About the adventure
Pendragon 6th Edition is a roleplaying game of Arthurian legend, where you play knights striving for honour, glory, and virtue in a mythic version of early medieval Britain. This free introductory one-shot is designed to welcome new players and guide them through the system while telling a focused, character-driven story rooted in chivalry, loyalty, and personal ideals. The game is set during the age of Uther Pendragon, a land of feasts and oaths, rival lords and looming threats, where reputation matters as much as steel. Play will emphasize narrative choices, roleplay, and the unique mechanics of Pendragon—such as Traits, Passions, and Glory—that shape your knight’s personality and fate. You don’t need to know the rules in advance; they’ll be explained as we play. This scenario will be a skirmish between the Knights of Salisbury and Silchester, showing players a glimpse of the brutality of knightly warfare.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord and Roll20 are required to take part in this game. Add "LokisLair" on Discord in order to join the Discord Server used for playing the game.
What LokisLair brings to the table
I will share with you a glimpse of the world of dark-ages mythic Britain. I do voices, utilize ambient music, and provide a mixture of theatre of the mind and tactical combat. I stick to the Rules as Written for Pendragon for most things.
Homebrew rules
- A major wound does not automatically knock you unconscious. Instead, you must roll a d20 check vs your remaining hit points in order to remain in the fight, which is similar to how Pendragon 5e did it. This is because whilst some major wounds could render a Knight unconscious, adrenalin is a wonderful thing.
