Nocturnal Media has released the latest expansion for Greg Stafford’s excellent King Arthur Pendragon roleplaying game and the focus is on one of the most important social events of the realm: feasts. The Book of Feasts introduces new game mechanics (and even a mini-game) to flesh out the roleplaying possibilities, and adventure opportunities, of player knights as they attend feasts held by various lords and ladies. Available through DriveThruRPG, the digital edition of the 46 page supplement and 154 cards is available for $12.99 while you can also receive printed cards (and the PDF) for $24.99.
From Nocturnal Media:
A Feast Fit for a King
The smell of roasting meat fills the hall. Gossips whisper. Amours exchange furtive glances. A fight nearly breaks out. But then, with a fanfare of trumpets, the lord and lady enter—the feast is about to begin!
The Book of Feasts and the companion Feast Deck bring a a new format (in the form of a mini-game) that elevates feasts to the same level as tournaments and battles, as befits the biggest social events of the year!
Feasts are important and vital social events in the lives of any knight, on par with tournaments. Like tourneys, the feast is a vehicle for driving interactions, schemes, rivalries, and alliances between Player-knights and Gamemaster characters. With the rules presented in this book and the companion Feast Deck, you can make banquets guaranteed to produce interesting plot twists and lasting memories of social triumphs and failures, no matter the period from Uther to the twilight of Arthur.
