Trifletraxor Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) The first in a new Open Content series for the Legend RPG, Arcania of Legend books will introduce different forms of magic into your games, allowing you to pick and choose which is right for characters and worlds alike. It starts with Blood Magic… This tome examines the beliefs and uses of life force in cultural magic, offering rules, spells and supernatural creatures which thrive upon it. It begins with insights concerning what life force is and how it drives supernatural effects. The differences in animal and human blood are investigated, focussing on what rewards are granted for varying levels of sacrifice up to and including youth or even death. Also included are new concepts of how inherited bloodlines can provide mystical abilities, the consumption of blood endowing strengths and powers, and methods of preserving life (or unlife) by exsanguination. By Pete Nash. 102 Pages. Published by Mongoose Publishing February 2012. Edited February 17, 2012 by Trifletraxor Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest.

Mankcam Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Looks interesting. I've just purchased the print copy from Mongoose as a pre-order. May pick up the pdf while I'm waiting...

Conrad Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 A while ago Pete Nash wrote this about Blood Magic on the RPGsite: "Looks like its been more heavily gutted than I thought, since as well as Spirit Magic its also missing:• Assimilation – The consumption of the flesh of other creatures to gain their powers.• Headhunting – The taking of enemy’s heads to enslave their spirits within.• Inheritance – The gaining of powers via bloodline and birthright.• Totemism – The development of a mystical bond of brotherhood with an animal species.• Soul Sucking – The stealing of life-force by thaumaturgists, supernatural beings or undead creatures to empower their own magical abilities.Pity."Were the edited parts put back into the pdf or were they published in other Legend supplements?

Darkholme Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 There is a spirit magic supplement for Legend, but I have no idea what it contains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nclarke Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It hasn't got anything but spirit stuff in the Spirit Magic supplement. I think it's probably still available from the MGP site. Quote Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 "Inheritance – The gaining of powers via bloodline and birthright" These rules sounded interesting. It is indeed a pity that they don't seem to be published elsewhere. "Assimilation – The consumption of the flesh of other creatures to gain their powers." I'm pretty sure that MW Advanced Sorcery has a spell that does this kind of thing.

Conrad Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I could have sworn in the blurb about Blood Magic on the Mongoose website bloodlines are stated to be in the (sic)boom.Can someone confirm that the rules for bloodlines are in the book? The author says not (as quoted in the first post). Quote http://www.basicrps.com/core/BRP_quick_start.pdf A sense of humour and an imagination go a long way in roleplaying.

Vexthug Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah, the only thing I can find about bloodlines in the book was A Dominate Bloodline sorcery spell on page 52. Miles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 We can only hope that the Mongoosians get enough cash fom somewhere to publish the rest of this supplement. What a pity that the pdf doesn't add back in what was cut out. Mind you, uncut Pete Nash's full fell magic, of the bloody kind, is perhaps too much of a threat to humanity. Maybe some group of plucky investigators did us a favour by removing such eldritch horror? 1 Quote http://www.basicrps.com/core/BRP_quick_start.pdf A sense of humour and an imagination go a long way in roleplaying.
