re: #270 William Barnett-Lewis

Gotta be Pendragon. I think I’ve asked before but 5th edition & the Great Campaign? I’m personally more into Glorantha for discussions on mythology and reality intersecting, but Stafford’s written a heck of a lot of interesting materials.

DING!

Yep. I’m playing in a 2+ year-old campaign that started in 3rd/4th edition, but it’s running GPC. I am also trying to jump start a 5th Ed campaign at a local game store.

Pendragon became my chosen game system back in the mid-90s when I reached a decision that D&D was little more than a combat engine, did not handle small groups well, and wanted a system with an interesting background that also did social/non-combat interactions. At that time the role-playing my one group of friends did rotated between systems - so I did the Arthurian gig, one friend’s wife ran horror games (I think the system was called “Chill”), and another friend did Champions (superheroes).
