TrippyHippy Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Please, please, please give all due respect to Greg Stafford’s Pendragon and The Great Pendragon Campaign with whatever direction you choose to take this game. It is, in my view at least, the very best fantasy roleplaying game ever penned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, of course. ;-) It's also an understatement to say that I'm eagerly awaiting for this(these) announcement(s). I'm positively bouncing off the walls! Regarding "due respect", I don't doubt that the current Chaosium's management are the best people to give KAP the honor it deserves, and to keep true to Greg's vision for the game. After all, Greg himself chose to bring KAP back to Chaosium under this management, and he also personally chose @sirlarkins as his successor as line manager. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.I.P. It's been said that human intelligence is a constant. Human imagination, on the other hand, took a dip with the passing of Greg.

Hzark10 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thanks for the clarification! Greg was more than just KAP. White Bear and Red Moon, Runequest, Wyrm's Footnotes, and the beginning of Chaosium all had his hands on them as well. Looking forward to the announcements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewire Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Chaosium is finally planning to release the long lost 2nd edition of Pendragon. 😂😂 But in all seriousness, I can’t wait to find out what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOB Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 This week Chaosium is marking the second anniversary of the passing of company founder Greg Stafford. On Sunday we will launch 'The Adventure of the Great Hunt', a special Quickstart preview of Pendragon 6th Edition Rules, his magnum opus. Greg started work on the new edition ten years ago. Since that time, it has gone through multiple development phases and is at last nearly ready for its public debut. He called this, and always intended it to be, his “ultimate edition” and we are proud to see it finally coming to fruition. #weareallus "Let us win glory for our king, who will reward us with honors and lands; and the devil take the hindermost!" 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardo1976 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Super excited for this, though I must say I'm not in love with that new logo. Feels a little cartoony for Pendragon, though it could just be me I eagerly await the release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativehum Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 @sirlarkinsCan you offer any clues as to what is changed from previous editions to the 6th? 1 Quote "But Pendragon isn’t intended to be historical, just fun.

beardo1976 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Ah I was thinking this was a Starter Kit type product like the new Call of Cthulhu one. Thanks @Richard S.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSeraph Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I would think there will be a $10 print option like the Runequest quickstart rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmoongoddess Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Awesome! So, who wrote this new adventure? Is this another unpublished Greg outing, or is it Larkin's project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) And here it is... Pendragon veterans will find that the fundamentals of the game remain the same, with subtle modifications reflecting the culmination of nearly three decades’ refinement of Greg’s vision of Arthurian fantasy. For newcomers to Pendragon, everything you need to experience the Pendragon system is here in The Adventure of the Great Hunt: the core rules, a scenario playable in a single session, and six pre-generated characters.

Luca Cherstich Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Need time to properly consider this but the Pre-made PCs now have "arming swords", and we got "aketon" counted separated from "Coat of Plates" and "Great Helm"....that's interesting!!! The new Passion Results seem also to make sense. Thanks! I'm less enthustiastic on the she-knight on page 19 ... By the way, I'm eager to learn and read it properly when the book will be published!!
