Chaosium Interviews: Non-lethal combat in Pendragon, with David Larkins

Posted by Michael O'Brien on 28th Jun 2023

How will your knight fight? Will you swing a sword, charge with a lance, or do the smart thing and use a bow to stay as far back from danger as possible? Most importantly, will you accept a dastardly villain's inevitable surrender? David Larkins talks about non-lethal combat. How does it work in Pendragon? How can it create dramatic moments in all TTRPGs? How can you make the most of it as a gamemaster? 

For our Chaosium Interviews series, David Larkins, line editor of the Pendragon TTRPG, talks to James Coquillat about non-lethal combat in Pendragon's new edition and TTRPGs in general.
