[Ivanovich]

Character Creation:

1. Pick a critter type from the Classic World of Darkness
2. Pick two of the "Legendary" templates listed below
3. Build your character using your chosen type's rules, adding any benefits from the chosen templates, and being sure to stack things in the most beneficial ways you can while still minimally following the rules
4. Spend 35xp
5. Be awesome

Things of note:
-Everyone has a defense stat (lower of wits and dexterity + 1/2 chosen defense skill [e.g. athletics for dodge, do/brawl/martial arts for parry, etc.]); refer to NWoD rules for special options such as full defense, and note that if you get extra actions you can sacrifice those to defend against individual attacks on a 1-for-1 basis in place of using your defense score.
-Age is a restricted background, you don't get to take it
-For the purpose of streamlining and simplification, characters may combine power stats and/or morality traits from various templates, as appropriate and at GM discretion. This costs 5 background points and is decided on a case by case basis. Examples include: combining Dharma (KOE) and Balance (Mummy), P'o (KOE) and Rage (Werewolf), Arete (Mage) and Gnosis (NWoD Mage, Werewolf), etc. Cost for the new merged trait is either equal to the more beneficial rate, or an average of the two traits, as deemed appropriate by the GM.
-While new templates or types may be acquired in game, at the start of game only OWoD types are allowed. EDIT: Pretty much anything that isn't an Exalt, Scion, or Nova is fair game at start of play, though it is usually easiest to start with one of the major OWoD types as a base template.
-Shifters can buy renown with freebies (1bp/2 renown) or xp (3/renown) at character creation, to a maximum of rank 3 (numbers here subject to change)
-Hunters (OWoD) use the "xp" option for advancing their powers; no one has time to track the advancement of a lesser archetype using super-special non-numeric rules... Apply this concept to other stuff where appropriate.
-Fighting styles from NWoD are allowed, they count as backgrounds (because what Dude of Legend needs money or a home?), and conflicting rules are dealt with on a case-by-case basis
-1's do not subtract from rolls (plan accordingly)
-NWoD to WoD conversions and other weird rules issues: 1) refer to the HOUSE RULES OF LEGEND viewtopic.php?f=82&t=1466; 2) if a power or skill does nothing in the new system, consider it a tax or don't take it; 3) other issues will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
-other stuff, that we'll note later

Continuity/Timeline
Dudes of Legend shares a continuity with other popular Lost Knights games, including: Knights (first summer game), OKC Nights (and spinnoffs), Final Knights (Gehenna campaign), Panoptic Task Force America 4, and Werewolf Nights (summer werewolf game).

The Dudes of Legend continuity, even outside the larger-than-life exploits of its eponymous legendary heroes, is one of over-the-top exploits, world shaking plots, and deep metaplot involvement that takes the world ever closer to the GehennApocalypse.

The timeline roughly follows the OWoD timeline, with only minor changes, up until the mid 2000's. Divergences begin after the start of the new millennium, and include the deaths of multiple antedilluvians and a key earthbound demon. Some important points in the timeline include:

