Pendragon RPG: Starter Set
Product number:
CAO2729-X
Manufacturer:
Chaosium
Pendragon is a roleplaying game set in King Arthur's Britain. You take on the role of knights and overcome mythical monsters, rival knights, and other wondrous challenges in search of Glory.
This Starter Set presents a world of great adventure. This is the time of the Sword in the Stone, of the Boy King and Merlin and their struggles against those who would seize the crown for themselves . . . and of the flowering of chivalry. This is a time of desperate battles, dark portents, enchanted forests, pride, and self-indulgence.
What kind of knight are you? Do you believe in chivalry, or do you think might always makes right? Are you willing to die for your Honor? Will you fight to rid the world of injustice, or use clout and power to take advantage of those beneath you?
Combat in Pendragon is bloody and intense, and every knight must show valor sufficient to face it - and gain great Glory for their prowess!
The Pendragon RPG: Starter Set contains everything you need to begin questing and adventuring. It includes a selection of pre-generated characters and a short campaign offering multiple sessions of gameplay.
Contents:
‣ Book I: The Adventure of the Sword in the Stone - Learn the rules for Pendragon as you play this solo adventure.
‣ Book II: The Fabled Realm - Everything you need to know about the game's setting and core mechanics.
‣ Book III: The Sword Campaign - A beginner-friendly campaign taking the Player-knights through the most important early events of King Arthur's reign - three game years in all.
‣ Appendices: Additional rules and setting details introduced as you play through The Sword Campaign.
‣ Pre-generated Characters: Eight Player-knights, ready for adventure.
‣ Battle Cards: Eighteen cards for generating Battle Encounters and Opportunities.
‣ A set of seven polyhedral dice

Excellent Starter Set
The Pendragon's Starter Set offers a compelling entry point into the world of Arthurian legends. It is designed mostly for newcomers rather than seasoned players. The set includes three books, character sheets, dice, and other helpful materials (battle cards, etc.) to kickstart adventures. The rulebook finds a balance between accessibility for beginners and depth for those familiar with the BRP systems. The rules are explained concisely, and the set includes helpful examples to guide players through character creation, combat, and storytelling. This makes it an excellent choice for those new to the Pendragon system. However, the solo adventure is slightly disappointing; it also teaches the rules well, but there are too few meaningful roleplaying optionsâ€â€at least compared to other Chaosium's solitary adventures. The short campaign is between very good and good, and can surely lead to several fun RPG sessions. One thing I have to stress is that the artwork and overall presentation of the books are stunning. The illustrations capture the essence of the medieval legends, enhancing the readers' immersion. The design (mimicking a medieval tome layout) contributes to an easy-to-follow and aesthetically pleasing experience.

Great Product
Wonderful starter set. The system is similar to CoC but much easier to implement. The art is beautiful and the books are printed on high quality paper. Dice are okay not great but they get the job done. Highly recommend if you want a character based Table top RPG
