Thread: Wayfarers

So is the Legend+ or something else?

Mongoose originally planned to call the game "Wayfarers", but there was
already a roleplaying game with that name, so in the end the game was
named "Legend".

Ironically a bunch of guys named their revision of D&D "Legend" shortly before Mongoose did. Naming your game with a single word from the dictionary is always fraught with peril.

But now Mongoose is selling something called Wayfarers so the question is: is it related to Legend in any way ?

No. It's the aforementioned pre-existing RPG, which harks back to 1st edition D&D.

To really mix things up, we need to come up with a supplement entitled Wayfarers of Legend.

And then a supplement for the other game entitle Legends of the Wayfarer...

Absolutely insidious! I love it...

We could also suggest that the new Mongoose book ship with a label on its front cover: "No, no. I am Legend!"

But then it might be confused with a certain novel and movie.

Sadly a leg end is either a foot or an arse.

Still CoC(k) survived for decades so it might all work out
