Nice to see a smaller RPG take risks with Arthurian lore instead of just rehashing the usual tropes—hopefully the deep systems make up for the rough edges. Always cool when a board game adaptation actually nails the atmosphere and gives players plenty to sink their teeth into.

Love how Tainted Grail leans into that gritty Arthurian vibe while keeping RPG mechanics satisfyingly deep—feels like a solid indie spin on Skyrim’s formula. Shame about the visuals, but 50+ hours of dark fantasy exploration sounds like a great trade-off.
