YwainDigsLions 9 Report post Posted September 6, 2019 As Hzark suggested, I ran a one-shot of Pendragon for my gaming group when our regular GM couldn't show to run Pathfinder. It was the introductory scenario from KAP 5.2 where the squires go on a bear hunt, fight some bandits, and then get knighted. A couple of days later, I got an email asking if I could run a bi-weekly campaign on a different day. Here comes the Great Pendragon Campaign! (I guess that also means more questions will pop up on this forum.) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And by all means, that is what the forum is all about! Do you have the GPC extension (from BoUther or standalone) starting at 480, or are you starting at Year 485 (GPC)? In the former case, you might download the Marriage of Count Roderick, which is available for free from Chaosium site. It helps to bulk up the early 480s, as well as establish the Salisbury-Levcomagus feud. Well, you might download it anyway, to get the context for that feud, as well as a framework for running 'embassies' of your own.

1000buffalo 46 Report post Posted September 6, 2019 Very handy stuff! I started a small GPC this past weekend - a single in-person player, and chose to start in 480. Well, 479 and had the PK and his NPCish companion PK knighted in 479. I adjusted the prior family histories to have them start at 21 at knighting, with fathers' dead. Good luck to the OP - I'm right there with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the GPC in the back of my mind, I had the PKs make their family histories with the Book of Sires and adjusted birth dates for themselves/father/grandfather. But I didn't realize Roderick wasn't married in 479, so they met Ellen and their child in Sarum, but I can easily retcon that (I also need to retcon their chargers and a couple other minor things anyway).