Dawn of Creation: In no particular order, a dragon king that will one day call back the Unconquered Sun to creation hatches, the angel and Dude of Legend later known as Boxcariel falls from grace, exaltations are safely boxed away, the Machine comes online, and a war that destroys much of creation occurs.
Pre-history: Mages from a pre-historic advanced civilization close a nexus to the outer realms and guard it against all intrusion in a place that will later become a bustling City on the Northwest coast of North America. Other similar sites are simultaneously guarded and used as a power source by this "Atlantean" civilization, even as they combat Cainite, Egyptian, and Earthbound empires.
Early-C.E.: Samiel, founder of the Salubri Warrior bloodline, goes on a quest to destroy Baali, gets locked in the lair of Tiamat, an ancient Babylonian fey deity.
950 C.E.: A great mage of godlike power dies and is reborn as the Hermetic mage Frederick Foster Wall, with programming written into his very avatar to avoid the pitfalls of power and seek ascension. In1023, he is embraced as a Tremere instead, but gets to keep his awakened magic as a consolation prize. He is considered a dangerous "success" by his clan, and is under close supervision for the following 800 years until larger concerns distract the Tremere.
c. 1100 C.E.: The Doctor, embraced by clan Assamite, begins experimenting in secret on the creation of new bloodlines over the course of centuries.
c. 1480 C.E.: Patriana, Dude of Legend, Ventrue warrior, fearless daredevil, and (eventually) goddess by her own hand, gains her freedom when she betrays and consumes her abusive sire.
1991 C.E.: Packs of young werewolves fight to reclaim a small town in Southern Texas that was lost to the garou decades earlier. Reclaiming the territory is difficult, as they fight elusive opponents and secret powers buried under the city. Their conflict culminates in combat with a hidden cabal which activates an unorthodox ritual, triggering elimination protocols of the God Machine. The town is flushed out of reality as refuse, leaving the city and its entire population stuck in a place between reality and ultimate dissolution. The inhabitants of the city are thrown into anarchy, and supernatural factions quickly claimed portions of the city, even as human and supernatural alike began to suffer from a spiritual wasting disease. Battling their own obtuse natures and realizing that reality is crumbling around them, the werewolves work to form an alliance between tradition mages, the local technocratic officials, and vampire clans. With the entire city working together, the werewolves are able to spearhead an effort to manually re-anchor the city within reality, and in the process witness the terror of the God machine itself as they transition back to their previous existence. The human denizens of the city lose many of their memories of their time outside reality, but retain an understanding that the supernatural stalks the night. The supernatural communities of the city maintain an awkward truce, enforcing a code of silence regarding their experiences to prevent unwanted attention from elders in their various sects. All events were accompanied by anachronistic music from the film Rent, the comic book guy was secretly a 27th level wizard, and the lead technocrat (strikingly similar to a young Taye Diggs) was the actual hero of this story. The glorious pack of the Stoat pointlessly destroyed numerous signs, the pack of the Monkey King evidenced the ability to open doors and use other tools competently, and Fuck Off pack never returned home.
c. 1995 C.E.: A motley collection of nefarious figures is gathered and conducts a series of operations together. They include a Marauder who mixes up good and bad, a technocratic demonic thrall, a demon reborn in an artificial body, and a thin-blooded vampire who aspired to be more like Caine. They visit the dead city of Enoch and ancient temples deep in the Persian desert. The entire supernatural population of a small city on the Eastern seaboard goes missing in their wake. They eventually are forced into servitude by an unidentified earthbound demon lord and set into motion a series of events to both free themselves and to take their excessive revenge upon those who had the gall to attempt to enslave them. The dhampir Ruth Deckard escapes from her father and goes into hiding after consuming a massive quantity of Caine's blood.
1995 C.E.: Temperence, Gaia's Assassin, Chosen of Coyote, One Who Would Be Awesome, Green Sun Princess and Dude of Legend is born to a shitty family in Los Angeles
1998 C.E.: The methuselah Tertius and his rival fight one another in a shadow war for Oklahoma City, and in the process empower a coterie of morally questionable, highly skilled vampires from Guthrie. Also, Shannon Miller is inexplicably and brutally attacked for no apparent reason; she can never do gymnastics again.
