The GPC allows for considerable latitude for GMs in how the campaign unfolds, and although some events must happen (no PC will ever pull the sword from the stone), many things are open ended. Spoiler Alert: In my own campaign all the player knights visited survived St Alban's feast among other things. Several were wounded, our resident doctor (a Saracen) volunteered to help with the wounded, and those that were well opted to help as well instead of feasting (checks for generous).

I'm curious. How has your campaigns have varied from the "standard" progression in the GPC?

In the GPC I was playing in, everyone died at the St. Alban's Feast. We made it to 497, but we ddin't actually start playing the year through.

The problem we had was every year took about 4 sessions to complete. That's a problem when we're trying to get to see Arthur, but it did allow most of us to reach 8K Glory. Personally my Knight amassed just over 13,000 Glory; much more than the next highest of 10K.

As far as how we deviated from the "standard progression," we really didn't do much different. However, we did end up adding quite a few events all of our own devising.

My favorite event hadn't come to full fruition yet (and wouldn't until after Camelot had been built). One of our number made a deal with an unseelie fey. In exchange for revenge against an unscrupulous bishop (the redcap would murder him in an extremely flamboyant, and theatrical way), the knight in question would do a simple favor for the redcap in return. He was led east through a forest and to a hill. Once on the hill, the knight would invite the redcap to join him. Unbeknownst to the knight, he had just invited a monster into Camelot.

Now that would have been spectacular once it played out. Oh, and by the time everything was said and done with the bishop, the knight in question had gone from about a 16 Honor, to an 8. He was well on his way to exile, it's just that no one knew about these things he was doing.

Mine hews fairly closely to the GPC storyline - with the exception of having the same problem as Sir Marcus of needing to take multiple sessions per game year (that's mostly down to issues with my pacing and doing stuff via skype of late rather than face to face) and the PKs being located in Lindsey rather than Sarum.

I've rebadged some of the GPC elements (so the Rydychan usurpers got moved to Huntingdon IMG) and tweaked some of the background motivations that drive elements of the overarching plot; but outwardly the events and sequencing have remained pretty much the same.

Examples of 'hidden history' from my game:
- Igraine cooperated with Merlin to hide her son (who was Gorlois' heir as far as she knew) and ginned up the prosecution of the PKs as political theatre in order to throw off Uther's suspicions of her part in the plot
- Duke Ulfius held Igraine and Morgan in protective custody after St Albans and was trying to use them to bolster his attempt to achieve Kingmaker status in Logres. The PKs were involved in a 'kidnapping' of Morgan in order to prevent Ulfius' plan for a marriage alliance with Malahaut that would have threatened their own Duke's position as Warden of the North; the saxon raiders that Morgan mysteriously tears to pieces (GPC p83) were sent by Ulfius to kidnap her back.
- Nineve is running on an alternative (and competing) prophetic track to Merlin during the interregnum, providing mystical powerups to those who align with her vision on how to proceed; Gorbuduc the Fiend is one of her projects for instance and she has a lot of proteges within the Icenic and Trinovantes exiles who will end up as robber knights with interesting superpowers later on in the timeline
- King Pellinore is a 'dry drunk' when it comes to the Questing Beast; he fell very low because of his addiction, losing his lands and becoming a bit of a joke before finding a renewed purpose as a senior member of Nanteleod's coalition. My plan for why Netley Marsh goes so badly is that Pellinore falls off the wagon and goes AWOL in the run up to the battle.

We start playing at 8:00pm and finish at 11:00. That doesn't leave a lot of time. As a result I'm playing through most events fairly quickly. This leaves little time for character development in terms of time working out their families, manors, etc in any kind of detail. I'm stripping the winter phase down to the bare bones and streamlining it wherever I can.

My goal is the ease up on the pace once Arthur is in play, but if I were to do all this again I'd do it very differently.

I woudl not run one year a session - I'd run like 5 years per session. I would only actualy play a single year's events and summarise the rest. Key events only - The Sword Lake and Sword feast all in one, The Siege of Bayeux. I'd do the entire confrontation between Uther and Gorloise, then go directly to introducing Igraine at court, then have the Cornish flee court all in one session. The entire anarchy would be maybe two sessions. Somewhere in there I'd set aside a whole session for just characetr catch-up, births, marriages, deaths, run a Your Lands solo and maybe a fast form hunt.

