You’ve landed in paradise. What will you make of it?
Humanity at last stakes a claim among the stars. But building a colony on a strange new world is about more than mere survival. To thrive, you’ll need to balance the demands of competing political factions, each vying to leave their mark on humanity’s new home.
Worldfall is an alternate setting for Legacy: Life Among the Ruins 2nd Edition written by Katherine Cross and illustrated by Claudia Cangini and Tithi Luadthong, focusing on the political, logistical and environmental challenges of forming a colony on a new world. Form strategic alliances that produce wild new ideologies.
Work towards a constitutional convention that sets a tone for life on the new world. Reach for more distant horizons, and at last return to the stars.
A lifelong friend of fantasy and romance, Katherine Cross enjoys stories with rich world histories and characters with a touch of the exotic. She has traveled to Egypt, Morocco, Spain and Italy (among others) and is constantly inspired by different cultures and ways of life. She considers the Appalachian Mountains her home and finds the rich fall colors the perfect spark for her imagination.
Once again a great supplement to Legacy, now inspired by Alpha Centauri.
I really liked the written content side of Worldfall. Different political views clash in a sci-fi setting on a new planet. It reminded me of Alpha Centauri right away, and, unsurprisingly, AC is mentioned as the main source of inspiration. However, any similar sci-fi (like Earth 2) could serve as well. The political groups (cabals) match usual earthly politics, but they still manage to get their sci-fi twist. I really liked the roleplaying suggestions provided for each cabal. In general, the rules do not diverge that much from vanilla Legacy but there is one big change in the creation of a planetary council, something like UN, which allows the cabals to play out their political struggles even more. What I personally did not like that much was Cangini's art that came across as too comics-like for the setting and topic. I would prefer something along the lines of political agitation posters. But the game itself looks great.
