My players often complain of not being able to track all of their glory events. They may have 10-20 small events in a year and want to remember them well!

Using this microsoft word document your players have an accurate monthly calendar and a second page for glory. This can be printed front/back of course. A player can mark off days above and add his individual glory events at the bottom. This is for the single year.

For my players this has helped us "chronicle" our achievements.

Thank you! It is one of the areas that makes Pendragon shine I feel, that accumulated sense of achievements over time

It looks like this would be useful for a long scenario, but since the rules suggest only one adventure per year we've never needed this
And I acknowledge that many campaigns ignore that rule
although the campaign development and numbers are set up for one per year
otherwise you end up with everyone being superheroes
whichis fine if that is how you like your campaign, of course

Woah, a reply from the big man himself! Thanks for such a great game, Greg! I studied medieval history in uni and absolutely love what you've done with the game. Hands down my favorite tabletop!


I agree with you Greg and I strive really hard to keep the game grounded and prevent any sort of power creep or superhero play. My group has been playing for about 2 real-world years and we're on the year 510 in-game. Our most powerful knight has around 7k glory but he also single-handedly saved Salisbury from King Cerdic and had many major events. In my opinion the story has been very fluid.

I do ignore the "one adventure per year" rule. In fact, I usually run a solo scenario for each participant relating to his manor and lands and family. In my game there is a huge focus on the story revolving around the knight's manor and his family relationship, which often includes bailing them out of trouble.

Even if you only give 1 glory per event however, this sheet is useful in that no part of the history is forgotten. The player can track every accomplishment which means he can celebrate them better imho.

Not quite true, Greg... As long as you are keeping the experience rolling and Training & Practice as one per year, the only thing advancing the powerlevel is Glory. And as the GM, you have a very good control of that. If the PKs are spending their time in personal stuff rather than rescuing princesses and kingdoms, having extra adventures per year doesn't impact much to their Glory, either. If it is family politics, making sure your sister gets married to a good knight, and that your little brother becomes a squire to Sir X, there is less Glory there to be gained. Even riding in a tournament circle doesn't give THAT much extra Glory in a year to boost a guy to superhero status, unless they are good enough to win them.

Now if you are doing 5 adventures of 300 Glory each in a year, and rolling experience checks and giving Training and Practice after every adventure, then I agree, you will have superheroes in your hand in a couple of years.

I did not think of this when I was playing in my first real campaign. What I did was create a new sheet each year for each of my knights and eventually, their sons. On it, I kept a record of events.

In my present campaign, one player kept meticulous notes and published a record (for which she got extra glory for) of the year.

In both cases, we only did training and experience one time a year, although in the second case, there was a much expanded winter phase as my players wanted to follow up on the events that came out. So, they eventually became seeds of future stories, and in one case, the player had to make a Love(family) vs. Loyalty (Lord). Family won out, and when the scenario finally ended, the repercussions of the player not showing up at winter's court and spring muster had to be dealt with.

Each player, I find, will tinker or play with what they like to do. Some write detailed notes, some write the briefest record of events, some just check boxes, and some create new sheets. Whatever a player and gamemaster agree on is ok.

As an aside, I love players like that. As a GM, I of course have my own notes, but since I am trying to juggle 4-6 players and to keep the story moving, I generally don't have the time to write down what the players are doing, certainly not in any detail. This goes for double in the times when we played face to face. For those years my main 'go to' record of what actually happened is one of the old players' character sheets, with its 50 or so accumulated pages of history notes. Very very nice to go back to see what actually happened in the year X. Made all the more valuable that the player in question kept very detailed notes, not only what he did but commenting on what the others did, too.

Campaign diary/log is an underutilized resource in many games. Personally, I found that in some campaigns, writing a character diary was a very good way to actually get to the grips with how my character interpreted the situations and the impact it had on him. Granted, an in-game diary works less well in Pendragon, but you can always re-cast it as an oral story.

Anyway, digression over. :)

You forgot to add the glory columns for new glory and total earned I fixed this here is the new version
