

Yes, the license to Mongoose expired, and while Matt suggested I should repackage it into digest books and re-release it, I really did not want to burn more time and money doing that with the existing material nor to just chop it up into several books without thorough review and revision. Which...

It's execrable. This is a product released for Legend by its publishers. You have to expect and require that the publishers of Legend know and understand the rules of Legend. You have to expect that someone new to Legend can run it out of the box unless the blurb clearly states to the contrary...

I think the default position is there is no charge for the extra attribute points. In most settings a non-human character may have some big stats but is limited from an RP point of view by not being human. IE people will react badly or at least strangely to them in most circumstances, suitable...

That's a bit open ended isn't it?

Yes that's right - note that 1D4 is the second tier of damage inflicted by a cold source on the table in the Games System chapter of Legend (page 84). and 4 complexity provides complete immunity to damage at that level. The item's effective STR of 3 is deducted from cold damage from more intense...
