LEGEND MASTER
READY TO START YOUR ADVENTURE?...
Tired of JUST consuming OTHER people’s ideas of adventures in books, games, and movies? Now is your chance to CREATE your own legend! The “anchor” player of every group adventuring in the world of Terrath is the “LEGEND MASTER” (LM). The LM is the lead storyteller and referee for the group. The LM is responsible for setting up the game, knowing the rules, playing as all the non-hero characters, and helping to make the experience as fun as possible for everyone!
The best LMs are quick improvisers, succinct communicators, energetic character performers, and capable of maintaining a healthy pace of gameplay for the whole group. While the greatest responsibility lays in the hands of the LM, they also enjoy the greatest creative freedom!
BECOMING A “LEGEND MASTER”…
Heroes of Providence Eternal is built on the “LEGEND” tabletop gameplay system. It is a turn-based roll-playing tabletop board game that encourages improvisation, creative use of combat mechanics, and building rich, personal stories with your player characters. LEGEND can be played with paper on your kitchen table at home, or online remotely through the free game/video chat platform, Roll20! To start your adventure, connect with 2-5 other players interested in grand adventure and set a time to play!
PREPARING YOUR GAME
After you have identified your posse of 3-6 players (including you), set a date, and decided if you are going to play in person around a table or online free through Roll20, it is now time for the LM to set up the game. The more time the LM and players put into prep, often the better the game is, and the more engaging the story, puzzles, and character moments can be; but the game is built to be able to dive right in and have improv-focused fun with minimal prep, just as well! To get started...
1. PROVIDE
...each of your players their choice of class to play from the link here: CLASS OPTIONS. Encourage them to choose different classes for variety, but the game can be run just fine with a group of any combination if needed. (Just be sure to make available a few healing potion vendors before they run off into the dangerous world without a healer!)
2. DESIGN
...the campaign! You can either choose from one of our pre-made campaigns, or create your own custom campaign using the character pieces and maps we provide free, as well as any materials you assemble for yourself. To get creative ideas for custom challenges and puzzles for your players to face, check out this great free guide!
3. ASSEMBLE
...the elements! If you are playing in person at a table, print out any maps, character sheets, and player game piece tokens you are planning to use. Dive in fast with our pre-made swashbuckling adventure free to download here! If you are planning to play remotely online, build your campaign in Roll20 FREE using this super helpful guide!
4. PLAY!
Once your posse is assembled in person, or online, begin the game! As an LM, it is your privilege to create moments that help your players feel epic, and explore their hero’s story! If a player has a creative idea, lean into a “yes-and” style of improvisation, make them roll, and empower their characters to help drive the story!
