Re: Lejendary Adventure (1999/2005) Unfortunately I have no news on the Mongoose product. I suspect it has been so long that most folks will have discarded the system and are playing something that is actually supported with new products. It is very sad IMO.
As I've found regardless of whether you're playing the game or not "all things by Gary" are worth checking out and Legendary Adventures is no exception. The classes can be used directly with D&D by reversing the levels so thats no problem. The monsters take a little more effort but as some of them were in D20 products thats already been done for you somewhat (depending if you agree with the converter or not! ). The magic items are good you just need a few tweeks. I've never seen the redo or the new redo versions but I have the original players, masters, beasts, screen and some miscellany and I might just sit down and play it some day but I would need someone that doesn't get turned off by illustrations (as some of them were very strong flavored not horrid or anything but the opposite).
I did this a while back as an NPC order and thought I'd put it here as well...(you may have seen it on Dragonsfoot). The Dock Worker Order Low Society The loading and unloading of goods from seafaring vessels has given rise to this specialized group of laborers.
