I have had some thought about this, and I reckon that among the possible new Legend sourcebook titles there ought to be room for:-
- a Steampunk / Victorian sourcebook (which could include the Civil War / Old West, as they are contemporary)
- a Regency sourcebook (Dandies of Legend?)
- a book on courtly intrigue, power plays, daring dalliances and dashing deeds of derring - do, for when the whispered word can do far more damage than the mightiest sword;
- a book based on the Arabian Nights, aka the Thousand and One Nights and A Night of Scheherazade (all wicked viziers, magic carpets, phantom palaces in the sky, winged horses, magic rings, magic lamps, magic bottles and Djinni and Ifrit everywhere)
- a book based on Ancient Greece (Alexander and Athens, Sparta, the Peloponnesian Wars, Troy etc)
- a book based on Mythic Ancient Greece (Olympus, the Gods, Gorgons, pegasi, Icarus, Minotaurs, the Labyrinth of Knossos etc)
- A book based on the Roman Empire
- A book based of Iron Age Britain before AD 43 (after AD 43 it segues into the Roman book)
- A book based on the Stone Age, perhaps the late Neolithic, as it merges with the Bronze Age)
- Atlanteans of Legend (entirely made up and original)
- A book based on the peoples who lived around the Pacific Ocean and became the Maori, the Aborigines and other early PacRim cultures - or if you wish, separate Maori of Legend and Dreamtime of Legend books)
- Legend Modern
- Post-Apocalypse Legend (Another original setting - the year is 20XX, or whatever the current year, and while the dating system and history remain the same, the turning point where our reality and this one differs is on July 23rd, 1999. The year the old world ended in the [insert global tragedy here]).
Anyone here like to pitch in with ideas for their want lists?
