Still not forgotten, but we are absolutely buried at the moment - I'll go through things in detail in the forthcoming State of the Mongoose.

Legend
Every year we talk about Legend, and every year we lack the resources to do it justice. I regret to say that 2020 will be no different in this regard – we simply have too much going on to give it anything more than a cursory glance. There are further issues too…
There have been quite a few changes in the D100 RPG market over the past year. Legend certainly still has a place, especially if it retains its Open nature (no plans to change anything there), but looking at things objectively, it could really use a) a second edition to tighten things up – it feels a little too ‘clunky’ for my liking – and b) its own setting.
This all provides food for thought, but I am afraid we will be unlikely to dine on this one in 2020.

Sorry, it wasn't clear that this was from State of Mongoose 2020.

soltakss said:Maybe not. Let's hope that someone picks it up and runs with it. It deserves a good treatment and support.

I agree. I still think there is room in the market for a game with a complexity level between that of OpenQuest and that of Mythras. The new edition of Runequest: Adventures in Glorantha comes close, but is tightly integrated with a specific setting. So there is room for a contender in that mid-crunch space.
