endragon is a dis-
tinctive roleplay-
ing game.
The rules are
focused and f it
into a simple sys-
tem designed to
promote a singu-
lar gaming experi-
ence. The setting
may seem strange at first, but you only need to
know the rules of knighthood, and you will be
as knowledgeable as the heroes of old.
Another World
Another Time
the characters move. Initially, the Gamemas-
ter’s characters are merciless and brutal. Play-
er-knights may choose to remain in that unen-
lightened realm of history—this kind of behavior
does not penalize them, but neither rewards them.
But they also have a choice to join the fight to
improve the world. Their actions can stand as
shining lights of exceptional behavior, breaking
the old ways, and preparing for a better realm.
The story of King Arthur is about the strug-
gle to improve life. With his faithful knights,
he manifests the dream of a better world.
The game dramatizes this heroic effort in its
play. Great rewards go to those who strive to
improve the kingdom.
King Arthur changes the world, slowly to be
sure, but in general for the better. Bloodthirsty
warlords, selfish sorcerers, and even the environ-
ment itself in the form of enchanted woods and
forbidden wastelands, all conspire against these
changes. The Player-knights are an important
part of the struggle for the betterment of Britain.
The medieval Britain of history, inherent in
the old literature, was a dismal, violent, and
cruel place, with outdated standards of behavior.
Setting the game in this world was a deliberate
choice, for alongside the dark overtones comes
hope for a brighter tomorrow.
In the campaign, the Gamemaster paints a
harsh background as the reality within which
This is Another World.
