These volumes are designed to integrate perfectly with one another if you collect them all, or to stand alone if you prefer to pick and choose aspects from the Oldskull campaign that you’re personally intrigued by. If you’re looking for universal and directly compatible old school materials to bridge the original game editions created by Arneson and Gygax (1974-1985), Holmes (1977), Moldvay and Cook (1981), Mentzer (1983-1986), and other luminaries of TSR (1974-1989) into a single refined system, you’ve come to the right place. This second supplement in the series provides a full examination of the labyrinthine rules for cavaliers and paladin-cavaliers, in addition to many other features. You will find six fully realized and refined classes of the knight archetype herein: the chivalric cavalier proper (with fuller, more sympathetic, and fairer rules advocating player free agency), the elven cavalier (complete with stag mounts and bows of course), the drowic cavalier, the paladin (replete with role-playing advice and a detailed coverage of alignment challenges), the anti-paladin Chaos Knight, and the mysterious demon-slaying Knight Templar. All classes have been fully integrated with world mythology, folklore, weird fiction, and detailed campaign notes from the author’s campaign that will bring your knighted characters alive in the World of Oldskull. All of the classes and rules have been reimagined and updated throughout with extensive sagely advice along with out-of-print magazine and newszine errata, supplemented by notes and musings derived from E. Gary Gygax in accordance with his vision for his never-attained Advanced Second Edition. Twenty-four of the new elements and systems you will find herein include: extensive themes and evocative level titles for all classes; clearer and more internally consistent rules for Yeoman and Noble Cavaliers; a rebalancing of strength of will vs. fear and mind attacks; detailed rules for equine and non-equine mounts (including the Templars’ dungeon-prowling war beasts); parrying rules that make sense; pennon of glory advantages; cavalier henchman and squire details by level; errata-driven rules for weapons of choice; clarified lance usage guidelines; more reasonable systems for exemplary and dishonorable armor; elven and dark elven lore templates; the drowic Riding Lizards of Chthon; a fuller and fairer review of chivalry (it’s not mind control, it’s choice); details for Black Knights; more types of warhorses; more barding; the Chaos Knight class; cultural paladins by mythos; paladin aura of protection errata; better rules for palatine warhorses; disease curing clarifications; a Gygaxian treatise on the meaning and play potential of Lawful Good; the Templar class; twenty unique knightly orders for your campaign; and lots and lots of lore from the World of Oldskull. I hope you enjoy this celebration of the old school TSR tradition. Be sure to watch for future volumes in this series which will detail the full array of character classes, new classes and races, adventuring rules, campaign setting details, and much more. Another fine gaming supplement from Kent David Kelly and Wonderland Imprints, Only the Finest Works of Fantasy. (200 pages, 60,000 words.) Sample file P a g e | 9 Sample file P a g e | 10 Chapter II: The Cavalier Class Overview of the Cavalier Class Description: A cavalier is a noble-born knight horseman who follows a code of chivalry. They are martial champions, empowered by deities, archangelic powers, or the light of the sacred will. They are radiant exemplars of honor, valor, terrible wrath, and divine mercy. All such knights begin their lifelong crusade as vanguards of good and righteousness, standing – sometimes alone amongst the slain – against the rising tides of Evil, the Chaos Plague, the King in Yellow, and the imminent Apocalypse. Despite their great power they are mortal men and women, and endless ages of warfare against the maddening dark exact a brutal toll. Those who at last fall prey to darkness either ascend as spirits of glory or rise again as Chaos Knights, empowered by arch-devils, demon lords, Orcus, the Great Old Ones … or worse. As a matter of play style, cavaliers are enjoyed by those players who wish to adopt the role of a flawed hero that others rely on and look to for leadership. But that role comes with a price, because the cavalier’s station endures only through honor and adherence to reverence toward a deific power, a liege lord, an order of knightly brothers and sisters, and fulfillment of exemplary traditions in the name of heroic chivalry.1 Cavaliers of Renown: Famous cavaliers from history in the World of Oldskull include the Knights of the Round Table (although many are more properly deemed paladins or Templars), Edward the Black Prince, the warlord El Cid (Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar of Castile), King Richard the Lionheart, Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, and Sir William Wallace (the Brave-Hearted) of Caledonia. Immortal Cavaliers: While feudal knighthood is primarily a medieval institution, there are earlier martial orders – such as the Cataphracts, the Clibinarii, and Alexander the Great’s Macedonian cavalry – that reveal to us that even from a medieval perspective, the cavaliers have fought and served for nearly two thousand years. Therefore any deity of both war and justice has cavalier aspects of a deific nature.

These two men – Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford – were big fans of science fiction, and in Reiche’s case, fantasy role playing games (especially Dungeons and Dragons). Unsurprisingly, the game had a strong science fiction theme and heavy doses of traditional role-playing elements, wherein the player controlled one of two sides in an effort to either take over the universe as the marauding conquerors of the Ur-Quan Hierarchy, or save the universe as the brave defenders of the Alliance of Free Stars. Star Control effectively interleaved elements of strategy and action; the player tried to outwit the opposing forces in various turn-based inter-planetary strategic scenarios, and subsequently engaged enemy ships in real-time “space melee” one-on-one spaceship dogfights, similar in style to Spacewar, the earliest of video games (Derrenbacker). Many of the sequel’s most interesting elements, such as the unique characteristics of each race’s ships and behaviors, were established in this game and would carry on to Star Control 2. Figures 1a and 1b show some scenes from Star Control, illustrating how advanced some of the graphics from the game were for the time (figure 1a is also an early manifestation of the creators’ sense of humor – the ship shown in the middle of the picture is the flagship of an all-female race of humanoids; the explanation behind the visual is left to the reader’s imagination.).
