This is undoubtedly one of the most impressive pieces of work in TTRPG. This was a amassive endeavor that scripts out a setting that works wonderfully with the mechanics of KAP. The book covers the reign of Uther and Arthur Pendragon on a year by year basis while providing events, adventures, and news. The book runs smoothly and having played through to the coronation of Arthur once and now on another play through, hopefully going to finish the whole thing, but we're only on 504 after 4 months, I can confirm that it was definitely worth the price. If you're questioning whether to buy the hardcopy or the PDF, I would recommend the hardcopy. I keep it open underneath a mound of papers for every session so that I can reference they year's events. While being undoubtedly a 5 star product for shear scope of content alone, there are some improvements I'd like to see. The maps and name references, of which there are many, do not line up with the names in the Book of Warlords or later supplements. This is confusing for the players and me, and honestly, I prefer the GPC names. The other big one is that I would like to see another Appendix with all of the Knights of the Round Table that are named with their birth date, induction to the Table Round, and their death date. This would be tremendously helpful. And while we're on it, it would be nice to see Gareth included in the yearly events. His absence is pretty jarring to those of us who've read anything of Arthurian literature and it would make his death at Lancelot's hands more meaningful.
