Greg Stafford (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 1985

"GAME FEATURES: Roleplaying - innovative game mechanics awaken passionate love, hate, and loyalty in your characters, leading them to acts of mercy, cruelty, lust, piety, valor, and cowardice. * Campaign play - customs, manners, and weapons change during the phases of Arthur's long reign. Over these years your character-knight begets a family whose reputation depends on the glory he achieves. He passes his hard-won inheritance and grudges to his sons. Up to four generations of knights will live and die during Arthur's reign. * Game system - easily-remembered, simple-to-play mechanics feature a single die roll to determine combat, to settle personality encounters, and to resolve skill use. * Character generation - create a squire, knight, noble, or fair damsel, of Roman, Saxon, Cymric, Pictish, or Irish heritage. Select between the Christian, Wotanic, or pagan religions. * Background - includes a 22" by 34" map of Britain complete with kingdoms, cities, castles, keeps, forests, Roman roads, abbeys, rivers, mountains, fortified walls, and battle sites. A bestiary of natural and mythical creatures includes avancs, barguests, dwarfs, elves, giants, kelpies, spriggans, unicorns, yales, and the Questing Beast among many others. You are provided with character statistics for major personalities such as Arthur, Guenever, and Lancelot. Also enclosed are lesser-knowns such as Balin le Sauvage, Breuse sans Pitie, Saint Cadoc, King Mark, Nimue, Percivale and Ulfius. A chronology includes wars, adventures, customs, campaign escalation, and characters of note. An extensive bibliography provides further sources of information, all to support campaign play."
