[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 958865, member: 1016"] I have nothing bad to say about Pendragon, in fact I just wondered why I haven't run a game of it for a long time ... oh that's right -- everyone wants to stick to d20 :rolleyes: If you can find the players who appreciate the radical ideas that they are playing a dynasty of knights through the ages, not just one character, you can be only a knight (unless you get some of the 2nd suppliments) and that magic is for the GM only, you can have a great time. In fact ... For several years, Pendragon was "the campiagn that would not die." The game has a "adventure chart" that lets people who missed sessions roll up the results of minor adventures to ensure they get some "XP" and not fall to far behind the rest. With that in mind, I had several players who would drop buy, roll up any years (you only adventure in the summer months) they missed and then play a session. Sometimes they would all be together, other times the players would show up in twos and threes. I think that in keeping track of the years and passing on the "rumors" of what the rest of players did made people feel like the world was alive. Yet, all I was doing was following the adventures and timeline in "Boy King" and keep a log of what everyone was doing. It was the easiest and most fun campiagn I ever ran. [/QUOTE]
