[QUOTE="Skywalker, post: 723478, member: 1538"] Purchase direct from your website suits me fine :) Thanks for all you answers. I have a further question that should feel free to answer or ignore. It is a little more difficult :) Are the Titans descended from identifiable mythic beings (for example, a Valkyrie) or from a common element that has been incorporated differently by each culture. The Legacies seem reasonably broad and could be modified for different cultures. Looking at a number of cultures' myths there are normally a number of common elements with slightly different spins on them. I assume that many of the elements are actually the same thing and the spin cast on them comes from the culture. For example there is normally a good group and bad group in each culture (Norse called them Vanir vs Aesir; the Greeks - Titans vs Gods etc). Some relics appear common with cultural spins (for example a receptacle that gives life at cost with the Cauldron of Dagda, Holy Grail and Pandora's Box). End of the world and messiah concepts seem pretty common too. Sure their are specifics in each culture too. The way I see it is that this shows that there has been a single conflict occuring down through the ages but that each culture has experienced different (or sometimes similar) parts of the conflict. This is why some common elements exist as well as specifics. The reason I am asking is that writing a backstory to the PCs I was looking to draw upon historical elements and would prefer the flexibility of looking at beings that are common in many cultures (but with a spin from each culture). Hope that came out coherently :D [/QUOTE]
