These are times of trouble: the days are numbered. Legends told us about them. We have names for them in our sacred scriptures: the Ragnarök, the War of Gods, the Apocalypse, the Arrival of Avatars, the Eternal Night, the Infinite Void.
The end of days.
But we are not alone, we are not powerless: the gods are walking among us. They are here to guide us, to save the world as we know it – or to help us reach the land of the Dead.
If we pray faithfully enough and prove our worthiness, perhaps we can be spared.
In Godsend you roam the lands as the avatar of your god, cursing mere mortals and presenting gifts to the chosen ones. Your memories are numerous, made of the lives of your predecessors, your power is almost limitless. Will you use it to fulfil the will of your god? Or, as the end times draw near, will you try to save the world?
Godsend is a standalone alternate setting for Legacy: Life Among the Ruins 2nd Edition written by Khelren and illustrated by Jess Taylor and Tithi Luadthong, focusing on epic mythology and the end of days.
I am still not too familiar with the Legacy RPG rules, but this supplement/setting idea took me on a thrilling ride of expectations and desire to play a game. The story of a world near its end with Divinities, Gods, playing their power games through their avatars is great. The book is well illustrated, as well as through graphics or descriptions of the game elements and their possible implementations. I cannot judge how the rules work in practice yet. But I am surely looking forward to try out this diceless game. However, reading this book is worth the time for any RPG fan.
