Legacy (role-playing game)

Legacy is a role-playing game published by Legacy Press in 1978.

Description

Legacy is a universal system intended to simulate any genre or historical period, but with only enough information to enable play in prehistoric societies. A complex and very specific system of skill definitions requires the GM to create statistics for higher level civilizations. The game includes character creation, combat, and skill rules, and a large section covering how to run the game.

Publication history

Legacy was designed by David A. Feldt, and published by Legacy Press in 1978 as a 160-page book with 48 cardstock sheets and a transparent overlay.

Reception

Lawrence Schick comments on the system for creating statistics for civilizations: "All in all, it's really pretty useless."

Cast

Fortran 5

Fortran 5 was an electronic music band active during the 1990s.

Background

The band were made up of members David Baker and Simon Leonard, who had previously worked together on the music project known as I Start Counting. Around 1990, they had begun recording new material, and realised that the new music had a different sound compared to their previous electropop style. They decided to rename their project Fortran 5 in order to give their new dance/techno style a fresh start. The new project also involved the duo collaborating and working with a number of other artists. These included Kris Weston of The Orb, and Rod Slater from Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
The band's final album was titled Avocado Suite and was their most experimental work; this was far removed from their early electropop sound. Fortran 5 also remixed songs from artists such as Inspiral Carpets, Erasure and Laibach.

Simon Leonard also wrote a book called Fortran 5, which was published by Malice Aforethought Press.
