Editor's Note:
|
||
|
||
For this first two digests, I've pulled a handful of articles from a
|
||
Stormbringer list that I tried to get running a bit over a year ago.
|
||
The list unfortunately went belly up, but some of the articles are
|
||
still of interest. Also, I've included a few things I wrote up as
|
||
well as the first two articles I received from subscribers. Thanks
|
||
much to John Davis and Eric Rowe.

System: Pendragon
|
||
|
||
Here's more fun things that can happen at a feast.
|
||
|
||
[this can be used as an alternative to the table on page 114 of
|
||
Knights Adventurous -sda]
|
||
|
||
1: Someone chokes on a bone. First aid to save. Fumble leads to death.
|
||
Failure means person took 1d6 damage.
|
||
|
||
2: Messenger arrives with important announcement. Good scenario
|
||
lead-in.
|
||
|
||
3: A player notices another knight abusing a serving maid verbally.
|
||
Did she deserve it? Or is he just an uncouth fellow. Just/Arbitrary.
|
||
|
||
4: One of the entertainers makes a serious blunder. Do the players
|
||
insult him? Or do they applaud as if it had not occurred?
|
||
Merciful/Cruel
|
||
|
||
5: The feast goes on late into the night. Do you stay or insult the
|
||
host by leaving? Energetic/Lazy
|
||
|
||
6: Someone challenges a player to a game between courses. His skill is
|
||
3d6. He wagers 10d on the outcome.
|
||
|
||
7: A player gets a terrible case of gas. Does he leave and offend the
|
||
host? Or does he stay and offend his neighbors? Courtesy or
|
||
Modest/Proud
|
||
|
||
8: A rumor is going around besmirching the reputation of a lady.
|
||
Intrigue to find the source. Do the players know the lady? Is the
|
||
rumor true? Does her honor need defending?
|
||
|
||
9: An attempt at assassination by a servant. Awareness. Who is the
|
||
target? Who is behind the attempt? Why?
|
||
|
||
10: An event of religous significance. Perhaps a vision or the
|
||
appearance of a stranger. Religion. Is a quest called for?

System: Pendragon
|
||
|
||
Following are two former player characters from an old Pendragon
|
||
campaign that I ran last year. They were both rather interesting
|
||
fellows who became Knights of the Round Table very shortly after it
|
||
was founded. They might make interesting NPCs for other people's
|
||
Pendragon campaigns.

BACKGROUND & PERSONALITY
|
||
|
||
Amlyn first gained a name for himself when he defended a crone against
|
||
a knight she had once ensorcelled. He stood bravely against that
|
||
knight, despite the fact that he had no sword and no armor. Since
|
||
then, he has often taken to removing his armor when the most serious
|
||
battles are upon him. Men who recognise Amlyn quake in their boots
|
||
when they see him taking off his armor, for they know that death or
|
||
mortal wound are likely soon to follow. Arthur was impressed by
|
||
Amlyn's reckless bravery, and it was for that that he made him a
|
||
knight of the round table.

middle bottom of the shield, below the Chevronels, is a flower, gold
|

and silver in color.

BACKGROUND AND PERSONALITY
|
||
|
||
Michrulan is a valorous knight who was knighted the same year that
|
||
Arthur was first made King. In his first days as a knight, he served
|
||
Arthur loyally, fighting in many of Arthur's early battles. From the
|
||
start, Michrulan was known by all for his two great passions, his
|
||
loyalty to his horse, Bleucephus, and his amor for the Cymric farming
|
||
girl, Adwin. Guenevere was impressed by Michrulan's great love for
|
||
the girl Adwin, despite her low status, and it was for this reason
|
||
that she convinced Arthur to appoint him to the Round Table.
