Mostly because there's more room for my own NPC's and adventurers than there is the later periods. It's probably accurate to say I love Pendragon despite the Arthurian mythos rather than because of it.Dangerous Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494853825931603065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-20284842589168608292011-11-02T10:30:24.547-04:002011-11-02T10:30:24.547-04:00This is exactly what our table is about.

I'm glad to see someone else look into a "sandbox" of NPCs.<br /><br />We're playing Pendragon, which really does quite enhance the medieval politics of it all (and is a very good game system for someone who wants to focus on playing a knight.) The fact that the overarching plot of King Arthur is so well known by everyone at the table leaves us plenty of room to explore the second-tier nobles and lesser peers of the kingdom.<br /><br />Dangerous Brian, I'm sorry to hear you think the Arthurian timeline is a straightjacket. For us, its more liberating than anything else.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508594597349248576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-70686694345342461562011-11-02T09:45:08.916-04:002011-11-02T09:45:08.916-04:00Very intriguing.

In a lot of ways it reminds me of Pendragon -only without the straightjacket of the Arthurian timeline and mythos- and a greater emphasis on the people your player's character is actually likely to meet and interact with. <br /><br />Looks like you've isolated and successfully combined the two best elements of sandbox and plot-driven play.Dangerous Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494853825931603065noreply@blogger.com
