Welcome to Pendragon

Pendragon is a set of tabletop roleplaying rules set in a fantastical medieval world revolving around the marvelous reign of King Arthur, literature’s most famous king.

This game introduces many revolutionary facets not previously known in any other roleplaying game, such as Personality Traits and Passions, a single objective of Glory as a measure of success in all relevant things, and a very real sense of time passing in the campaign world, with consequences of actions sometimes reverberating for generations.

All this is done through a single resolution system that is simple to learn and which applies to all aspects of play. There is no need to memorize all the rules before entering the game to experience a life in the world’s favorite legendary realm, as long as a reasonable and informed Gamemaster is on hand to lead and guide the quests, adventures, and courtly affairs of this wondrous world.

This section presents the game system through which players explore the world.
