Thanks Morien. And thank you for all the advice you had in your posts about tweaking the rules and introducing the game. Really useful!

Thank you so much for these prompt replies, it has been really helpful. I'm looking forward to digging deep into the system. It seems well suited to solo play. Particularly in the way that the traits and passions define a character and guides their actions when you are not sure what to do, and in the amazing number of story seeds and NPCs that the system throws up simply through things like the family tree and the winter phase. I am using the Mythic GM emulator for the adventures that emerge through play. I am guessing that, when it comes to group play a smaller number of players (2-3) is ideal? I can imagine that the bookkeeping side of things could get pretty monstrous with large tables. Thanks again Bill

I know this will be superseded when the new edition comes out but I am running a solo 5.2 pendragon campaign and struggling a bit with the battle system. Am I right in thinking that you can only access a special event in a battle if you are mounted facing mounted troops or on foot facing other footmen? The mounted vs foot table doesn't have this as an option. I am confused as to why this might be. Also, the followers fate table presents losses percentages - is this purely for fiction purposes? It doesn't seem to have an impact on future rounds of battle? I know I'm a bit late to the party but really want to get a handle on this game! All the best Bill
