I do believe that I read somewhere that Mongoose was reworking Legend though, so its certainly possible. SDLeary P.S.: the first is similar to the OpenQuest cover in 2010, though on it there was a dwarf instead of the closest human, and a duck.

I've not been able to see any mention of new covers on the Mongoose website. The pdfs still have the same black cover, and the release schedule is empty of any Legend-related publications. Where did you find these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why i am asking. Would be great if Mongoose give a chance to Legend again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was there for years. Then i gone to DriveThruRPG to redownload it and... The official covers are all black! What surprise me is that it's a great work, good quality and uses Mongoose logo! I made a "Google Search by Image" to see if i found the origin but no results. Some fan did that surely. But i don't know how, where or when i take them.

Nerun Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 I am starting a translation of Legend Core Rulebook to brazilian portuguese. If covers are fake i can not trust the content. I will use official one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Based on @Newt's comment above, I've removed the images, so that this site isn't a source for IP violations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I kinda wish thumbnails had been left in place: Tiny little 160px thumbs don't seem likely to negatively-impact the artist in question (AFAIK) they weren't links to any infringing texts it therefore doesn't appear BRPC would be a "source" for the IP violations And documenting the infringement seems worthwhile in its own right! Always modulo any takedown request by the artist or by Mongoose, of course!

Its not something they can easily brush off, and its something they have to actively pursue take down. Taking down the offending image, even if it a thumbnail, is the right thing to do and greatly restores their peace of mind. *including Jon, who unfortunately has many tales of people quite frankly taking the piss over the rights of his work. 1 2 Quote Head Honcho of D101 GamesPublisher of Crypts and Things/Monkey/OpenQuest/River of HeavenThe Sorcerer Under the Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking as an artist, I feel entirely different on the topic; but I defer to your experience on this, as you've undoubtedly worked with more artists, and thus have more data. For myself, seeing someone make an inquiry & learn it's NOT an official (and licensed!) product (and state it's therefore untrustworthy) would be nothing but satisfying. 2 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bifford Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Every "Core line" Legend book has just one cover (the black ones) with the exception of the Core book, which has one alternative cover: The alternative core rulebook cover. The "Other lines" also then have their one cover. (There is also the Deus Vault books, but I don't own those.)
