So Pendragon 6th edition has made it into the top most anticipated new games of the year for the third time in a row. And apparently, this year it's actually coming out.
Pendragon has always been one of the games I knew existed and sounded pretty interesting and fun, but which never turned into actual plans to get some kind of campaign going, and I really don't know anything about the rules. With a new edition coming out, this seems as good a time as there will ever be.
Of course the new edition isn't out yet and so I can't just pick up the book and start reading. So what can you tell me about the game's general characteristics and are there any things that are worth looking up now? (Is 6th edition a new game, or just a new printing of existing rules?)
From what I always understood, the game is about the PCs being Knights of the Round Table, managing their own castles and coming together to go on quests to protect the realm. I'm personally a bit overdone with English fantasy, but the idea of reskinning the whole thing by moving the action from England to the Kingdom of the Burgundians during their struggles with the Saxons, Huns, and Romans. Which I think should be easy enough.
