Pendragon's strength as a game, comes from a variety of sources, including Greg's work (he's one of the all time great game designers),the epic scope, familar setting, and its low-magic level . However, that low level of magic, which in my opinion makes the game better, by removing the 'deus ex machina' that magic often overtakes many games, can make adapting published adventures from other sources difficult for a Pendragon GM.
While I realize that the GPC is a great campaign, and also leaves plenty of room for expansions, I often find what seem like very good adventure modules for other games that I'd like to run in Pendragon.
So my questions are this 1) What suggestions do you have for adapting non Pendragon adventures to Pendragon? 2) Are there any adventures or settings that are especially adaptable to use with Pendragon?
Two suggestions I've already received are Hârn which seems like a good sources since it's low magic, and Runequest which also seems like it would be good simply because it's written by Greg, but I'm largely unfamiliar with both of those settings. Does anyone know much about either?
