We're terribly excited to see how this one turns out. More Pendragon is a good thing and we love a nice card game over here.

Role-playing games are scavenger media, in which available materials -- whatever's at hand: stuff you've read, stuff you've experienced, stuff you're anxious about, stuff you wish would happen -- are then transformed into an emergent narrative via active engagement by one or more players.

The Pendragon Gamemaster's Handbook dropped today (PDF only, book coming soon) and it included a set of cards in PDF for the feast mechanic. I already have ours printed up and ready for the big feast in the Grey Knight. Report coming Sunday on how it goes! @chaosium.bsky.social

Here's the full wrap-around of the cover of the Pendragon GM's Handbook, one of a set I did for the new edition of what is in my opinion one of the greatest RPGs ever written. It shows Lancelot receiving his shield from Viviane, Lady of the Lake (underneath the surface of the lake, no less!).

I created and printed these cards somewhere around 2010 and never got to use them. Just recently rediscovered and sleeved, I'm feeling like it's time to break out Three Sixteen: Carnage Amongst the Stars again. Who's in the Phoenix area and up for some anti-war space marine roleplaying?

"What are you trying to do?" is *so* important.
Also: I see pointless, zero-stakes rolls in APs all the time. Roll with intention and an obvious *downside*. Makes every game better.

Seth Skorkowsky @sskorkowsky.bsky.social · Mar 7

100%
I'll add that declaring your character's intended result of that action is equally important. If the GM knows what the player is hoping to accomplish, it's far more probable to happen and also not cause confusion of intent.

Justin Alexander @alexandrian.bsky.social · Mar 7

D&D Tip: Declare your character's actions, not the mechanics.

Today's table for #Pendragon 6E. Our newest prop, a 60-inch tall print of the *amazing* map of mythical Britain by the talented

. We saw the Questing Beast, an angry King Pellinore, a relieved Nineve, and the tail end of the wedding of Arthur and Guenevere.
