Here is what I had in mind: A 2d6 system that is based on BoL yet is more vanilla at first. It is intended for casual play, easy to pickup for a one-off or mini campaign. At first the idea is that the player(s) are clearing out a small area (map is basically a letter sized piece of paper if tokens/miniatures are being used) in a timely manner-if the small foes are not vanquished bigger threats things start to arrive. As a variant there are no specific Lemurian trappings, yet those can easily be added. There is one career for each player and one trait to start, two traits if you play a non-human or want another trait as a human, yet then you get a flaw. More flaws can occur during play. The setting is more playfully eerie in look than as horrific as BoL can be.

It was just an idea and I can flesh it out for 2d6 or even BRP or just ignore it and focus on graphic novel work. At this particular point I am not worried about it, it was just a random idea.

That is more of a question for Mr Washbourne as I am only familiar with v2 on and v2 only says:

I do agree about the older version's layout and with le Grumph's art I find Legendary the most pleasing version and I bought a few extra copies of that to have around, although with the Everywhen S&S Codex and Mythic+ I am very comfortable with throwing in more than I would if running a D&D style game for some reason, which might just be my addled brain. Eerie demigods, losing popularity and sinking like falling stars ride in chariots pulled by axebeaks to dazzle the crowds and hunt their foes as rhino-men from another plane secretly hunt humans because they heard that on some worlds humans hunt the rhinoceros for its horn.
