A small group of young Knights and Dames will strive to prove themselves and win Glory enough to join his Round Table! Of course - the Saxons, Celts, Picts, Giants and Fey which they must confront on their quests, have other ideas...

About me
Long time gamer and GM for almost as long: very early on in my gaming career I got the bug for writing adventures and setting up scenarios to surprise and entertain a group. I dabbled in drama and other creative outlets over the years but the one constant has been running games; I get more of a kick out of the players' enjoyment of a good session (be it dramatic, tense, comedic, frantic or just political) than I do out of any other creative outlet I ever found! I live in Ireland (UTC / GMT) but can be flexible around scheduling. I don't have a strong accent and (although I am inclined to do some "character voices") I focus on a clear storytelling voice rather than any kind of serious voice acting. It is super important to me that the group is inclusive and welcoming to all. Everyone is entitled to an opportunity to enjoy this hobby in a supportive and inclusive environment. Please be aware of your biases and check them at the door. The group may, as part of the story, face challenges and address social norms / biases etc in a respectful way but as GM I reserve the right to draw a red line where I believe this may cause undue discomfort to other players. Real world prejudice will not be accepted in any group hosted by me. In terms of experience with settings and systems: I have spent many years on and off as a DM for D&D (then AD&D, now D&D again) but over time I also drifted more into gothic and storytelling games (World of Darkness), and science fantasy (Shadowrun / Cyberpunk) and more space faring sci-fi (Traveller and Star Wars). Feel free to reach out if you have a group / would like to start a group and are looking for a GM - I'm open to run pretty much anything I have experience with (non-exhaustive list below, I own the rules to most of those systems in hard copy or digital and if I don't own a copy I'll pick them up). Let's have some fun!!

Creating your character
Character creation will be incorporated into session zero and will be collaborative with the GM and players. Pendragon character creation is quite specific and bringing your knight to life is hugely satisfying!
We've had a reset after a near TPK and we have new knights for some of the old players - perfect time for new players to join the party and see what all the excitement is about! For beginners, or for experienced Pendragon players, this will be a character driven adventure in a gritty medieval "historical" setting. The new edition of Pendragon is great fun to play and really allows for some epic knightly quests!

How WinterGuy creates a safe table
This is a campaign with a mix of tension and action. I'm planing for quite an RP heavy style. I will be making sure the pace fits the style of the players with a view to facilitating all experience levels. My style is relaxed and open with a focus on **safe fun** at the table allowing everyone to enjoy the adventure. My game table is a safe place for everyone and I will take any measures necessary to assure that. I like deep stories and challenging subject matter and Pendragon can be an exciting setting for that. I always ensure that we are aligned on boundaries up front (lines and veils defined in advance, session zero discussions to gauge the players' comfort zones etc) and I fully support breaks and "stops" at any time to assure players' safety and enjoyment. For me, character and roleplay should come before system. The rules should be used as a scaffold for the story and should give a framework to support the fun - they should not become the focal point of the adventure. I am a strong believer that we are all at the table to tell a story together and the role of the GM is to guide and facilitate the story of the characters with an underlying plot. Everyone should have their chance to shine and to collaborate in getting us all laughing or crying but at the same time everyone should be comfortable in taking a back seat occasionally to enjoy someone else's arc.
