Guild Game Day: Pendragon, Of Knights, Hunts, & Christmas Feasts

PLAYER INFORMATION
Experience required: None.
Age: 14+
Number of seats available: 5
Character Sheets: Character sheets will be provided.

Although in Pendragon all players are knights, the game takes an anachronistic view on knights and gender, so it’s accessible for everyone! We'll aim to make this one-shot a nice overview of the system. I've run and played in hundreds of sessions of earlier editions of Pendragon, and I could potentially be talked into running more one-shots or even short campaigns in the future if there's solid interest.

2 seats in every guild one-shot are reserved for the monthly supporter lottery. You may see players in a game's attendee list before guild-wide RSVPs open.

Please scroll all the way down for any and all information, including age restrictions, what kind of experience is needed (if any), what to bring, content warnings, and more!

PRICING

• It is $10/per player to play this game at Groundswell Startups.
• It is $8/per player if you are a paid monthly supporter of the Guild (via our Ko-Fi or Patreon).

ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Knights, you are invited to Christmas Court in Camelot where there will be feasting, intrigue, flirting, and games followed by a special hunt with your liege lord the young Earl Robert and the boy king Arthur who famously pulled the legendary sword from the stone earlier this year! Glory will surely be yours and nothing could possibly go wrong, right? Right?

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Pendragon is Greg Stafford's award-winning Arthurian roleplaying game. As players you take on the role of knights following the chivalric code. It introduced traits and passions that reward players acting as virtuous knights as they compete for glory. Known for its innovative game design, King Arthur Pendragon integrates seasonal adventures where players are able to experience running not only a knight, but later, their children in long epic campaigns.

"King Arthur has provided me with tremendous satisfaction and entertainment for many years. Now, I seek to share Arthur's work with you. Enter into the magic realm. Let those dreams within you stir, come to life, and be tested." - Greg Stafford
