Bring Arthur's Britain to Life!

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.

What's Inside

The Pendragon: Gamemaster's Handbook contains everything required for a fledgling or veteran GM to open the window to the fantastical world of King Arthur!

The Fabled Realm

Pendragon: The Gamemaster’s Handbook greatly expands the setting of the game. From highlights of important characters and time periods, to courtly intrigue and a myriad of strange and wondrous beasts, spirits, fairies and fiends which lurk in the dark places of Arthur’s Britain. The book also includes in-depth discussions of religion and magic, and how to use them in your game.

Arthurian Acts

In addition to guidelines for fine-tuning the game to your preferred style of play, this book contains an entire section dedicated to ‘Arthurian Acts’. These expanded rules cover events such as tournaments, seduction, and an entire system for running Feasts, where gossip, courtesy, and Honor hold sway. Inside, you’ll also find rules for running battles, from the smallest skirmish to the most legendary clash of arms!

New Scenarios

This book contains two all-new scenarios for Pendragon, designed as either a starting point for a group of fresh Player-knights, or for use in an ongoing campaign.

The Adventure of the Crucible
