More great stuff! Really like your Saxon = very evocative! I have often wondered whether Pendragon would work as a solos game - I played 2nd Ed with a group a loooonng time ago & really enjoyed it. Thanks to you I can see that it does! Please keep it up!

Winter events can be much fun - I had 'rumours of a necromancer' 3 years in a row (IIRC) so in the end decided to denounce a cousin!

Haha oh man that’s amazing. After 3 years those rumors must have meant something!!

Thanks for checking this one out!

Exactly! And the fact that I got his manor as a result was ENTIRELY unrelated ...

oh boy, when you described madog's main attributes i knew he would be toasted soon lol

i'm thinking about starting some solo arturian play too, but leaning in the direction of using the quickstart of mythic bastionland as a the system (btw you gave it a look? lots of cool flavor and usable tidbits beyond the system). i love the idea of pendragon but the overrall thing is a bit intimidating and im really no good with bookkeeping >_<

Mythic Bastionland looks super cool for sure. I think it would work awesome for a simpler Arthurian solo play and I almost went that direction for this.

What an absolute *banger* of a write-up! Thanks so much for including your notes on rolls and how you went about stuff.

Very dramatic - can’t wait to read what happens when Aeric awakes!

Thank you for reading! Appreciate the kind words!!!

Seems like one of the benefits of solo play is that lots of stuff happens, which is not always true with a group.

I'm really enjoying your foray into Pendragon, I took an awesome medieval legend course spring of this year which was about 50% Arthurian legend and these play reports are an excellent way to keep enjoying those stories, the stuff here feels like it could easy have been written alongside the original myths

Such an enjoyable read! Would've been really interesting the Saxons had taken a wounded knight prisoner.

You mention "Book of solos" and it seems to be very helpful.

I couldn't find it via google, do you have a link for it?
