My kickstarter for Legacy: Life Among the Ruins is in its last week. We’re looking likely to fund but could do with any help you’re willing to give! If you’re interested in an AW hack that does cool things with your character’s history, culture and legacy, check it out.
I’ll be streaming my second intro game for Legacy (game page: http://kck.st/1zvTNz1) in a few hours.

Anyone interested in a hangouts game?
Anyone interested in a hangouts game? My hack Legacy is currently kickstarting and I thought it might be cool to get a group together, run through setting, family and character creation, and maybe play a few sessions if it goes well? If you’re interested, grab the draft playbooks from the kickstarter page and let me know what time’s good for you below!
If you haven’t seen, Legacy’s big thing is that each character controls two playbooks – a character and the family of survivors they hail from. The character works at the personal scale, fighting, exploring and politicking, while the family works at the organisational scale using agents, spies and armies to get what it wants.

The kickstarter for Legacy is still going strong, and I thought I might show off its setting creation system by running an online game this Friday. Details are in the linked update – message me on Kickstarter or let me know here if you’d be interested!
Just launched my first Kickstarter!

I’m wondering about gender representation in roleplaying.
I’m wondering about gender representation in roleplaying. Specifically, I’m creating an AW hack and I’m trying to work out the best way of presenting gender options in playbooks without being exclusionary or binary. Gender doesn’t particularly play a big role in the game, so it could be removed entirely, but I worry that not presenting an option will cause people to assume a default. I’ve thought of a few options – let me know what you think!
1) Standard – don’t worry about it.
Looks section has Male, Female, Ambiguous, Concealed
2) Less binary but maybe too wordy?
Looks section has Masculine, Feminine, Ambiguous, Concealed
3) Not relevant
Looks section doesn’t say anything about gender
Very exciting day today; my first RPG product went on sale!
Very exciting day today; my first RPG product went on sale! Legacy is an Apocalypse Engine-powered game of post-apocalyptic civilisations and their multi-generational struggles in a twisted land. It uses a pretty innovative setup where each player has two playbooks: one for their family, which grows and changes as the ages turn, and one for the family member of interest in the current age.
I put the first version together in September for the SomethingAwful Traditional Games forum’s design contest and have been working solidly on it since. Now it’s onto the second round of playtesting, and so I’m having a promotion where everyone who submits playtest feedback gets a copy of the full and final game when it’s released. Give it a look, and let me know what you think!
Hi all!
Hi all! For the last few months I’ve been working on Legacy, an AW hack about the survivors of an apocalypse building a new world over multiple generations and centuries. Each player has two playbooks – one for their family, growing and changing over the generations, and one for their character, sent out from the family to solve the problems of that Age. Have a look and let me know what you think!

The world your forebears knew is gone, ravaged by a catastrophe so intense that few living even know its origins. The new world is twisted and strange, filled with the distorted remnants of the world before and the strange new things catalyzed into being by the Fall.
Into this world step the survivors, families bound together by blood or ideology or desperation into something new. You will play through their stories, and as they explore new realms, suffer dark times and celebrate great victories you will craft a new world together. At the heart of all of those will be your characters; learned or savage, diplomatic or dictatorial, your family’s history will be filled with the characters you make. As the ages turn, their legacy will shape the world.
