Its Scarik again, inveterate GM and thread lurker. As some know I have a long-running King Arthur Pendragon game on another forum and we just reached Arthur pulling the sword from the stone. I'm not active there anymore aside from a few games so we decided to migrate elsewhere.
But we already have a strong Pendragon game here and this is a small place so instead of confusing observers with another one we will change to PALADIN.
The rules are similar and you can think of P:KoC as 6th edition KAP. I houserule everything but if you are following along with Cpt._Funkotron's game we talk about rules changes frequently so will be pretty close at all times.
And because my game load is pretty high the cunning and ruthless Roobeastie will be co-GMing with me. Or I will be with her. My job is to handle logistics, her's is setting development. We will conspire on the rest.
The only thing set in stone right now is that the game will begin in 768, the year Charlemagne is crowned, and that the setting will be much more egalitarian than history. The default assumption of society includes gender roles but these are regularly ignored by people so that sex, gender and sexuality play little part in what roles one can take.
So there will be traditionalists who hew close to the period mores but plenty of women knights and even priests for instance. Also useful to note is that celibacy is not required of priests in the 9th century and indeed most are married.
