Sir Pellinore’s Game (2022)

Precis Intermedia brings back this vintage roleplaying game of magic medieval adventures (originally published in 1978).

Sir Pellinore’s Book [of Rules for a Game of Magic Mideval Adventures] was the first 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 trait ratings. Attack rolls are percentage-based, but there is a handy chart for using 2d6 instead. While probably not for those who like pretty and polished RPGs, this game is likely to inspire gamers with the classic DIY spirit.

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 Book has been remastered for a clean print and is readily available at a low cost.
