Mongoose_Matt Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 A brand new setting for the Legend RPG has just been released on Drivethru - Land of Ice and Stone! You can grab your own copy at; http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/139266/Legend-Land-of-Ice-and-Stone?affiliate_id=7242 Penned by Simon E. Phipp, Land of Ice and Stone is a setting of long lost pre-history. Deep in our distant past is a culture long forgotten, a culture so remote that all we have to remember it are dry bones, cave paintings and stone tools. However, this is a culture from whence we all sprang. Play a traveller on a great journey, a wise woman leading her clan,or a bold hunter full of fear at his first mammoth kill. Using the popular Legend RPG rules, Land of Ice and Stone provides a set of rules, races, cultural backgrounds, professions allowing you to play in the oldest of our cultures – the Old Stone Age. So, come and face the fierce mammoths, the cave lions, cave bears, the strange red men and the most dangerous foe of all – the Icy Cold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jux Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Neat! Wait for the POD version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10baseT Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I've been waiting for this to come out, just made my purchase. Tonight i'm going to break out my dvds of Korg 70,000 BC. Just skiming thru this, the Neanderthal skill advancement, the method to show their more instinctive side is interesting. Gonna have to give it a go. (And please support this with more material.) For those interested in this setting, some good supplements to Land of Ice and Stone are National Geographic issues Jan 1975, November 1985 and Smithsonian October 1986, oh yeah, and GURPS Ice Age. Well, there's alot of stuff but these are rather easy to get and rich with info. (dont forget to watch Quest For Fire too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_clapham Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Really excited about this setting. Going to try running a stone age & sorcery game this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questbird Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Though when I tried to sell the concept to my gaming gang, they just looked quizzically at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_clapham Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Though when I tried to sell the concept to my gaming gang, they just looked quizzically at me. It's definitely unusual. I could see gamers who are anthropology majors/ enthusiasts having fun with this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jux Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 So, will it go soon into printing machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorax Transtellaris Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 As long as it steers clear of the Jean M. Auel kind of drivel this might be neat. Quote RPGbericht (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 As long as it steers clear of the Jean M. Auel kind of drivel this might be neat. Jean M. Auel is obviously one of the sources, as the Earth's Children series is very atmospheric. However, the Land of Ice and Stone differs in many respects from the Earth's Children. Which "drivel" did you mean, specifically? Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

AFAIK research and anthropological speculation for the books were thorough, so there's no reason not to use them as sources of information or ideas. The frequent scenes of makin' whoopee and looking for herbs get tedious, though. Quote RPGbericht (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10baseT Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 All this talk got me jonesin' for some Pleistocene love. I'm sure everyone has seen Quest for Fire. If you havne seen 'Ao The Last Neanderthal', give it a go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0P0vsWAXtg . There are some historical liberties taken and a few scenes a little hard to believe, but overall it's entertaining and worth watching. There's some good story ideas to harvest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks for the link - I always try to watch anything about the Stone Age, so this should be fun.

The frequent scenes of makin' whoopee and looking for herbs get tedious, though. Land of Ice and Stone has herbs, but not in anywhere near as much detail as Earth's Children, I assume that people of the Old Stone Age made whoopee, especially in the long, cold nights stuck in a cave with not much to do, but Land of Ice and Stone covers it as part of Culture and Society, in particular explaining the differences in approach between the Red Men and the Long Men/Short Men, but no frequent scenes.

Month or two more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 So again, will we see the print edition soon? Month or two more? Soon, I think, but I have not yet been given any firm dates.

I have just watched it and it would fit Land of Ice and Stone very well. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

10baseT Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Now for some Pleistocene music for your dining on giant sloth bone marrow pleasure. Ladies and gentleman, Korg and his cave bear femur flute, take away Korg. (make sure to scroll down and hit play on the link to listen to the music) http://www.snipview.com/q/Divje_Babe_flute This is just good meat and potatoes for anyone in the land of ice and stone.

soltakss Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well, that probably answers the question of whether it was a flute! I preferred the first music to the playing of modern tunes, but it shows that flute/whistle music has not essentially changed for a very long time. Thanks for the link - keep them coming!
