Bring Arthur's Britain to Life!

The Grail

In Pendragon, the Gamemaster is the leader of the game, the source of knowledge, the organizer of society, armies, and the land itself. Without the Gamemaster there would be no game; in roleplaying there is not a more noble act than to take on this great responsibility.

What's Inside

The Pendragon: Gamemaster's Handbook contains everything required for a fledgling or veteran GM to open the window to the fantastical world of King Arthur!

The Fabled Realm

Pendragon: The Gamemaster’s Handbook greatly expands the setting of the game. From highlights of important characters and time periods, to courtly intrigue and a myriad of strange and wondrous beasts, spirits, fairies and fiends which lurk in the dark places of Arthur’s Britain. The book also includes in-depth discussions of religion and magic, and how to use them in your game.
