Lifestyles of Ye Rich and Famous

You are a lord among lords — a mighty baron commanding a company of loyal men sworn to your banner. You’ve cut a red swath to the very pinnacle of medieval society. What now?

Book of the Warlord presents an unprecedented look at the workings of the greater nobility during the tumultuous reign of Uther Pendragon, the Anarchy that follows it, and the rise of Arthur the Boy King. From details on the prime movers at court to rules concerning baronial rights, holdings, armies, liberties, and temptations, it is the definitive guide to living large in the Early Phase of the Great Pendragon Campaign — itself widely hailed as one of the seminal works in the history of roleplaying games.

Players get a streamlined way to manage their enormous holdings, two new courtly solo scenarios, and an all-new mini-game for simulating Graft, that ever-present temptation for those in positions of power. Gamemasters get a ton of never-before-seen maps, an astonishing catalog of over 200 castles, rules for quickly generating warlord Gamemaster characters, and much more.

Made by and for fans of the award-winning King Arthur Pendragon roleplaying game, the must-have Book of the Warlord contains a true treasure trove of material for any medieval or fantasy roleplaying game.

Designed for 5th Edition King Arthur Pendragon. Get the rulebook here.

Why is the only book offered in color? I know it's only some red lettering, but it would be nice to at least have the option to get the other books this way.

Thanks Stewart, my first batch arrived and it looks like more are available in hard copy now. And apologies! To clarify, I meant the 5th / 5.1 editions.

Can't wait for payday now, will have to pick up the rest! :-)

Version 1.2 is the newly correct, updated edition. There's unlikely to be another update for a very long time!

Is this (1.2 version) the 'official one'? Or is it another one (like 1.3?) on the way?

Are you seeking recent KAP books that are available via POD on DTRPG, or do you mean pre-KAP 5.0 books from Chaosium and Green Knight? If you're specifically after WARLORD, then it will be available in print soon. The file was recently updated and we're awaiting a new proof copy before it's re-activated for print sales.

I'm interested in getting hard copies of some of the Pendragon supplements which are currently only available in pdf.

What's the best way to obtain these?

Thanks in advance for your advice :-)

Erik, very sorry that the price is disagreeable. We did add a couple $ because this book prints in color, but even so it would have been $45. The true answer is that WARLORD took many months for Greg and a whole team of assistants to craft and it's simply impossible to create a book like this that bumps other product down the schedule and then not charge something akin to the time the book required to create. A 200-page book of fluff pieces written in 30 days even the best freelancer writer could be less costly, but this book is too dense and took too much time. You may not believe it, but at this price, considering the time this book required, WARLORD is a bargain.

Ok, thanks for takeing the time to reply back. I do understand what you're saying. I am a student these days, and haven't that much of a stable finance to rely on, hence my chagrin. I am gonna buy it, but prefer to take the chance of you and Nocturnal having a sale sometime in the future. Anyway, I do appreciate the fact that these kind of books still are being put together. And at the same time, I also much prefer the 1st edition Pendragon simplicity.

Extremely expensive HB book IMO. Why this price?

over a year later ... did investigation bear fruit? because the full-size preview is "Not found" today.

We tried a few options but everything was inexplicably buggy. I then put this aside for other matters since there hasn't been a big demand for the full-size preview. I'll put it back on the list of to-do's.

thanks for the lightning response! i got the gist from the smaller version (only gets as far as the TOC anyway). no doubt i'll be snapping it up soon enough; already catching up on most of the 5.1 materials.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
