Open Pendragon - Drop-in Style Pendragon RPG
King Arthur Pendragon RPG | Campaign
About the adventure
A free Open Pendragon game designed to run 2-4 sessions a month! The game started in the Age of Uther, and is moving swiftly into Anarchy after King Uther's Death. Players play Bachelor & mercenary knights, but have the ability to move up the social ladder. Games are recorded or streamed live. The setting for this universe is shared with streamed games on my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxmAm1M1UQ_hHWvcARHlb6g It is semi-historical in feel, which means that some of the modern progressive stances are rare exceptions, versus widely accepted. As Open Pendragon is mostly about what happens in a particular adventure, these topics rarely come up, but are handled delicately and with kindness.

Bob is reliable and professional. He's a master of worldbuilding, and has a good understanding of character arcs and how to create and support them. A joy to play with!
Robert
Played 50 sessions
I enjoy the friendly ascetic he brings to game and how he frames every scene like your in a movie. He tends to lean more into the Roleplaying side of Roleplaying games but isn't afraid to let less socially skilled players try their best and then use their character's stats to help guide how the interaction goes. this tends to have the added benefit of making the player better which in turn makes the game better.

How will character creation work
Characters are created before game in a Session 0, or at the beginning of the session. Ultimately players choose a starting template if they have never played Pendragon, or they use the 5.2 creation if they are familiar. They will choose a Culture and Religion as depicted by the 5.2 game, though some exceptions are made for some of the other cultures and religions around. Roll20 allows for creating your own sheet, so once you have access to the Roll20 you can create your own under the Waiting for Approval folder, and then we will review that before you play your first session!
