There may be (and probably is) others that I have not encountered. But Pendragon has a particular focus that I do not find in any of the other systems I am familiar with. Pendragon is purpose built for the players to embody the role of a chivalrous (or pious, or romantic) knight. The mechanics really help focus the game on the role portrayal aspect of the game, with PCs being encouraged and rewarded for portraying the role of an Arthurian knight. In some ways players are even punished for not doing so. That's all I really meant. Other games feature role portrayal as well, but because the roles can vary widely, the role portrayal aspect is rarely as robustly reinforced as it is in Pendragon. Basically, if you are playing Pendragon and you are not trying to be the best Arthurian knight you can be, you really are "doing it wrong" and the mechanics back that up.If you haven't tried Pendragon you really should! It is, IMHO, easily one of the best (probably the best) TTRPG ever made. If you want to see it in action I recommend the YT channel "tickingtimebob" who has dozens (hundreds?) of sessions of recorded Actual Plays that you can watch, and he and his players do a bloody fantastic job!</blockquote>