My aim would be to go from start to Arthur in like 5 or 6 sessions tops. Then ease up the pace gradually and take my time from there.

I'm a player not the GM, so I'm not sure how far off canon we are, but we (The Players) suspect we are a long Long way off....

I think we went off at a tangent when in the first year of the anarchy (496) the PKs met Prince Cynric of Wessex on the road, challenged him and captured him and a couple of his men.

We parleyed with Wessex and using Cynric as leverage secured an uneasy peace with wessex, in 497 which over a few years we played into a cautious alliance.
Salisbury paid tribute to Essex in the first year, and began building walls.

2nd year, we denied them tribute, and in the third year (498)we beat off the army they sent to extract payment, with the help of a token force from our 'allies' Wessex. Cynric, now something of a friend of Salisbury, is released. A Lip service alliance was made with Sussex..

in 499 Essex came to salisbury in force, but so too did the very many allies and friends that salisbury had won, Including the full Host of Wessex, under prince Cynric's banner, and in the course of three battles Essex were crushed. Even so, it was a hard year for Salisbury.
503 sees Salisbury ride to Silchesters Aid, and Salisbury fighth the only decisive engagement crushin ga Saxon Advance Guard at Windsor, while Silchester vassilates, and loses London. Salisbury aids Wessex in restoring the Countess of Rydychan to her county, which becomes a vassal of Wessex.
504 and kent and Essex both march against Salisbury. Kent i sfought to a standstill at Duplain by Wessex and Salisbury, and then Essex is Defeated decisively in a great battle before the walls of Salisbury, their standard taken, and the host routed returning to Essex to find that their neighbbours, Anglia and sussex had raided them harshly while they were in the field. (Having been encouraged to do so by Salisbury)
505. Having suffered much by Levcommagus' treachery Salisbury rides against them with their Allies of the Gwessi (Wessex), and then join with Nanteleod in riding against Essex in a battle in which King Aetheswith of essex is slain.

Salisbury have not lost an engagement by this point. Our GM is a let the dice fall where they may type of chap, and we have by dint of mad skillz, bold decisions, and no small degree of luck carved our way to having a reputation of being a major force to be rekoned with, as well as being good for our word.

506 the PK Marshal of Salisbury, Sir Owain, dies hunting the beast of Modron Forest. (Waly, twas me! never mind, Heir is a squire just about of age,who is present with on of the other PKs, slays beast in revenge(with help from two other hard assed PKs) and is knighted on the spot)

507 Prince Alain of Escalavon (Nanteleods heir) pays for a church for Sir Owain to be buried in, and Wessex sends rich funeral gifts.. Salisbury is Well respected by All the major factions except Cornwall.

508 Netley Marsh. Nanteleod and his British, Irish and Welsh allies ride against Wessex.
Cerdic, Earl of Wessex and King of the Gwessi, (As he is referred to in Salisbury) is converted by a mission of the PK's. He is Baptised and takes the Christian faith. (along with his other faiths....)
Salisbury stands with Wessex, along with Cornwall, Devon, Sussex and Port.
the PKs are invited to ride with Prince Cynric on a death &/or glory mission to Kill King Nanteleod, and while the older wiser heads politely decline, one recently knighted Banneret of Salisbury accepts, and rides with Cerdic as his bodyguard. His younger brother is a squire in service to Prince Alain of Escalavon....
Wessex is triumphant, Nanteleod is slain by Cynric, and Salisbusy is once more on the victorious side. Saxon mercenaries who ride onto Salisbury lands to plunder are driven off by household Knights of Wessex.

So.

How far off course are we?

(for the full story, see here. https://sites.google.com/site/pendragoncampaign/ )
(NB will contain very many spoilers for the GPC)

I'd say you're pretty far off course.

Cynric, as are all Saxons, is a murdering rapist. +100000 Honor if you kill him in his sleep, he doesn't deserve to die in combat, that would be too good for him.

