This is a conversion to the Legend rules system based on an original D20 publication by Morten Braten from Xoth.net.

As it stands now (23rd Feb 2013) its a real mess because of the way the conversion was handled - all of the stats for NPCs are essentially unusable - however, Mongoose have responded to complaints and have commissioned a revision which is currently being worked on. It is unclear how long this is going to take or what the result will finally look like.

My original review: (which is still accurate as things stand) There are some real problems - little consideration of how magic works, how cults work, cultural backgrounds lack detail, NPCs and especially NPC sorcerers and magic users have been very poorly converted. The original D20 NPC antagonists are fairly powerful spell users, here they have been translated to very bland low skill magic users - not only have their spells been reduced to one or two spells - it's usually the same two spells from sorcerer to sorcerer. Much of the characterisation has been lost because of this, let alone the fact that these NPCs are now pushovers due to the huge reduction in their capabilities.

Given that the whole point of this publication is to convert the original D20 book to the Legend rules I think it is very poor value. I would recommend going to to Xoth.net and buying the original directly from him and doing the conversion yourself, it's also almost half the price of this.

There's one plus to this version - it's got better maps.
