Exactly correct, and exactly why Malory was my choice
He took disparate sources and blended them together.
Any opinions on the quality of the work as literature aside, I also felt Malory was THE best choice for a game. His arthurian universe is VAST, and not overly focused on the main characters.
That was where my choice for Malory as primary source came from. I think an Arthurian roleplaying game based on (for example) Tennyson's Idylls of the King would suffer from "Dragonlance Syndrome", being far too concentrated attention wise on the main characters.
Malory will branch off and tell stories about relatively minor characters.
So that was my thought process
