Hi all, not sure if this is the right place to post but I put together a loving tribute to Pendragon and The Great Pendragon Campaign over here:

Just thought you might like!

Anyone else have any stories that developed due to the wonders of the Personality Trait system? It's one of my favourite RPG mechanics.

Absolutely marvelous review of the game, and also catches that gladness one feels when experiencing the different mechanics that actually is helping roleplaying instead of hindering it! (I'm coming from Deathwatch RPG = death to roleplaying, and now going to Pendragon = encouraging roleplaying). Thanks for posting it!

Thank you very much, Pendragon is a game that never gets enough praise for my liking. It's odd that it wasn't a bigger influence on other RPGs (especially the Personality Trait system). At some point I think I'll run the campaign again for a new group of players - I think everyone should experience Pendragon.

I have also posted a pic of one of my player's battle scarred character sheets as a bit of flavour. http://www.explodingrobot.co.uk/post/22971723471/a-pendragon-character-sheet-out-in-the-wild

Wait a minute, can I be reading it wrong or is that 28010 Glory points?!! How long have that PK been in play?

Haha, that's right - he was also 71 years old when he died. You can see his physical stats were in sharp decline (Strength of 5!). I believe that was a second generation character who lived to see the end of the Great Pendragon Campaign.

I am almost speechless... 71 years? That's like someone these days being 130 before joining the other side.

Campaign I'm currently playing in has a 75-year-old NPC. Lady Indeg from the "available ladies" list ended up married to one of the PKs.

Her ability to roll '6' on Aging Rolls has earned her the nickname "Indeg the Undying".

Well, atleast these personas gets to be the fountains of knowledge for the rest of family! Good way of retelling old legends.

Plus of course every campaign has King Mark - by the final phase of the GPC he must be getting up close to Lord Walder Frey's age.
