I promised myself since I'm starting a new job next week I would not wade into another more past my current commitments, but then I had an epiphany idea at the gym today, so here's the pitch let me see how many people are interested.

Legacies Game

This game would work a little different than most games; there would be much greater lengths of time between each adventure and your characters would be expected to be living lives-- getting married, having children, etc along the way because during the course of your adventures you are not just building a single character, but rather a legacy-- a family.

The expectation of the game is that your characters will die-- from old age if nothing else, and pass on both your worldly good, but also enhancements to your family line which unlock bonuses and options for your future characters-- who are appropriately enough the children of your previous characters.

This is based on some of the systems from the old "Pendragon" Arthurian roleplaying system, but I would be running it either in Path 1, AD&D 2nd Ed, or DND 5E, or potentially something like Core 8 (my homebrew d8 based system) depending on what most people were interested in.

Starting characters would be pretty limited on class/race options with the need to unlock legacies to get things like magic into your lineage.

Just an idea-- looking to see how many want this type of experience before I move forward.

Build it and they will come…
I’m fascinated by this idea, so I’ll follow the thread and see.

I'm interested. Occasionally discussed with friends idea of such games.

Systemswise always up for pathfinder 1e, technically played ADnD2e but I was 7-8 (first system :p), and always up for aiding testing a new system.

5e I don't get on with but if you opt for that sure there will be plenty others interested.

Interesting concept, count me in!

No preferences about the system from my side.
