Hah!

What?

I'd just go read up and make my own setting about low fantasy post-roman britain. It's not like there's any shortage of documentation, or sites to visit, or historians that'll talk excitedly about it for hours.

Mythic Britain and Pendragon are both existing RPGs about 5th and 6th century Britain. Both have game mechanics AND setting information about the time period (Pendragon adds in chivalry, because King Arthur).

I'm asking which of the two is the better game, and why.

>>52135689
Pendragon has 6 editions, all roughly compatible from what I understand.

Mythic Britain is a Britain setting book for RQ6/Mythras.

Do you want chivalry or no? That should be the only determiner for your choice of game.

Mythic Britain, then; Pendragon was obviously made by americans who can't read maps.
Or read at all.
I'd still prefer my method of 'I'll write my own version of the setting', though.

Mythic Britain.

Pendragon IS NOT 5-6th century Britain. Well, not really. It is purposefully anachronistic so you actually have full to late medieval that is only said to "happen" in a framework of

Meanwhile Mythic Britain is actually Dark Ages setting. Oh, and you can play any character there, not just knight.

Pendragon is great, but only if you actually want to do explicitly arthurian romance genre. It was written with heavy focus on this and nothing else will work, fluff-wise at least. Mechanics are modified BRP so I guess they would be fairly adaptable.

Gotcha.

Are the Pendragon setting details of an6 use with Mythic Britain, for supplemental detail, or are they no good? I'm thinking the stuff on picts and Saxons, etc.
