[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 2373849, member: 4275"] Your question warms my heart. I posted this on my blog yesterday. I am about 50 pages into the next major Legends book so I think its time to make an announcement. For those of you who are members of the Legendsrpg yahoo group, you've already heard this (that's right- I filter information out slowly like the CIA taking over a South American country for General Foods). The next Legends book will be Legends of the Dark Ages, covering Europe from the Fall of the Western Roman Empire through Charlemagne (476-814). While there will be magic in the game, the goal was to do a more historical take on the period (since arguably Excalibur is a dark ages book as well). I think for those with an interest in historical gaming this would be a big hit. Also I think there's a lot here for the Excalibur player/gm. Dark Ages has a lot of info on barbarians, including a couple of new core classes (Marauder and Nomad) and a barbarian bloodline. The core class list is shaping up along these lines: Charlatan Hermit (from Excalibur) Holy Warrior Marauder Mercenary (from Legends of Carthage) Monk Noble (from Excalibur) Nomad Seer Skald (from Excalibur) Soldier Thief The book will also provide a fairly indepth history of the period and a period specific equipment section. Included in the equipment rules will be information on mounted combat without stirrups and a complete armor and weapons chart for wrought iron, the strongest metal of the dark ages. As always, questions and comments welcome. Chuck [/QUOTE]