2004 C.E.: Aiden Ramirez a.k.a Spills Guts, cyborg Get of Fenris (later Child of Gaia) Garou, Luna's Chosen Moonsilver Caste, guardian of the Sept of the Stars, and legendary truth speaker, betrays his tribe and kills his whole pack over what he feels was an unjust act.
2005 C.E.: Vampires in The City fight to keep the barriers against the outer realms intact.
2009 C.E.: Dances-with-Werewolves, Harmonious One, Blessed of Gaia, Honorary Child of Gaia and formerly of clan Tremere, gets a job at a Los Angeles Walmart.
2009 C.E.: Azoth ignites inside a dead cat on a rope, a hideous doll stitched from the skins of several different breeds of Bastet. The creature, part man, part cat, seeks meaning and purpose. Finds none, chases darting objects for three years instead.
2010 C.E.: Ashley "Ash" Torrance, Thrice Dead, Dude of Legend, rises like a phoenix from the hell of the perpetually shitty person to walk the world again and right the wrongs of her past lifetimes. Starts writing a blog instead.
2010 C.E.: Michael, the Three-Eyed Wolf of the White Howler Tribe, Caitiff Methuselah of the Howl of the Devil-Tiger, member of the Silver Pack and the Morally Questionable Pack of the Badger, Dusk Caste Chosen of the Abyss, and Dude of Legend, formerly Ian Nairn, is embraced by an ancient Salubri on New Year's Eve, and is then forced to diablerize her.
2011 C.E.: Tremere in Oklahoma City use the body of Troile to empower a ritual to control an a being from the outer realms; the ritual rips the souls from all mortals in the area, and only the actions of the Guthrie Coterie and their new childer stop the ritual from claiming the world. Troile's power is broken and distributed amongst the Guthrie Coterie via the ritual of the Bitter Rose.
2011 C.E.: The Technocracy sends Panoptic Task Force Americas 4, a specialized strike team, to investigate and deal with the catastrophic supernatural occurrence in OKC; the strike force constructs a device that creates a feedback loop which erases OKC from existence. Tulsa is now the capital of Oklahoma, and the middle of the state is a national park.
Christmas Eve, 2011 C.E.: The Pack of the Badger take a magical train ride to the fey realm of the True Fey Santa Claus who stole the mantle of Saint Nicholas. They foil the fey's efforts to claim more children as his slaves and free the imprisoned wraith of St. Nick, but fail to end the evil fey.
2011-13 C.E.: Multiple Dudes of Legend combat a rising tide of chaos in Los Angeles, culminating in the diablarie of Gratiano-Lasombra at the hands of the Three-Eyed Wolf and the utter destruction of the earthbound demon Baal. Massive riots and widespread supernatural phenomena change the landscape of L.A. and tax the worldwide supernatural community's ability to remain hidden.
2013 C.E.: Captain Becket, Void Engineer genius, continues leaping from life to life after an experiment catapults him through time, righting what once went wrong and hoping that the next leap will be the leap home. Finding himself in the body of an unsuccessful detective summoned to converse with a motley crew of supernaturals on the fate of the world, the captain takes a a deep breath... Ooh boy...
2013-2014 C.E.: Prophecied warriors enter into a complex chain of events that brings the seeds of the storied Tree of Knowledge together. The tree bears meaningless fruit, but the series of events set in motion by the quest culminate in the correction of the flaws in the PTA4 reality bomb, the detonation of a second reality bomb in the heart of Manhattan, the destruction of Tremere, the escape of Saulot's soul, the destruction of Augustus Giovanni, the reformation of Cappadocius's psyche, the return of the unconquered sun, the uncertain off-screen death of Set, and a bitchin' blog.
2014 C.E.: Before leaping out once more, Captain Becket saves a young schoolgirl fated to become the Prime. Captain Becket never returns home.
2015 C.E.: A terrorist attack in a Tokyo mall during idol-group auditions brings together a team of magical girls and their various animal companions along with a pair of dashing young heart-throbs. They discover a plot to weaken the magical protections of the city and work to thwart the machinations of creatures from the Yomi Realm called the Wicked City. They hire a reality television crew composed of Ash and Ruth to film their exploits and explain away any supernatural stunts as special effects - their "highly scripted" show even includes a cartoon character added in in post-production to help dispel any thoughts that what they're doing is in any way real.

Compilation of templates that need work still:

[Amseriah]

Is there room for Killer as an archetype, or is that better denoted with the Eternal Warrior?

[rydi]

probably? Something like "assassin" might be a good addition.

be nice if people could start making suggestions though. I compiled all the proposed new ones and the old ones that still need work. They're in post 3
