Legend RPG Official Release - June 17!
« on: June 06, 2013, 03:29:24 PM »
EDIT: WE ARE LIVE. Download Legend.
I'll be GMing a Play-by-Post here on MinMax called "Osaka Street Stories": Check it out and apply here.



I'm proud to say Legend will be coming to a computer you own on June 17. Legend is a Tabletop Roleplaying Game System using the OGL. The game has been created by Rule of Cool Gaming, by which I mean the incredibly hardworking team I've had the pleasure to work alongside in designing, developing, and editing the game.

The journey from Beta to release has been long and filled with unexpected challenges, made longer still by our desire to not ignore issues but to actually deal with them. As a result, Legend is a finely tuned game that I think a wide variety of gamers can enjoy. Legend provides a straightforward way to create characters that still leaves a lot of room for customization. For those who want to get into the game quickly, character classes work straight out of the book, and a few small changes can easily be made as desired. For those who want to craft their character's every detail, Legend's unique Track system, as well as its use of feats and magic items (all of which have a unique impact), customizable weapons, and more means there are so many combinations that you might be hard-pressed not to find a way to express your character.

The Core rulebook, which releases on June 17, will be free to download on the Rule of Cool Gaming website. We're already hard at work on our next release, a comprehensive Monster Guide, providing a bevy of pre-made monsters to further accelerate gameplay, as well as several new tracks for players and GMs alike to customize characters. Yes, you heard me right. GMs and players can create characters the same way. Easy-to-use character creation means new monsters are only a few simple steps away and the Core rulebook provides a sample pre-made monster to get you started.

In addition to all the rules you would expect if you've followed our Beta, the Core rulebook will also include much of our Bonus Content we've released.

Check out the Rule of Cool Gaming website, and on June 17, download Legend.


Lead Editor, Rule of Cool Gaming

Fast question: will this game have a excel sheet with those nice and beautiful tables?  :love

PS: Why the same day as OVA Revised?

Which tables in particular might you be referring to? I am told we will have an autocalc character sheet ready, but I am not sure if that is what you were asking about.

As for OVA revised, we were not aware of the similarity in release date here. It was merely the soonest we could get the pdf finalized (that was also a prime number). Do remember, the Core 1.0 pdf is free and will be available on our website in the link above when ready.

Yep, something like that. And i already got a copy, i'll read it when i get more time, but the Fighter Removal looks very promissing. :)

While my table has tested Legend out (at least the latest Beta) and has decided that it isn't our thing, I congratulate you on getting a 1st Edition release all squared away.

I'll probably pick up a copy at some point, though.

Thanks, Amechra! We're all very excited to see people have a chance to play a polished version of Legend. For those interested in playing, I don't mind running a game here on MinMax when the Core rulebook comes out.

I'd hop onto that; after all, I have a terribad table.

@Amechra: Do you have a genre preference? I can whip up a game ad this weekend.

I'm sure once we hit release we can give you some help with character creation no problem. Just go ahead and describe your concept and we can make some recommendations.

I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is, we named the RPG Legend.

(Uh, what's the bad news?)

It's a baby RPG!
