Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderous entertainment
Review: As usual, Greg Stafford-period Pendragon beats all comers: however, unless you are an truely devoted fan a lot of the best material in this book may seem a bit obscure. I happen to know a (little) bit about medival feasts, so i found the section about the subject fascinating: in fact, it was my main reason for buying the book: but other role-players would propably rather focus on action-adventure. Nothing wrong with that: the last adventure of the book should provide all the fights anyone would want- but again, i have heard many people have been confused by the surreal elements in the setting- actually what i liked best about it. (The hints of some mysterious mythological system are enough for a whole campaign). There is one adventure, however, that i found painfully clumsy, not to mention (unintentionally, but still)chauvinistic: namely the "tournament of dreams", wich reminded me of a slightly more mature (with the stress on slightly) standard fantasy adventure, wich is quite dissapointing by Pendragon standards.
However, all in all, this is a great help for the truely devoted.
