What kind of knight will you become? Will you fight to rid the world of injustice, or will you use clout and power to take advantage of those beneath you? Dive into the glory and grandeur of King Arthur’s Britain with the Pendragon: Core Rulebook!

This isn't just a game; its innovative mechanics brilliantly drive the emotional impact of play as your characters pursue Glory, overcome life-and-death struggles, cross blades with ruthless enemies, and fight for love and justice in a world of brutal medieval realism.

The Pendragon: Core Rulebook contains absolutely everything you need to begin an epic adventure in King Arthur’s Britain. It covers the complete core rules of the Pendragon game system, including intricate Traits and Passions, essential Skills, detailed combat mechanics, injury and recovery, and how to earn Glory, Favors, and Honor.

This book also serves as a comprehensive Setting Guide to the world of Arthurian fantasy, offering a detailed look at England as it was in the time of King Arthur, the fantastical elements of the legendary setting, as well as the crucial role of knights and nobility.

Perhaps one of Pendragon's most unique and compelling features is The Passage of Time. Pendragon campaigns are truly generational: you will grow old, you may marry, you may have children, and when you eventually die (whether by the sword or the slow decay of time), you seamlessly resume play as your heir! The Pendragon: Core Rulebook contains robust rules for The Winter Phase—the essential downtime period of the game for characters to train, age, and even go on side quests that further their family's saga.

You’ll find a myriad of additional features, including:

• 6 pre-generated character templates for optional, faster character creation.

• Special rules for Afflictions, Obsessions, Directed Traits, Ideals, and ransoms, adding depth to your knight's journey.

• A full medieval equipment list to outfit your champion.

• A fantastic Coat of Arms generator to make wholly unique heraldry for your Player-knight, truly making them your own!

Prepare to write your own legend in a world of chivalry, magic, and destiny!
