I’m excited to share my review of the new core rulebook for the sixth edition of the Pendragon roleplaying game. The book provides everything players and game masters need to create player knights destined for adventure and glory during the time of Camelot. The late great Greg Stafford, Jeff Richard, and the team at Chaosium Inc set out to build the ultimate edition of the Pendragon RPG. Did they succeed? You’ll find out!

SUMMARY

This new edition of the classic Pendragon roleplaying game is absolutely terrific and is no doubt going to be the crowning achievement in the series. Strangely, this book is really a player's guide - more content is coming in 2025 for a GM's book - but this is being advertised as a core book. If it is, then it's rather incomplete for a core book. Still, it's a must have for those interested in Arthurian adventuring.
