  Pendragon (role-playing game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pendragon, or King Arthur Pendragon, is a role-playing game in which players take the role of knights performing chivalric deeds in the tradition of Arthurian legend.
Like several other RPGs from Chaosium (most notably Call of Cthulhu), Pendragon has a literary basis, in this case the fifteenth-century Arthurian romance, Le Morte d'Arthur, and it studiously avoids fantasy RPG cliches in favor of its source material.
Stafford is working on the Great Pendragon Campaign, a massive scenario book which will detail events from Uther's reign in 480 through to the end of the Arthurian era.

 Role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A role-playing game (RPG, often roleplaying game) is a type of game in which the participants assume the roles of characters and collaboratively create stories.
Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines.

 FATE Pendragon
FATE Pendragon is not a one-to-one translation between Pendragon and FATE, unlike, for instance, Andrew Martin's FUDGE Pendragon, which tries to translate Pendragon directly into FUDGE terms.

They are rumored to be the descendents of the mythical dragons of Earthen lore, yet they have evolved into a species all their own: the wit and strength of a canine, the agility and grace of a feline, and the cunning and intelligence of a draco are all theirs to behold and utilize.
The pendragons lay claim to some unimaginable modes of intelligence — they are capable of things such as space travel, scientific discovery, and even sorcery.
It is a carnivorous world, and each pendragon will contribute his or her strengths to any challenges that lay ahead.

 Building Stories, Telling Games
Unlike the thirteen pairs, passions in Pendragon are unopposed — if a character has the passion Love (Lady Amber), then that character doesn't have to have an opposing passion of Hate (Lady Amber).
There are four passions which almost all Pendragon characters will have, due to the nature of the setting and the normal sorts of characters played in it: Loyalty (lord), Love (family), Hospitality, and Honor.
Pendragon stands as an example here, with a very specific list of personality traits, rules which make it clear which personality traits are desirable for characters of different religions and types, and the differentiation between Amor and Love in the setting.

Not a computer game, role-playing games (RPGs for short) are primarily pencil-and-paper games, and playing them combines elements of creative writing with improvisational theatre, such as socializing, storytelling, literature, and acting, all into an interesting, cohesive combination.
RPGs are engaging to the mind, and encourage the creative use of the imagination, which can lead to behavior bordering on the addictive or obsessive in a few individuals.
RPGs have two main parts: the rules system and the genre or game world.

There are many mythic and historic backgrounds I would love to see exploited (and suggested such when ICE rose from the ashes), but aside from a few exceptions (GURPS sourcebooks mostly), they don't seem to do that well.
Also, I think for RPG the world of Arthur is too un-magic as is Middle-Earth to some extend.
