Ziggurat - a Legacy Adventure Game
![]()
Ziggurat
Ziggurat is a cooperative game, meaning players must work together to complete the challenges that each chapter brings. The result is a cooperative adventure that you can play again and again!
The Overview
The Heroes
Loyal and Kind. Smallest of his litter. Always looking for a way to help.
Laid-back and cool. Even so, finds a way to include everyone in the group. He's pretty sure his jacket is a little magic. (At the very least he gets a lot of compliments on it.)
The definition of a gentle giant. Always a little sleepy and alway sniffing out something good to eat. Gives good advice.
Aloof and a little odd. Refuses to talk about the big crystal she wears around her neck. Some suspect she was created by a wizard.
Confident, adventurous and rightfully proud. Always on the hunt for glory and treasure. Naturally quick and untouchable in a fight.
Strong and humble. A skilled warrior from a distant village. Poet.
Bookish and thoughtful. Moves slowly and carefully to get things right. More likely to read about adventure than to seek it, but ready to defend his friends. Loyal.
Cool and calm. Gets bored easily which sometimes leads to trouble. Descended from a princess (way, way back) but doesn't make a big deal of it. (Although she still has the crown to prove it.)
Dreamy and a little absent minded. Left their tiny village to explore and make friends. Animals are drawn to them.
Rowdy and funny. Quick with a joke or unhelpful observation. Agile and stronger than appears.
Talented musician and singer but doesn't always know when enough is enough. Eager to please. Grandchild of one of the village elders.
Very observant and smart. Found her cloak while exploring an abandoned wizard tower. Convinced it's magical and that it saved her life a few times.
