You know, that might be worth a smidge of glory even, posting what happened with a trait, how it was rolled (virtue fail to vice roll and playing the outcome). Nothing more than a point or two for amusement value (and fame for letting the story get out there).

Hopefully people will try out bad situations and failed Virtue checks and all that. Striving against fate and ones worse side makes for great stories.
Pendragon is one of the few TT games that is like Dwarf Fortress. Losing is fun!
I've never heard of Pendragon, though it seems I probably should. I'm guessing one would need the books in order to play it?
There's just one book, but it's pretty helpful. I devoured it cover to cover a few days ago; it's not a hard read.
@monogram You don't necessarily need to read the book, but it makes some of the skills clearer.
It seems like a mess, the charsheet, but its pretty simple. If you played Cthulu, you'll get the way the dice work at least.
There is a 1 page how-to-play (http://knightlytales.wdfiles.com/local--files/game-system/gk-pendragon-howto.pdf), and its really that simply. A chunk of the sheet does into the concept of traits and passions, the real heart of the game.
But yes, I recommend it regardless, its a great system, lots of good info in the book both on historical period and the literature its inspired from.