Nanteleod is one of the good guys. He's opposing the murdering rapists (Saxons) that are invading the island. So why one of your guys ride against him is beyond me.

So yeah, pretty far off course. Chronologically and morally.

So yeah, pretty far off course. Chronologically and morally.


Come back Vortigern, all is forgiven!

In this campaign Badon should be fun.

Simon Hibbs

I'd say you're pretty far off course.


I disagree. All the major points of the Anarchy to date are there and on time - the arrival of Cerdic, the loss of London, defeat and death of Aeselthwith, Nanteleod extending the reach of his power into southern Logres and being defeated/killed in turn by Cerdic leading a force of 'welsh-style' knights etc etc. The main divergences are that Salisbury has parlayed it's way to being a substantial power in the south and, when push came to shove, that they favoured an established alliance with their (trustworthy so far) Saxon neighbours over an appeal to pan-Cymraeg solidarity by a Cambrian king who they've had few dealings with to date.

In fact I'd say that the alliance with Cerdic is in keeping with the GPC even - Cerdic is presented as the 'good Saxon' (or perhaps 'least bad' Saxon), the one who is half-Cymric, offers to treat with Salisbury when he first arrives and deals with his Welsh allies fairly (if they take him up on his offer) - so Salisbury choosing to establish an alliance with Cerdic and prospering thereby is a supported by the GPC (not the default path granted, but a plausible alternative track).

Even the Battle of Badon can be finessed, although I will say no more on this as that way lies spoilers.

One of the great things about GPC, is given the exact same skeleton, we have numerous offshoots of what happens. More, the game allows such to happen, and the mere fact that these campaigns survive and thrive speaks to the creation of a great set of rules and background.

In my current campaign, I have thrust the fey heavily into the mix. Thus my players have to make decisions realizing there are three sides to every coin (Pagan, Christianity, and faerie), and so far, they having a blast.

I'm interested to follow this campaign more, it sound like fun.

The Great tradgedy is that we quite Liked Nanteleod, and had ridden to battle at his side in the past. His Heir, Prince Alain, is an old friend of the PKs. The Party (And Salisbury) Petitioned Nanteleod earnestly not to war against Cerdic. We'd made it plain that if he rode against any other Saxon Power we would march to his aid, but that we were bound by oath to stand with the Gwessi.

Nanteleod Chose his fate, and we mourned it.

Banneret Roderick De Woodford swore to ride at Cynrics side and defend him against all harm, to see Cynric through the fray to challenge Nanteleod in personal combat. But he swore not to raise a hand against Nanteleod hmself.

We are all having an absolute blast playing this campaign.

I believe that the GPC is a nearly complete story. All it's missing are the actions of the PK's, and those are the most important parts.

Anyone ever played in a campaign that killed off Lancelot? I never liked him, but I ran a game a few years back where one of my players brilliantly threw a wrench into the whole thing.

One of my players had a wife who was a Pagan priestess (so was the Knight). She ended up making a potion for Arthur and Guenevere that would guarantee conception, so I let it follow through. The next year Arthur and Guenevere had a legitimate child.

I was still going to have Mordred come around and ruin everything, and keep all the other plot points there, but Lancelot and Guenevere's relationship would be fundamentally changed. Because she wouldn't fall for him, he would never get that glimmer of hope from her that would drive him to become the Mary Sue he was destined to become.



Any other campaigns like this?

Haven't really hit that point in a GPC campaign. My personal opinion is that probably the only characters with "script immunity" are Arthur, Guenivere, and probably Merlin. (The last to a degree because I think he's fun as a wild card.)

Anyone else in the story can be substitited for in some way. Instead of Mordred you can have one of the other "bad" Orkneys be the rotter digging at the foundations of Camelot. Lancelot, Galahad, etc. can be replaced by the actions of other knights trying to be the chivalric or religious paragon knight. Or even have something work out like Kai and Guenevere ending up having the affair. There are lots of options where to branch off the straight and narrow in order to produce the same final ending while exploring a different route getting there.

