I own the Chaosium boxed set of this from back in the mid 80's, you can see it's influence from it's Basic RPG roots, but there is much more to Pendragon than this. Campaigns span generations, which is probably why I could never get the old high school / college group to play in more than a session or two - there was too much going on for them.
As I recall, it's a fairly simple system with great depths of roleplaying potential. In the hands of the right gaming group, there are literally years of gaming potential here.
I'm going to pick King Arthur Pendragon up just to read it and maybe, just maybe, get to play in a campaign down the road.
The Great Pendragon Campaign is one of the most amazing supplements ever, just a wealth of plots, scenarios and ideas covering the entire Arthur saga and then some. I consider myself very lucky to own it in hardcover.
