A roleplaying game by Greg Stafford, published by Green Knight Publishing.

This is a resource page for Pendragon, a roleplaying game based upon the legends of King Arthur. It is intended to link Pendragon campaigns with information on the World-Wide Web, resources related to the game, and material on the Arthurian genre in general, in hopes of creating a corpus of information useful to both players and gamemasters, as well as those who are merely curious about the game. There's also a bit of material related to the game's "little brother", the Prince Valiant storytelling game.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to email me.

This page is an unofficial forum. It is in no way associated with Green Knight Publishing, Inc. and thus should not be considered to be representative of the views or beliefs of that company.

Pendragon was originally published by Chaosium. In July of 1998, they sold the "King Arthur Pendragon" trademark and all associated copyrights to Peter Corless. (Peter gave the details in a note to the Pendragon-L list.)

Peter started Green Knight Publishing, Inc., which released some new material and reprinted some old material. In August 2004, Peter sold the game to White Wolf's Arthaus imprint. (White Wolf put out a press release on a discussion thread in the RPG.net forums.)
