Oh yeah, it's much more understandable for the players. I dislike the Warlord overview, because it's useless to me (and this tangled word does not survive the Anarchy, so why bother?) In my game, I always suppose Salisbury have a few bannerets of his own (Devizes, Du Plain, etc.), some minor vassals (like the players) and the rest in bachelor knights.

He is kin to Arthur in unspecified ways. His son Constantine will rule after Arthur on that claim. I don't remember his genealogy (or even lands) to be clarified in the GPC. Have any of you a good theory?

As a houserule, my spears cancels the malus for being on foot against cavalry, but the knight still have all his bonus. So a knight with sword 16 on his charger against 1 spearmen (10), will roll at 21 (16+5) against 10.

Lance provides a +5 as well against ennemies without range (another lance or Greatspear). Otherwise, it looks perfect to me. The short answer is: sword is the best weapon!

Angres is the count of Windsor in the tale as well. Very close indeed. It's a bit of a shame count Angres was confused with the sons of Ulfius, because he is much more charismatic.

Yeah, I remember. I totally stole your ideas in my campaign, by the way. I was epic, with Morgan's conspiracy...

The trailer is intriguing, at least. We'll see.

Nice map. Useful to realize that the Silchester's rebellion is not that crazy. Whith a bit of Bliztkrieg, you can take Camelot (and the King!) by surprise.

And she is not either in my campaign, but yeah, not the most forgiving.

love it! That's the spirit, especially with her proud 17. Indeed, there are possibilites but you have to talk with your players.

I love your campaign! Did you play a full session with the winter phase? When did Aurelius became married to Bethany? I thought he was courting lady Gwyona The birth of a mute girl is very intriguing, to say the least. What exactly is going on at woodford? Edit: The Pentecost court is interesting as well. Is Tywyn a new player?

A bit mischievous... I like it! In my campaign, Morgan have a grudge against the knight, so she will probably capture him quickly for some nefarious purpose, maybe becoming some chained fool for her court, something like that.

Agree. If you want a game friendly to the ladies, go for 531. 525 or 520 (45 years to 565, so 2 generations) is good two. It's the classical arthurian feel, and a lady can go with the boys as a healer and many other things. There is a bunch of nice published adventures you can play with a lady, like: The adventure of the Werewolf in the Spectre King The Adventure of the Mysterious Manor in Tales of Chivalry and Romance The Adventure of Cerran Abbas in Tales of Chivalry and Romance Even the Adventure of castle Wakely in Tales of Chivalry and Romance Uther's reign (and Anarchy for obvious reasons) is dark, brutal, with a lot of wars and pillage, and not a nice place to be a lady. Sure, you can craft a good story for a lady with the same setting, but you have to shift the focus from a male perspective to a female one, and this will not be classical Pendragon, but Jane Austen met Uther Pendragon. Otherwise, your Player could have a backup character, a knight (her husband, brother, cousin, wathever) she will play when war rages on (It's a suggestion in Book of the Entourage, and a nice one). To be honest, all the women I play with are happy to play a male knight. I will impose a male knight as a first character to show the setting and the game.

My PKs always try the same trick, but they couldn't this time. By the way, I think it's not faithful to the sources, when it seems to me you always let the madman wandering without interference. Thank you for your answer, Morien. Useful as usual;)

When a player get mad, there is a nice little Table in the GPC about his wanderings. Did anyone use it? It seems very easy to get better. How to manage his winter phase? Did he get (passive) glory? Training? The GPC says a roll/6 months, but I am inclined to roll each year, and it looks to me you gain passive glory, but no training. Am I right?

OK. Still, it's the Aisne river and the Loir river, no matter what. Thanks to you, I discovered the Conie and the Aire rivers, but they are small, affluents (tributaries? what is the english word?) of larger rivers (Loir and Aisne). According to Wikipedia, Conie is 32,4 km long for example. And Sane is still a typo. This modern map is accurate http://www.grattepanche-mairie.fr/textes/cartefrancefleuves2.htm Congrats! It sounds like an awesome job. I will use your map, don't worry

As I already said, I like your maps. I will probably use one for my game. Some quibbles: Castle Pleuré is in Cardigan (Anarchy), not Merionnyd (evil king) Newark is in Lindsey, not Bedegraine There is an Aisne river in France near Soissons, not Aire The Moselle river, Mosel is the german name The Saône River, not Sane river The Meuse river, not Maas river (Maas is the the dutch name) There is no "Conie" river, it's the Loir river (without "e"), and its riverbed is different [Edit the Conie river exists, but it's just a little tributary of the Loir river, itself tributary to the Sarthe river, itself tributary to the Loire river] You forget to draw the Sarthe river beetween Loir and Mayenne (not that important) Maybe you should name only the big french rivers (Loire with an "e", Seine, Garonne, Rhône) and let the rest unnamed. It may be more clear that way.

The period of forty days is precisely what I was thinking, to launch the adventure.

Glad to help! I would love to read about it The witness does not need to be the accuser himself.

It is my houserule as well. My players still make plenty of horsemanship rolls, and do not consider horsemanship a "dumb" skill at all.

He is not that horrible. He is an opportunistic king. A bit cruel and cunning, yes. So what? All the campaign have a heavy bias pro-kymric and pro-Arthur. In that light, he became a bad man, that's all. His dream is to unify Saxons and Bretons, to learn from each other, to make an end to the old feuds and hate, to build a better kingdom, a tolerant one. In that light, he can become an ally, a strong king who can protect Salisbury against other Saxons. To achieve this dream, some blood will be spilled. Of course. It's inevitable. This Cerdic is a good chief, as long as you remain in his good graces.

I like it very much. Cerdic is the son of Vortigern, and have strong claims to be king of Logres or High King. I suppose Cerdic would want a marriage with Ellen to seal the deal (or between his son and young Jenna), and full hommage. You have to consider if Cerdic is sincere or not about his dream to unify Saxons and Kymrics in equal terms. Is he honorable (in a saxon way), or a traitorous bastard like his father?

It's really depends if you want to play the adventure "the best wine in the word" in the Savage Mountains. I am for Essex, Wessex and the like, because they are real places even today, so your players (if they are not english) can learn something from the game. Personnaly, I am accustomed to the old names (Hertford, Somerset) and will not change it, but I suppose more recent players are more confortable with new names.

I agree. A 3d6 roll is enough. Loyalty (group) is especially useful, because any PK will always have a good excuse to roll for inspiration each year (Oh, my friend is in danger, etc.). It's gamebreaking. In my game, except the round Table or very exceptionnal circonstances, I don't allow a rolling for loyalty (group). MY PKs are powerful enough without it.

I like your map. Brittany is accurate by the way. Maybe you could color Leon and Cornouaille in purple like Corwall, to show their allegeance. Otherwiste, there is no need for a specific county of Rennes, or Nantes. the kingdom of Vannetais is enough, and works just fine. With France, I am a bit surprised. Why didn't you make Burgundy a part of the kingdom? Same thing with Languedoc or Provence. You mention Auvergne or County of Toulouse, which is good, so maybe you should mention the duchy of Normandy, the counties of Flanders or Champagne, the big names. Otherwise, it's a wise move not to bother with the merovingian kingdoms (Austrasia, etc.). The frontiers change all the time. Edit: By the way, Anglia and Caercolun are joined into an unique duchy (Anglia). Hartland became Hertford after Uther's reign? Is it canon in the GPC ?
