We will play Greg Stafford’s original Prince Valiant (1989 edition), with as many of the Advanced rules mixed in as players want (e.g. shifting the Storyteller role). I’ll run a mash-up of episodes from the original game and from the 2017 Episodes Book. We’ll create characters at the start of the session.
Prince Valiant is a lightweight, innovative storytelling RPG set in Hal Foster’s Prince Valiant setting, which is based loosely on Arthurian legend. Characters have only two main stats (Brawn and Presence), plus a number of skills. Contests are resolved using a “d2 dice pool” (i.e. coins) either tested against a Difficulty Factor or an opposed “roll”. Players can mix and match from the basic rules and advanced rules. The advanced rules include the ability for players to take over the storyteller role during the game, to win coveted Storyteller Certificates, and, if you play well, Gold Stars!
