Rick Meints 3,084 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) If the lower right corner of the map was not covered up we could tell if it was first or second printing. Edited November 25, 2019 by Rick Meints Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne's Books 29 Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Quote If the lower right corner of the map was not covered up we could tell if it was first or second edition. Photo attached is what you speak of I'm guessing. Bottom map with the white artifact on France is from the set posted above. Top map is from another set I have. Ireland (Eire) has that artifact as well. Quote Printing? That would be my thought. To my understanding, there was no Pendragon 2nd ed. Edition = Fundamental changes; Printing = minor or no changes. So were there any other differences between the Pendragon 1st printings? Other than the map? -Wayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Merlin a genic hybrid with some alien race? Was Stonehenge really a spaceport for extraterrestrials? And did an airport exist in Gaul?"

Back them probably not much security. It actually amazing how lax modern airport security was pre-911. If you watch a movie from the 50s or 60s you can see that just about anybody can get on an airplane with just about anything. Probably why they could keep making all those Airport movies in 70s.

The tape marks on the map in France an Ireland. First print maps had tape left on one of the separations, and that's what you see on the map. When asked what they were, Sandy and Greg said they were the sights of the ancient Airstrips. SDLeary 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne's Books 29 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Profiled a nice 1st edition Pendragon set over at my game blog. First time I've really dug into the set. It's impressive as most of y'all no doubt already know. -Wayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atgxtg 1,551 Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Yeah, it's pretty solid. The mechanics haven't changed much in nearly 40 years. It mostly just been expanded upon and given minor tweaks over the years. I've got a couple of boxed sets. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tizun Thane 79 Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 I like this first edition map. For example, the Four Stones castle was settled in Gorre. Now, it is somewhere in "Somerset". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: if you want Malory's foreshortened abduction story you can place Meliagant's castle in Surrey, where Malory did. But I think Chretien's is far more magnificent.

I suppose it's the Melwas connexion, king of the "Summer Country" , but still, I disagree. 2 hours ago, jeffjerwin said: But I think Chretien's is far more magnificent. Oh yeah! His kingdom of Gorre is somewhat otherwordly and I like it! The Sword Bridge for exemple 🥰 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
