What is your favourite time period of the Arthurian saga? I am writing up a series of adventures and wanted to know which time period people are most hungry to see adventures set in?

I do not have a favourite time period per se, but the middle and late phases are already well suplemented with adventures. Since many campaigns nowadays begin in 485, adventures set in the Uther and Anarchy Phases would probably be quite useful to many GMs.

Same; no favorite but a leaning toward the earlier times.

However my preference for adventures is
1. Multi year adventures
2. minimal faerie/christian magic involvement ( there is plenty of magical adventures )
3. exploration of the world ( physical or cultural)

Also adventures that are "against type" for the period. Ie non battle during boy king, or personal interaction during anarchy.

I'd be interested in something that follows GPC in broad detail but is set some where else besides Salisbury.

Thanks for the replies folks. The campaign we are currently setting up is located the link below.

The adventures will follow story arcs with several adventures in a given year. We are beginning during the last days of Uther's reign. Our campaign will detail the Southern Uplands, with the characters starting as young squires in the Kingdom of Gorre as so far I've never seen much info on it and also wanted to explore areas not as covered in the books.

The site's a work in progress so stay tuned and any feedback is always greatly appreciated. Once I have the first few adventures completed (eta is Dec 1), I will have them as a PDF for people to check out.

I like all the periods.

My wife is especially interested in the Anarchy/Phase One, so I'll use that in our upcoming game.

The adventure I am working on currently is set in 485. I agree that all the periods are great but that 15 period between Uther's death and Arthur drawing the sword gives the GM so much freedom
