Today is International Women's Dayβ€”a fitting date to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Hawkmoon roleplaying game and its lead designer, RPG trailblazer Kerie Campbell-Robson. In 1986, 20 year old Kerie was one of the very first female lead designers in the industry.

The Pendragon: Noble's Handbook is packed with new rules markets, manors, castles, family events, creating Player-ladies, and, of course, horse breeding!
