Echoing Colin above: this is fantastic!

I’d love to hear more about the rules interactions - my understanding of Pendragon is that there are little systems or procedures for nearly every conceivable thing, so seeing that in action (even just for one set of rolls) would be great.

Really digging this!

I’ll make sure the next post is more nitty gritty on mechanicals! Still learning the system so sure to make mistakes but I’ll do the write up with mechanics in italics. Thanks for reading!

Awesome!

Did you already get the 6E stuff in? If so, how do they compare to 1E (which looks fantastic in those pics)?

physicals are not in the mail yet. I am a sucker for 1980s, so I’m pretty biased toward the original edition artwork.

Also interested in hearing the mechanics that you use, especially the way you decide what happens next plot-wise, how you integrate hunts (incl. who hosts them), any random encounters, and so on. Good work so far, though.

Hunts I’m not too sure about yet as I don’t think they’re in the 6e core…but I think there IS one in the starter box which is on its way to me!

Such a great reminder that, when playing solo games, we do it for our own entertainment. We don't have to be perfect. We don't have to justify our choices or interpretations of the rules.

I get caught up in the “MUST DO IT RIGHT” thing all the time before realizing as long as I’m enjoying things….it’s fine.

This is pure gold. Could you make a small post focusing on your solo rules/mechanics? I plan to to play this solo too :) (Also, I think the starter set I ordered has a solo mode?)

Absolutely. The next one will have all my mechanics notes in italics!

Pendragon is a fantastic system. We started playing through The Boy King campaign way back when.

A Pendragon play through AND Arthurian art? I feel spoiled. I’m excited to read this, I haven’t got around to reading the rule books, but I love the vibes of Pendragon.
