I have spotted what seems to be an omission, see the subject-line.

Lancelot is introduced in 525 (page 196-97).

In the "New Round Table Members" 526-538 he is not mentioned, and after 539 the entry is dropped.

He is noted as "Away from Camelot" 528, 529, 530, 531, 532 ("soon slips away"), 533, 534, 535, 537, 538, 539 - here I stopped following this entry.

It is mentioned in year 532 that he "slips away" to "and so isn't around to accept the honor". This could mean that he is a member of RT from that, but this is not what the wording suggests.

Am I right or have I missed something?

I do think the PGC should be clear on when the worlds finest knight does achieve the RT.

I didn't find any mention about Lancelot joining the Table either. I our campaign he joined after he had rescued the Queen from Meliagrance in 538.

Yikes! Foolish me!
You are right, of course, and up until I read this I have been thinking that his knighting (in 525, when Arthur gives him his sword but Guenever gives him his sheath) was sufficient
But knighthood is quite different from Round Table!!

I might put it in 527, after the conquest of Rome
I would also make many more moments for Lancelot to shine during that campaign
or
more likely, after he has outdone all the other knights in single adventures, perhaps 532
or whenever he rescues the player knights from some failure of theirs

Well, by the time of whenever there might be a 2nd edition of GPC I will have it settled

I kind of liked the idea that he slips of time after time (damn that Modes score!) so that it take a while until he gets it. It think it could wait a while, say 532 or 533 or so.

According to KAP 5.1 p 7, Lancelot joins the Table in 531.

I think in Vulgate, Galeholt and Lancelot are inducted to the Round Table at the same time, after Lancelot rescues Arthur from the Saxon Witch (Camille). This, appropriately enough, happens during 531 in GPC (although the PKs are given more of a role in the rescue). In GPC, Galeholt is inducted in 530, so that ought to be delayed for a year if we go by Vulgate.
