This time out, I share my thoughts about the highly anticipated Pendragon Starter Set from Chaosium Inc. Is this the absolute go to RPG for roleplaying Knights of the Round Table? Or would you be better off banishing this boxed set to the Mists of Avalon? You’ll find out.
SUMMARY
Regardless of the minor critiques I have with this release, Chaosium Inc once again knocks it out of the park with one of their starter sets. In my opinion, Pendragon has always been
the go to RPG for anyone who really wants to experience the Arthurian legend and this introduction to the 6th edition of the venerable game drive that point home. I also love the fact
that there's more than just a single or two session adventure in the mix but a short campaign full of gaming goodness.
