Kickstarter [Chaosium] Our Pendragon Classic Kickstarter is Live - Join the Quest!

[Michael O'Brien]

Mark Morrison writes: I think that the first edition of Pendragon from 1985 remains the most beautiful box set in the history of the roleplaying game art form. It’s all thanks to the gorgeous cover by Jody Lee, the innovative but clean layout by Yurek Chodak, the simply wonderful full colour map by Charlie Krank, and above all, the romantic interior art by Lisa Free.

But in addition to that, Greg Stafford’s brilliant and passionate system design with dynastic play means that there are 75 years of adventure in the box, from the death of Uther to the fall of Arthur. I can’t think of a single other box set that offers that much playability with just the contents at hand.

I’m frankly thrilled that this peerless edition is coming back into print so that everyone can see the purity of its intent, without paying Ebay prices or settling for a PDF scan. I still use this map of King Arthur’s Britain to this day, and players always warm to the quest immediately.

Today’s the last day to mount up if you’d like to experience this for yourself. It’s a joy.

It was exciting to watch the final 24 hours of the Pendragon Classic Kickstarter and see the total funding break $140,000 in the last few minutes. And reach exactly 1400 backers. As we said, we're gonna need a bigger Round Table.

With projects such as these, the Chaosium Nostalgia Department always gets heart-warmingly surprised every time by how much excitement, delight, and enthusiasm each distinct Classic project brings. The 20 days of the campaign have gone by in a blink.

As we approach our winter phase for this year, our latest Kickstarter update discusses the next steps of this project. If you missed the Kickstarter campaign you can still Late Pledge: it's not too late to join our knightly quest!
