Pendragon Gamemaster's Handbook

Greg Stafford's masterpiece

In Pendragon, the Gamemaster is the leader of the game, the source of knowledge, the organizer of society, armies, and the land itself. Without the Gamemaster there would be no game; in roleplaying there is not a more noble act than to take on this great responsibility.

• Guidelines for fine-tuning the game to your preferred style of play.
• Rules for running battles: from the smallest skirmish to the most legendary clash of arms.
• A variety of “Arthurian acts” such as feasting, tournaments, and courtly intrigue.
• Greatly expanded information on the world of Pendragon and its important characters.
• A myriad of strange and wondrous beasts, spirits, fairies and fiends which lurk in the dark places of Arthur’s Britain.
• In-depth discussions of religion and magic, and how to use them in your game.
• Two scenarios useful for either starting or sustaining a campaign.

The Pendragon Gamemaster’s Handbook is full of setting information about the world of King Arthur, Gamemaster procedures, and ideas to help the campaign flow smoothly.

Great news!

Are there plans to release a slipcase set including this and the Core Rulebook?

[Josh Neff]

That cover is so very pretty! I hope the "early 2025" is EARLY early!

This is great to hear! I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of 6th edition has in store for us. The books that have been teased within the core rulebook have me feeling very optimistic about the future of the game.

I would be interested in this, as well.

I actually had the opposite reaction. I just really, really hope this one got a more thorough editing process and doesn't have a ton of errata like the Players book

This is very exciting news and I hope it is as early as you say, I am just about to dip my toes into Pendragon and 6th edition is exciting.

Another question as was scrolling through the forum and so you think this will be delayed slightly in the UK due to pesky customs issues or will it be available to all in early 2025?

Wait until we announce the actual launch date, as we only do that when it's in our warehouses (UK included).

Will there be a leatherette version?

[Balin]

so excited for this! I'm assuming by "Rules for running battles" this will be the replacement for Appendix B of the Starter Set? 

[Luca Cherstich]

Will siege rules be present here or in the Noble's Book?

Battle has historically included siege in Pendragon
