I share my review of the eagerly anticipated Pandragon Gamemaster’s Handbook from Chaosium Inc. The volume includes setting information, game advice, NPCs, a bestiary, two scenarios, and more for the famed Arthurian roleplaying game.

Summary
While I do wish there was a bit more page space devoted to running the RPG, the Pendragon Gamemaster's Handbook is still an excellent volume. There's plenty of content including NPCs, a full bestiary, and even a couple of scenarios. If you're running Pendragon, or looking to run the game, this volume is an absolute must own.
