Pendragon runs through the span of King Arthur’s reign by having many sessions cover a year if no big adventure comes along. It divides the year by seasons, with the winter phase being a quiet time. But the closeness of pagan midwinter and Christian Christmas can come through and touch it as well.
And of course one of the most famous Arthurian stories begins one Christmas and ends the next. The Green Knight film released this year has its own RPG as well, designed for one-shots, with honour as the core mechanic.
So the knights might attend Arthur’s great feast and enjoy Camelot’s friendly hearths, but adventure awaits in the cold outside their hospitable halls.
The Adventure of the Stolen Sun
The winter strikes early, cold and bitter, and it almost seems like the sun is missing. What terrible being has the power to shroud the world in such cold? And where does one begin on a quest to return the light?
