Larp osadzony jest w uniwersum znanym z gry Warhammer 40.000. W jej trakcie gracze wcielają się w role inkwizytorów oraz ich popleczników przeprowadzających proces… Jednego spośród siebie. Spodziewaj się więc licznych konfliktów, ujawniania sekretów, zdrady, herezji… A przede wszystkim brutalnego starcia wąskiego grona ludzi o najwyższym autorytecie, którzy za wszelką cenę chcą postawić na swoim.
Black Legacy jest typowym larpem kameralnym z Wielkiej Brytanii. Wszystkie postacie mają jasno wyznaczone własne cele i są powiązane ze sobą siecią relacji i wątków. Gra ma wyraźny początek i koniec. To, co wydarzy się w międzyczasie, zależy wyłącznie od sposobu, w jaki gracze zinterpretują swoje cele, lojalności i wartości.
Główną osią wydarzeń jest proces starszego inkwizytora oskarżonego o herezję, jednak wydarzenia mogą nabrać tempa, skręcić w zupełnie inną stronę i zaoferować graczom zaskakujący zwrot akcji. Należy więc spodziewać się typowej gry politycznej: negocjacji, targów, spisków i balansowania na ostrzu noża.
Autorką gry jest Alex Helm, brytyjska projektantka larpów, która tworzy gry od ponad dwudziestu lat. Większość gier Alex została zaprojektowana z myślą o konwentach fantastyki. Jej gry pojawiły się w programach wydarzeń w Wielkiej Brytanii, Europie kontynentalnej i Stanach Zjednoczonych. Alex stworzyła także popularny, długo działający weekendowy system larpowy oparty o Warhammera 40,000 o nazwie Death Unto Darkness. Oprócz larpów Alex tworzy też gry planszowe, a jej teksty pojawiły się w antologii Seven Wonders wydanej przez Pelgrane Press. Alex jest totalnym nerdem, szaloną miłośniczką kotów i sankcjonowanym inkwizytorem Imperium Człowieka.
