@Jensenator ich vermute, es gibt abseits von #Pendragon erstaunlicherweise gar nicht so viele Ritter-Rollenspiele/Settings. Also Ritter-Rollenspiele jetzt nicht im #Harnmaster - Sinne (Mittelaltersimulation) sondern in dem Sinne, dass die Spiele den ideologischen Überbau und die romantisierende Rezeption des wehrfähigen Adels des europ. Mittelalters in den Blick nehmen und die SC dann den entsprechend dieser Narrative durch die Gegend eiern.

[1] The first ttrpg I ever played was Engel ('Angel(s)') by Oliver Graute, Oliver Hoffmann and Kai Meyer. It’s very rule light and played with tarot cards.
The setting is a post-apocalyptic world with a strong church that has the ultimate argument why you should believe in god – actual angels (the player characters) that fight against the insectoid demons which threaten humanity.
There are some Warhammer-like ideas in it, but where Warhammer is over the top, Engel is tragedy.

[6] My favorite game I never get to play is #Pendragon.
It’s a ttrpg about King Arthur and his knights of the round table … with all the strange logic of Arthurian epics.
I don’t even know if it’s good, but I like the idea. Maybe I would be disappointed.
Please respond by saying what sorts of TTRPG things you're pretty likely to either talk about or respond to if you see them.
This can be a list of games (D&D! Tribe 8! Fate!) or categories (the weirdest of indie stuff! NSR! Anything PBtA!), topics (Worldbuilding! Publishing!), stuff you're making, meta-commentary (The State Of The Industry), and so on.
Then maybe share, and if the replies are building up, check them for new people.
@LeviKornelsen I really enjoy all sorts of convos about GM/Ref business, especially #hexcrawls and sandbox elements, tools, etc. Mechanically, I’m most likely to hop into #dnd, #odnd, #adnd, #osr, or #nsr talk as I’m most familiar with those systems. I’ve got #traveller and #pendragon on my to-play list so I definitely keep my eyes peeled for posts about those. General #worldbuilding is fun too. Always looking for topics and materials to highlight on my YouTube channel, #hexedpress.
When I first got regular internet access post/university, I joined two fandom communities - for Pratchett, and the #Pendragon RPG.
The former I am still in touch with, but the latter I mostly lost when the [KAP] mailing list died.
Does anyone know if there is a #PendragonRPG community on Mastodon?
@Some_Emo_Chick my wife had a #pendragon character very much like this lass. She wound up having an affair with Madoc ap Uther and giving birth to Eliwlod (not yet an eagle, but born in an enormous egg). Good times.
Because it's the first "Universal Game Engine" released under the free #ORC license, the new #BasicRoleplaying is poised to become the #Linux / open source software of the #TTRPG world. You can do almost whatever you like with the text of the book, including copy it, subject to the license.
I love #GURPS too, but it's not free & open the way #BRP is - yet.
The closest I get to #BRP these days is #DeltaGreen. I keep eyeing up Pendragon again, and also #FriaLigan’s #Dragonbane which is plumbing the same roots.
