Camlann Chronicles is a Welsh and Brythonic themed campaign for both 5th edition and the Lore 100 System, by Sons of the Singularity.

King Aedan is a broad-shouldered man in his early twenties. His loosely fitting tunic depicts a white bear on a field of royal blue; a sword hangs at his side. For nearly a year now, King Aedan has worn an unkempt beard and a distant look of sadness that came upon him after the death of his father, King Uther. You vividly remember the announcement of King Uther’s death as it echoed off the walls and corridors of Castle Camlann, “The King is dead; long live the King!”

The Camlann Chronicles weaves together Arthurian legends and fantasy RPG tropes. Fledgling kingdoms, including the likes of Gwynedd, Rheged and Dyfed, fight amongst themselves for control of the mythic British Isle. The nobility of these fledgling kingdoms share the common dream of a united realm; though they are unwilling to bend their own knee.

The Camlann Chronicles includes:

• 4 full scenarios; 12+ game sessions
• At least 10 pre-generated player characters
• Settings section for a fantastical rendering of Welsh and Brythonic Britain.
• Description of important NPCs
• Designed for 5e gameplay, with optional rules for incorporating character background
• VAR_not_on_DnD Includes the Lore 100 RPG system

I'm not the writer for this project but I know a lot about it. I also created the Lore 100 system. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I'm not gonna lie: as much as I love my Arthurian goodness, I'm backing it simply because of the image of the Surfing Knight on the Carp.

1) Surfing Knight on the Carp is great.

2) Honestly, this seems more interesting for the fact it isn't another 5e D&D 3PP setting that is Viking-inspired.

You don't really see Welsh Arthur much.

Everything in popular fiction seems to mostly be based on the Mallory version or whatever the one with Lancelot & Galahad are.

Yeah, I think that's because the French stuff is more romantic. We felt that the mystical elements are a better fit for D&D. Also, the later stuff is more rooted in a false history, while Welsh is rooted in mythology.

This weekend I'm going to release a beta-package that contains the first chapter (actually the first 2 chapters, but chapter 1 is more like a session 0 scenario. Hope you can have a look and tell me what you think then.

Does that mean stuff like equipment & currency, and lifestyle expenses regarding currency, may be different from the default D&D 5e assumptions in the SRD?