My take is I try to stay on cue chronologically to events in the time line, however pc's have a tendency to change the outcome f the event like when the player character took sir tors place and married Ahvielle instead of Sir tor. I use as the Evil Knights I use early on the most dastardly knights of all I call them my four horse men they all work together and at times can be found doing all kinds of nasty stuff the y are Andred, Breunis Sans Pite aka The Black Knight, his brother Sir Bertelot and Turquine I actually introduce him as a Pointual squire for pk knights after solving his delema in an adventure. I dont introduce Morgan or mordread till 515 in the adventure of the grey knight and even then i keep it vauge i dont let things heat up with my pc's till the third phase when I run the castle of tears and Morgan le fay's challenge, and while in the area of the Angles i run a good forest adventours campaign sutible for any time with the legend of Old Shuck the Demon Dog who terrify's horses and kills knights with his breath, pk's must hunt him down and either kill it or banish him from this world to back to hell from which he came. my campaigns are really based off what the players want to be to play, and accomplish, in this campaigne after it's thier game and I am thier to entertain them for the evening.

Well, we started prior to the publication of GPC. We followed Boy King pretty closely between 510 and 518. Then there was a bit of an in-game generational & RL relocation gap, before we resumed with GPC from the Roman War, in which Count Robert died. Not only that, but his son and heir, Roderick, died a few years later, thus causing a bit of a succession crisis, as the baby in his wife's belly was suspected not to be his... Long story short, the PKs brokered a deal with the 'loyallists' (i.e. those claiming the baby was the rightful heir), agreeing to acknowledge the child as the true heir as long as their status and lands would be restored (the PKs had been declares outlaws and lands confiscated by the loyalist regime in Salisbury). A couple of years down the line the baby ran afoul of the dice. Thus the succession went to Lady Jenna, who, after being kidnapped in the same event as Guinevere, was rescued by Agravaine and Mordred (more the later than the former, though). Both worthies were interested in gaining the fair maiden's hand (and the earldom) in marriage, and Arthur dropped the issue to the laps of the Salisbury knights (AKA allowing the PKs throw their weight and opinions around). Eventually, they settled on Agravaine as their new Lord and Master. And my, but that is a fun situation for the GM. :P

While the Big Plot is more or less intact, I have to admit that I find it more fun to GM the little things and intermediate plot. We didn't have any problem with the French regarding Guinevere's cousin (AKA Lady-Not-Appearing-In-This-Campaign); instead, it was Sir Kay reasserting his right to Normandy that the French King had usurped after the Roman War which triggered the French War. The Gomeret War was triggered, in part, by one PK drawing his sword in King Maelgwyn's hall, and getting thrown into the dungeon for it to cool his heels.

Whole Camile plot didn't see even a glimpse of Lancelot, but instead it was one of the PKs who rescued Arthur, with the help of a Saxon maiden who was less than happy with her lot in Camile's service.

So I'd say we are probably a bit off from the GPC main line, but close enough to be recognizable. And close enough that I can incorporate the stuff I like from the GPC while ignoring stuff that I prefer not to introduce into the campaign, such as Arthur's illegitimate sons.

My take is I try to stay on cue chronologically to events in the time line, however pc's have a tendency to change the outcome f the event like when the player character took sir tors place and married Ahvielle instead of Sir tor.

Wait... what? I don't have a copy of the GPC to reference, but are we talking about Ahvielle Alarch ferch Amren of "The Heart Blade"?

Yes i was using it out of the blood and lust suplament from 4th eddtion she also makes a bref apperence in the grey knight adventure and I make her one of the eligbale ladies to court from Guenivere's court of love and run the adventure of the queens knights every year the queens knights must proe they still have what it takes to become or stay a queens knight ie being a romantic knight!

And dont feel bad i dont have the GPC either lol!

I was just shocked at the thought of it being Tor's expected place to marry her. Tor wasn't even mentioned in the original manuscript, and got added in the editing process. If it's really become canon in the GPC that she turns into arm-candy for an NPC, I'll be very saddened to hear that. The whole concept of the adventure was an epic love story in which a player knight could be the hero.

