Here are some excerpts from recent reviews:"The Tree Hazardous presents three nicely written and engaging little quests that will test both the knights and their players... quick and easy to prepare and slot into a campaign.""There is a classic fairy tale feel to The Adventure of the Loathsome Wyrm and the Machrel of the Sea… a nicely engaging adaptation of a folk song into a tale of greed and ambition.""Squires Rampant provides personality aplenty as well comedic opportunities for annoying, dangerous, or even odd situations, as well as good roleplaying."We hope you’ve been enjoying the initial releases.

It is based on Western world knowledge from Herodotus (c.450BC) through to the time of Thomas Malory (c.1475). It was firstly based upon a map by the Venetian Fra Mauro (c.1450). Mauro’s great map was the last of the many T and O mappa mundi before the discovery of the New World.The map includes mythical features Mauro had removed. The Hereford world map (c.1300) was a chief guide, as well as the fanciful Travels of Sir John Mandeville (c.1356). In the mediaeval tradition, Jerusalem is in the centre. Normally a mediaeval map would place Eden at the top. The map has a modern orientation, with north at the top, to aid comprehension for players and gamemasters. Where possible the map includes real nations and tribes of the 6th century known in Europe; later discoveries (like those of the vikings) of which Thomas Malory might have heard are also included.<h4>Want to take part in The Companions of Arthur yourself?</h4>The Companions of Arthur community content license enables fans of Greg Stafford's TTRPG masterpiece <a href="https://www.chaosium.com/pendragon-rpg/" target="_blank">Pendragon</a> to create, share and sell their own material for the game on DriveThruRPG.If you'd like to follow in Greg's footsteps and create for The Companions of Arthur yourself, check out the <a href="https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/cc/48/Companions-of_arthur" target="_blank">Landing Page</a> for guidelines and your first steps into the program.</blockquote>
