Upon Finding the Holy Grail
Description
You have found the Holy Grail. But you are not alone for your rivals appear at the scene, as if fated!
Take on the role of a key figure of the Arthurian Mythos and fight for what they believe!
The characters:
• Lancelot-formerly the best of the King's Knights. Now, an outlaw who has been banished from Camelot for having an affair with Guinevere.
• Mordred— the son of Uryens and Morgana, still a youth he takes after his mother and is clever beyond his years— perhaps too clever.
• Morgana— half-sister to King Arthur and now wife of Duke Uryens.
• Palamedes— a Moorish knight, captured in France who now claims conversion to Christianity.
• Guinevere— the unfaithful Queen, caught betraying the King with Lancelot, and ever since cloistered away in a convent.
• Uryens— Duke of the North, who knighted Arthur as a reward for courage at the siege of Leondegrace, and who ever since has pledged his fealty to Arthur as he did to Arthur's father.
This is a PvP scenario but that does not mean it'll be a battle royale! You must ally yourself with those who would support you and strike when the time is right. Burning Wheel is a great fit for this kind of game as it supports intrigue, argument and uncomfortable compromise. Burning Wheel is a fantasy game about fighting for your character's beliefs. It is a rare game of in depth mechanics supporting a narrative experience.
The game is a D6 dice pool system, feel free to bring your own or use the ones provided!
No experience is required.
