Along these lines, I was thinking of having Arthur either choose to do the right thing when he needed to - like thinking of his kingdom first and facing Mordred with reinforcements. For example, Aragorn refused the Ring, which finally righted the mistake make by Isildur when he took the Ring and wore it, instead of destroying it immediately. In a way, this has been inspired by Aragorn from Lord of the Rings - I think of him as the "anti-Arthur" in some ways, since he did everything right. This would necessitate an "alternate universe" where events like the May Babies atrocity and Guinevere's infertility would not have occurred. That is, I've been thinking of ways that Arthurian Britain could have survived beyond Arthur's lifetime. Steinbeck's treatment of the legends is also very good, especially his telling of Lancelot's tale.Īnother thing I've been thinking about is making the setting flexible in regards to time period. They make for good "generic" NPCs (you know, so one could say simply: "The Brown Knight: Use 7th level Knight of Quality stats, with these modifications." Helps making NPCs on the fly go more smoothly.Īll the source material you mention, and stuff like Geoffrey of Monmouth's "History," are great resources. Yes, I'm going to do a conversion of the 1e Deities & Demigods stuff, or at least some of it - the Knights you mention, for example.
