About the adventure
What is a Pendragon game? At its core it’s a game about Knights doing Knight Things and trying to live up to chivalric ideals. It’s about the central dichotomy of being a professional murderer and maker of war while also living within codes of conduct and poetic ideals that shape your every decision. It’s about Honor and Glory as well as how these are reflections of your actions as people. None of this requires it take place in Salisbury, England during the apocryphal rise of the Anglo-Saxons to replace the Britons as the culture of England. So I’ve decided to do just that. This game will take place in a setting truly alien and foreign, an American continent dominated by various powers and cities that resemble the setting of 5th century England of Pendragon lore enough that major changes won’t need to be made to the system to accommodate this. For full disclosure, this was inspired by the Crusader Kings 2 and 3 mods titled After The End (https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/After_the_End).

About me
I have been playing tabletop RPGs for over a decade, and running the games I’ve played for nearly as long. I was introduced to gaming working at a ren faire as street cast, and the connection between the two has always been a part of my gaming. What that means is that I try to run games as a collaborative storytelling experience, working with the players to build a character driven narrative using my decade of improv experience. The result of this is a game and a story that is reactive to player actions. And despite my kind of auteur and philosophical approach, my instincts are sort of pure comedy and b-movie. I look to create entertaining setpieces and offer wild characters and story beats. Because in the end, I am just trying to have fun.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen in the session zero to help bed everyone into the setting (and thus allow each player to expand on their corner of the setting while maintaining the collaborative nature). I cannot, nor would I want to, stop players from referring to the Crusader Kings mod that inspired this game.
Elevator Pitch: A Pendragon game of Knights and Chivalry, but in a setting allowing it to happen in North East Ohio instead of England. System: Pendragon 6th Edition Setting: Post-post apocalyptic United States. Time: Wednesday Night ~6 PM Eastern Time Start Time.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a link to the discord. A working microphone.
What karmicknight brings to the table
So, I will provide a discord which will contain the necessary books and sheets to play the game. I will also provide visual aids for both characters and situations as they will occur. While I don't plan on abandoning the rules wholesale, I do enjoy naturally stripping away extraneous systems if they do not support the style of play that is being done.

How karmicknight creates a safe table
Players can expect a game in genre Crusader Kings (a game about dynasty rather than a singular character) as well as attempting to maintain a lighter tone than a lot of the subject matter would imply. The tools available to keep things on the light end of tone will be present in the discord.
