Lejendary Adventure

Introduction

Here is an easy to read and follow adventure module that enables you, the LM, to gather a group of new players together and have all

concerned participate in and enjoy the Lejendary Adventure RPG in a very short time, even if they are not familiar with the rules or even

with role-playing.

You will need all the usual trappings of the LM, of course. So in addition to Avatar Record Sheets and dice, have your Lejendary

Adventure Essentials set handy!

Now let’s quit wasting time and get to the play! Read the following aloud to the players. As with all such passages to be read aloud to

players, it is printed in bold italics:

Not many days back, you were a group of strangers. What changed that was the long ride you shared, the journey that brought you

the little hamlet in which you now rest and consider your options. The caravan has moved on. Not wanting to spend yet more time

traveling with traders and merchants, a handful decided to ind a separate and more adventurous path. Who are these daring souls?

You for one, and you, and you…

Advice for the Lejend Master

with a New Player Group

Encourage the new players to detail the background of their Avatars. Be sure that the players describe their Avatars in writing, adding some

other personal details before the adventure commences.

Have each player answer in writing on his ARS or a separate sheet of paper the following questions, as you read them aloud: What is your

Avatar’s name?

What is the general appearance (handsome, average, homely) of your Avatar?

What is the general body type (muscular, stocky, lean, thin, etc.) of your Avatar?

What is the height in feet and inches and weight in pounds of your Avatar?

What is the hair color and length/style and eye color and size/setting of your Avatar?

What sort of complexion (pale, ruddy, tan, brown, olive, bronze) and distinguishing marks (if any) does your Avatar have?

What is the general dress (and click two Equipment picks for this ) of your Avatar? Speciically tell us:

Does your Avatar wear a hat or head covering? A headband?

What outer garments are worn? Their style and color?

Does your Avatar wear a belt, girdle, or sash?

What sort of footwear is worn?

Are there such accouterments as a backpack and pouches?

When all have written the answers, have each player, in turn, read the information aloud for the group by way of introduction.

When the above is done for each player suggest:

Is there some other information that comes to mind regarding your Avatar?

Is there any other feature or trait of Avatar person or personality of your own concept that your associates would likely note?

The player can mention any attitude or expression (of word or visage) of his or her making that associates would likely note. Encourage

such inventiveness!

Avatar’s Honored Deity Selection

As this is a deity-active game, have the players select one for their Avatar from a “short list” of deities from one of the following

pantheons, the moral and ethical status of each deity therein indicated to at least some extent. Where time is essential, use the Olympian

Pantheon as a default , have the players select from that list. Only Ecclesiastics must announce to the party which deity they directly

honor, this initially evident through wearing of an appropriate symbol or object.

Read the following text aloud to the players, skipping that portion in parentheses if you have assigned the Olympian Pantheon as a

default one:
