State of Legend

I wanted to get the book sorted today

Does that mean that Matt will get the layout sorted tomorrow so that I have something new to read next week

I am curious as to whether or not the Open GL has lead to an increase in Third Parties signing up to write books for the Legend system? I am aware of the Age of Treason books, obviously, but was wondering about any others.

When I manage to get some free time and can get my finger out, then I'll start producing some Alternate/Mythic Earth supplements for Legend. I'm not sure what, when or how, though ...

That would be awesome - you can never have too many historical sourcebooks.

Time is getting short, but we are aiming to get the PDF up on Drivethru before Christmas!

That would be awesome if you can do it!

As a Legend Compatible publisher, I released a pair of Legend products. So far they have sold ok and I am willing to work on more, but I am wondering what kinds of products players are interested in?

... and this one:

[Bifford]

Ah yeah, I had seen those

Thanks Rust

Well for me I mostly look for a good source of genric Cults, Factions and Cult and ofcourse Adventures that I can adapt and slide into my homebrew campaign.

New settings are generally a big no for me except maybe small ones like a single country that I can incorporate into my own campaign world without having to completely change the rest of the world.

Small-scale sandbox settings might be useful - a village or border fort with a number of local adventure locations fleshed out with a page or two of information each. Alternatively, a hexcrawl style product in the tradition of the old Judges Guild products, but covering a much smaller area. I'd recommend differentiating such products from similar D20 products by aiming for a different feel - instead of a generic medieval setting, try aiming for a swords and sorcery insetting instead that borrows tropes from Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Clark Ashton Smith, and H.P. Lovecraft.

I like what Prime_Evil is saying. I think there is a lot of value in a book like Skarr, and it is easily inserted in to your own setting.

Did Pirates of Legend ever get updated?

 

[danskmacabre]

I would buy a NEW stock fantasy setting 100% compatible with Legend.

It doesn't have to be a really big fully fleshed out world that's 500 pages long..
But should have a few scenarios, some villages, a couple of cities, a worldmap.
gods set out and stuff.
Races set out, character gen guidelines, GM advice, a Bestiary specific to the world if there are world specific beasts.

I know there's other settings that can be used and adapted, but TBH I'm not that interested in them (Glorantha, Xoth, whatever).

It would be a darn sight easier to do it from scratch than convert from d20, I can tell you that. Not as though I don't have fun with Xoth and Spider God's Bride.

Would 95% do? If so, 'Book of Quests' and 'Monster Island' for RQ6.

Check. Both Book of Quests and Monster Island come in at 250-ish pages.

But should have a few scenarios, some villages, a couple of cities, a worldmap.
gods set out and stuff.

Both books have all of these.

Races set out, character gen guidelines, GM advice, a Bestiary specific to the world if there are world specific beasts.

Both books have all of these too.

I know there's other settings that can be used and adapted, but TBH I'm not that interested in them (Glorantha, Xoth, whatever).

Book of Quests is Moorcockian/Fritz Leiber-ish Sword and Sorcery, Monster Island has a distinct Ray Harryhausen, Land That Time Forgot, Clarke Ashton Smith vibe.

Either will meet your needs. Both are very reasonably priced.

End Shameless Plug.

This ^^^^ time about 10,000. Loz and co are amazing. Nuff said.
