Pendragon Book Of Sires Pdf May 2026

The core feature of the Book of Sires is the extensive Event Tables used during Character Creation. In standard Pendragon, you might simply roll for your father's statistics. In the Book of Sires, you roll to determine the specific drama that defined your father's life—and your inheritance.

How it works: Instead of a generic history, players roll on the Father’s Event Table (which varies based on the father’s culture and the current era of the campaign). These events provide specific mechanical bonuses and narrative hooks.

Chaosium has announced a new edition of King Arthur Pendragon (6th edition), currently in crowdfunding and early release phases. The developers have confirmed that a Book of Sires equivalent—possibly titled Sires & Lineages—is planned as a future supplement. This will be available as a legal PDF.

Timeline: Likely 2026–2027.

Our recommendation: Respect the license. Seek used physical copies, buy legal substitutes, and wait for the 6th edition. If you must use a fan scan for your private table, do not share it or host it publicly.
