Pendragon
A game of Arthurian romance¸ based on Malory's L'Morte d'Arthur and similar sources. The PC's are knights who will go on quests and journeys¸ but also engage in building families and raising heirs. Campaigns may span generations. The mechanics are roll 1d20 under (skill or attribute)¸ using the roll as level of success (i.e. ""blackjack"" method). Combat is a contest where only the combatant with the higher level of success does damage. It uses a detailed system of personality traits and passions¸ such as Pride/Modesty and many others. Character creation is only knights under the original edition¸ and magic was only done by NPCs. Under the fourth edition¸ the options are expanded. The fifth edition returns to more limited initial character generation¸ and starts in the year 485 (during the reign of King Uther) rather than 531. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H.