I think the good captainhedges is conflating Ariette, the comely maid from the Grey Knight, who is smitten with Sir Tor (with Sir Griflet in the sidelines trying to win the fair maid, too), with Ahvielle ferch Amren, the damosel of the Heart Blade in Blood & Lust, who is pretty much explicitly intended for a PK to woo and win. Alas, in our campaign the PK who tried wooing her died in an unconnected adventure, and others were already married, so now she is slated to marry Sir Dornar de Galis, one of the brothers of Sir Lamorak, to prevent her from dying an old maid. :P

I've just finished the Embassy to Estregales. After King Canan was poisoned I expected my players to head back to Salisbury like good little automatons, never considering the fact that they might want to stay in Estregales to fix the alliance despite the ... temporary setback. I'm now furiously paging through Savage Mountains trying to string a chain of plausible events together to deal with this sudden upheaval of the established order. This is the first time they've stepped off the beaten path and I'm pleasantly surprised by how much leeway the GPC actually gives.

By the by, has anyone considered how old Father Dewi is? I figured he'd be in his 50's around 493, now I realize he's Archbishop well into Arthur's reign. If I don't want a 100-year old Archbishop pottering around West Cambria I'm going to have to start some serious retconning now...

I was curious too so I will try to to help with that first with the closest real dates.

Dewi
born 462 (earliest historians cite) so if Dewi was in 493, say 31. welsh annals have his death as 569. beating George Burns. Dying at 107. Thats alot, but he was a saint in a world of magic. But if you dont believe in that sort of divine blessing then, since 31 is the youngest I could put him at, id just have him die sooner than historical and have him be 31 in 493. death at 529. But aroud 545 Dubricus retires. making Dewi Archbishop at 83. Now I havent read ahead to see how that jives with future news in the gpc, so we should look at that next.

Cheers Leodegrance!

PC: "Hold on, wasn't Dewi like, an old man when we first met him?"
GM: "Nah, that's just your faulty memory. Besides, he's got a slow metabolism."

I think the good captainhedges is conflating Ariette, the comely maid from the Grey Knight, who is smitten with Sir Tor (with Sir Griflet in the sidelines trying to win the fair maid, too), with Ahvielle ferch Amren, the damosel of the Heart Blade in Blood & Lust, who is pretty much explicitly intended for a PK to woo and win.

Yes you are partially correct on both accounts! I make them both avalible at the same time Arriette, is simmiten with sir tor and graflet is smitten with her as well however i decided to alter it a bit and have the pc knights try and out do both if they do they get the girls if not one marries sir tor and the other marries sir grafflet. so in a way we are all correct sort of! But your write I did confuse them like most writers confuse morgan la fey and margwise in some manuscripts Mordread is the son of Marggwise but if memeory serves me write Morgan Lay fey was supposed to be his mother some writters blend the two together! so thats what I did with Ariette, and Ahvielle.

In one of the campaigns that I played the group of player knights was more often enemies of King Arthur than friends and loyal vassals
This was entirely due to some bad choices that the players made, and it was rather much fun for everyone most of the time
That is
up until they really went over the line and were captured
and hung
and because they were player characters of friends of mine
they were not
drawn
and quartered
Nonetheless, the players agreed it was a terrible way to end the campaign

It was then that I decided I would not do a book I had considered called
Kill King Arthur!
which was going to be:
1. ideas for player knights to try to destroy the king
2. a GM guide of how to defend the king from rebels, including Morgan le Fay

That could have been an interesting book, Greg.

In my previous game, I think some of the knights were very tempted to join up with Lot. They'd met him when he came down to get married and he impressed them as a dashing, manly, self-made man (and a Pagan, which aligned him religiously with half the group). He heard about Sword Lake and their other deeds and would have loved to woo them away. And with Uther on the decline, Lot looked great in comparison. The mutual respect was enough that the PKs were invited to Lothian for Gwaine's birth and the strength ceremony. After Uther's death, my ex-wife's character in particular considered it (which might have dragged in others) but her great loyalty to Roderick transferred to his widow and heir (and her loyalty was greater than the other PKs- her character was a woman who started out in disguise- her twin brother had served as her father's squire, and when both died, she went in disguise to keep control of the family's manor. To help keep her secret, her younger sister also disguised herself as a man to serve as her squire. Post trial for Arthur's kidnapping, she revealed her secret to Roderick because she couldn't keep lying to the man who swore to fight the king for her and her companions. She'd accumulated enough glory at that point that Roderick reasoned, God must want her to be a knight)

Anarchy and Boy King under Lot would have been interesting. Instead, they stuck around Salisbury, and ended up joining Nanteleod's coalition by brokering a marriage between him and the Countess. The joy was shortlived, as Nanteleod still fell in battle.

