[QUOTE="pming, post: 8443321, member: 45197"] Hiya! [B]Warhammer Fantasy[/B] (1st Edition is best, imnsho, but the latest 5th (?) has some interesting bits n' bobs). This checks all your boxes. [B]Pendragon [/B](as mentioned above). But its definitely got it's own "vibe" of Arthurian Classic Fantasy...which doesn't mesh well with the idea of "dungeon crawling".
