#rpgaday: Day Six


King Arthur Pendragon.  Greg Stafford’s other masterpiece.  



I own virtually everything published for it.  I’ve pored over the rules and immersed myself in Arthuriana.  But I’ve never played a lick of it.  Some of that is down to finding players who want to commit to a game with a built-in generational aspect.  Some of it is down to players who think they’ll be overwhelmed by the need for specialized knowledge.  A lot of it is down to me fearing that I can’t do the subject matter justice.  Maybe it’ll be my retirement game someday.

  1. I get that same concern about doing a game justice, to the point that I don't run games. The last time I ran a campaign, it wasn't living up to what I had pictured in my head, so I let it fade away. And often when I read a new premise or book, my reaction is, "I could never do that well." Which is not a productive attitude at all.

  2. Nifty idea: Having a "retirement game."

  3. At my age, a retirement game is less of an abstract notion.

  4. This is on my list also. Sounds like you and I are in the same boat with Pendragon.
