What the Critics Say
"As much as Prince Valiant: The Storytelling Game is Greg Stafford’s second approach to Arthurian, chivalric roleplaying [after King Arthur Pendragon], it is also his love letter to Hal Foster and Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur. It is a lovely treatment of the source and this is so much better reflected in the beautiful new presentation of the second edition… the perfect introduction to Arthurian roleplaying."—Reviews from R’lyeh.
