Still on the Pendragon train o' thought, I was very encouraged to see this glowing review of Pendragon from James over at Grognardia, especially since he is such a noted old-school guy and has forgotten more about RPG's than I've ever known:

It's really a very positive retrospective, including this statement: "It is, to be frank, the most perfect out-of-the-box RPG I have ever played." That is solid praise indeed.
If you want to know more about this game, read his review. Unlike me, he's actually played it and knows a great deal about it.
Your comments intrigued me, but having just spent $40 on a Hollow World box set, I'm not picking another gaming book up until Garycon at the earliest.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! :) I need to really watch myself or I'll constantly be buying new game systems just to read them. Hollow World does sound very cool by the way. As a kid, I was a huge fan of the Warlord Comics - which were, of course, set in the middle of the world.
ReplyDeleteEntirely self-promotional response here, but I did a retrospective on Pendragon back in January...

...One of my all-time favourite games.
Thanks Brendan. Nice post you made. The more the merrier. :)
