I finished a first complete manuscript last month. Greg Stafford is currently reading it for comments. The troubleshooting and rewriting should not take more than a month or three. Then, hopefully, we will enter the ultimate editoral phase. It's too early to give a date of publication, but my guess would be around fall next year.

Thank you very much for your hard work and the updates, Ruben. This is, once again, greatly appreciated. I cannot wait to see the game and play the hell out of it.

Update on PALADIN (Charlemagne with Pendragon rules)

Things haven't gone very well for me this year, but I'm back now and hoping to see some progress on the publication front. The editor, Stewart Wieck, has been busy doing other things, but it seems he finally made up his mind and get PALADIN out in the stores for 2013...

*crossing my fingers*

Come on, Stewart, move it!

Is it Stewart Wieck of White Wolf?

I hope so, but I won't hold my breath.

I didn't sign with White Wolf, but with Nocturnal (= Stewart Wieck).

Are there any other Pendragon projects in the work, or is Stafford done with it?

There are still Pendagron books being released regularly, like the Book of Entourage, or this one : http://nocturnal-media.com/forum/index.php?topic=1706.0

Or do you mean other KAP adaptations for Samurai or Greek Heroes? He did talk about those some time ago, but I don't know if they are still in the pipeline...

Guys,

  We actually pinged Stafford about using Pendragon for a far-future neo-feudal game that may or may not be related to the other thread I started a coupla weeks ago...  

  He responded that he thought it sounded quite interesting, but that he did not make the decisions concerning Pendragon these days, and forwarded our project proposal to the Stewart Wieck, and he responded on 21 NOV 2012.  So stuff is still rolling...

No, I just had no clue what Stafford was up to lately.

Hello all,

After a very long period of silence, I'm proud to announce that PALADIN will be launched on KickStarter next month.

The book of about 450 pages contains:

1. Character Creation
2. The Past (a year-by-year account from 700 to 767, the history of your character's grand-father and father)
3. Personality and Passions
4. Reputation: Glory and Attitudes (Attitudes are like reversed passions, i.e. it shows how others feel about your character)
5. Skills
6. General Mechanics
7. Combat
8. Mass Combat
9. Magic (religious magic for players)
10. The Winter Phase
11. Ambitions and Ideals
12. Wealth and Treasure
13. Frankish Society
14. Frankland
15. The Future (a year-by-year account of Charlemagne's reign from 768 to 814)
16. NPCs
17. Foreign Cultures
18. Opponents and Creatures
19. Adventures (2 complete adventures and 18 short-forms)

It's a bit like the Great Pendragon Campaign in the sense that it has the complete chronology covering over a century of important events and the adventure ideas that go with them. The chronology incorporates almost all extant chansons de geste into one coherent time line -- something which has never been done before.

Afterwards, there are a dozen full-sized adventures ready for publication, mostly adaptations from the original chansons, like "The Song of Roland", "The Conquest of Orange", "Karel ende Elegast", "Huon of Bordeaux", "Gaydon", etc.

Sounds really cool!

Definitely has my interest.

Very interested, indeed.
