I sit down to share my thoughts about The Grey Knight adventure campaign for the new 6th edition of the Pendragon roleplaying game. Originally published in 1986, this was the first adventure published for the RPG of Arthurian legend. This volume also includes two short adventures meant to bridge from the starter set campaign to this classic tale. Should you be excited to have your players embark on a glorious quest or has age not been kind to this nearly 40 year old adventure? You’ll find out!

TGG SCORE

Summary

If you're not a fan of the Pendragon Traits and Passions, The Grey Knight will certainly not change your mind as there are some encounters where success hinges on a single die roll. I will also point out the volume seems a bit rushed with typos and references to both the Core Rulebook AND the Player's Handbook. Regardless, this is still a great campaign and really captures the feel of an Arthurian legend.
