I love d100 games. Games like Runequest, Call of Cthulhu, Basic Roleplaying, Mythras, and (of course) Rubble and Ruin. Unlike D&D with its tight, corporate-controlled lineage, d100 games evolve in a weird and wild sort of way.* It is fun, but this makes d100 harder for the outsider to jump into without guidance from someone who already knows the system.
To help counter this, with the permission of Raging Swan Press, I wrote Legend of the Citadel on the Wilderlands. This is a free download that hopefully will help the d100-curious start a D&D-like fantasy game in the world of Raging Swan's Citadel on the Wilderlands using the Legend rules. With this free handout and less than $10 USD in pfds, you can try your hand at the modern form of a really old alternative to D&D.
To top that off, I created seven characters for the setting.** I have a one-page coversheet for each of them, and a large (10 MB) zip with form-fillable pdf character sheets.
Summary:
Free download of the setting/mechanics guide.
Raging Swan setting: Citadel on the Wilderlands (also on drivethru).
Mongoose Legend.
Please feel free to reach out to me in the comments or on bluesky.
I have added another post mapping several old TSR modules onto the setting. It is here.
* If you are a science nerd, D&D evolves over time like a mammal. Tightly constrained, with very little branching. D100 games are like bacteria with their reticulate evolution. Little rules swapping between unrelated games, adapting to whatever is best for the current need.
** To do this I referenced several additional Raging Swan products, none of which are very expensive, but this (hopefully) keeps these seven characters consistent with the larger Duchy of Ashlar. But you don't need to buy anything else to try out the system and its setting.