A list of atrocities that my players have committed so far

Not for the faint of heart. These have been done by good men who honestly tried to follow their chivalric virtues and ideals, but who strayed off the path, somehow failing to make the right decisions. To their defense, sometimes there never was one right decision available.


The campaign started promisingly when one of the PCs attacked an insolent goat herder (Merlin in disguise).
During a war operation in France, one of the PCs raped a noblewoman. The bastard Vincent, who had been raised to hate, came to Britain looking for his father 21 years later. He missed his heraldry roll and killed his father's nephew in a duel instead (the father had died a few years earlier). The player who had played the father and the nephew took Vincent as his new PC.
The young Earl-to-be of Rydychan and his sister, Myfanwy had been fostered (more like contingency war prisoners) to Aelle's court many years ago. Myfanwy had became infatuated with a Saxon prince and they were currently in their wedding bed when the PCs stormed in, killed the prince and “rescued” the bride. Later on, Vincent had the indecency to ask Myfanwy's hand as a prize and her mother had no choice but to accept. It was NOT a happy marriage.
A PC killed another PC in duel for the Lady of the Stevington Well.
One of the PCs, a knight of the Round Table, died is a duel against King Arthur. To their defense, neither party knew who the other was. Read Malory's description of the Theft of Excalibur for more info. As an epilogue, another PC burned to ashes after donning the fiery cape that had been sent to Arthur.
After killing Duke Brunor in a duel and then decapitating his wife, taking part in the assassination of the King of Sugales and supporting the West-Anglian rebels by killing the elderly Duke of Anglia in a duel that was much more like a premeditated murder, a PC, a knight of the Round Table, was banished from the kingdom to Holy Land for 10 years. He became the leader of the Grail Christianity after he had returned.
The PCs escaped into the Cauldron of Plenty and were forced to reconcile between the pagan gods of life and death and a dead Christian saint whose body had been thrown in earlier and whose presence had caused the cauldron to malfunction. Their “solution”: slaughter the gods with their own weapons and leave the saint there.
A PC accidentally killed Sir Bors in a tournament. I guess I have to find a worthy substitute for the Grail Quest.
A married PC was playing truth or dare with a naked lady fairy who asked: “When will your wife die?”. The PC, a victim of his of own lust, answered: “When I have two sons.” His wife died 9 months later while trying to give birth to stillborn twins.
After conquering the Dolorous Garde and finding his own name in gold letters, a PC became its new delusional overlord, in command of brass giants, ghosts and lions.
A PC had a child with Morgana.
Another PC left his family for Morgana when she was exiled from the kingdom, and became her champion.
The PCs heard that the marshal and the Countess of Salisbury were having an affair. They set a trap and the couple was caught red handed: the marshal was stripped of his title and his lands and the Countess was sent to a monastery. An act of loyalty? Nope, just greed: they were given the marshal’s land, title and more, just like they had planned.
During the conquest of Rome, a PC fell in love with a male slave, whom he took as a squire and brought to Britain. The slave became a PC and a knight later on. The two maintained their homosexual affair even after having been married to elsewhere.
A Papal delegation from Rome came to declare the Grail Christianity as a heresy. They had the White Knight killed by poisoning so that he could not defend the religion and when they were about to get caught, the delegation held a ecclesiastic court against made-up culprits who were accused of devil worship. When a PC openly questioned this, he was also taken for interrogation. Refusing to co-operate, his hand were burned off and he was accused of sodomy and worse things. While waiting for his sentence, his wife, the Loathsome Lady of the Grail, managed to slip in and they took their own lives and became martyrs of their faith.
A very Christian PC fell in love with a fairy whose father was King Balor of the Evil Eye. He rescued her from the Monster Isles and lives in sin with her, in separation from his actual wife and children.
