Great Pendragon Resource

I came upon this website the other day while doing some Pendragon-related Googling. It missed my initial sweep of online Pendragon resources when I was preparing to run the GPC because, well, it didn't exist at the time!

Unfortunately, it's apparently already lost some steam and hasn't been updated in months--but Dr. Thijs, the blog's owner, can be given a pass, since he posted a generous portion of Pendragon resources in one fell swoop. Some I've seen, some I haven't; it's nice to have everything in one place.

 

Of particular interest to me is the Book of Maps entry, which expands the lovely full-color Salisbury map from Greg Stafford's site and goes one further by naming every damn manor in the county. Then, just to make my day further, a separate map details the major baronetcies of Salisbury. As my campaign is currently involved in county-scale politics, this was real boon for me.

Other personal favorites include the NPC Log and Romance Log (which will come in really handy if we end up running a courtly, Lady-centric campaign for the GPC's second generation) and a great one-page summary of a battle commander's options based on the results of his battle roll (sure to get some use between now and that possible courtly campaign...).

If you're running or planning to run a Pendragon campaign (particularly if it's going to be located in Salisbury!), check this one out.

  1. Yeah, I've used some of those resources from day 1. Great site.

    The other site I've stolen from is here:

    Mostly I just use image resources, though. As you've probably noted, Deviant Art is my favorite.

  2. Know of any good places to find charts and useful information I can cut-and-paste onto a GM screen? I have 4th edition and one huge annoyance is how hard it is to find information quickly, so much is buried in the text.

  3. In my opinion, the Book of Knights has the most readable and accessible charts of any edition. I ended up putting my own GM screen together in Photoshop by cutting and pasting from the Book of Knights PDF I own. I'll try and get a PDF of the screen I made posted to my blog shortly.
