Precis Intermedia brings back this vintage roleplaying game of magic medieval adventures (originally published in 1981).

Sir Pellinore’s Favorite Game was the third of three editions virtually lost to time. Available once again, this game illustrates the pioneering spirit of early tabletop role-players, as they created their own systems, often inspired by the first RPG and its derivatives.

The simple yet familiar system plays quickly and offers a few twists, such as spending experience not only to rise in level, but also increase attribute ratings. Attack rolls are percentage-based, but there is a handy chart for using 2d6 instead. Reputation also plays a factor in the game, not only for persuasion and loyalty, but also for accomplishments, like slaying dragons. The combat mechanics are complemented with rules for foraging, hunting, disease, jousts, battles, and ships.

This piece of gaming history is a must for collectors and old-school gamers. With the original virtually impossible to find, this classic reprint of Sir Pellinore’s Favorite Game has been remastered for a clean print and is readily available at a low cost.
