I’m running online playtests for the second edition of Legacy: Life Among the Ruins, at 7:30 UK time on Tuesdays. I’d love to have Gauntlet members along!

Listening to the most recent podcast about character death, I realised that while Legacy has rules for character death (triggering a Death Move and creating a relic that lets family members use one of the character’s moves) it didn’t really have space for mourning. I’ve sketched out a move to try and explore the space of returning from the wasteland and breaking the bad news to a fallen character’s family – what do you think?

When you return a relic to its holder’s family, you may spend time with them telling and hearing tales of the deceased character’s life and final moments. If you do, the family’s player picks one:

– Their family gives your family 2-Treaty.

– Your character is now treated as a member of both families for all purposes.

– Their next Character will help your Family with one task.
