I share my review of the fifth edition of the venerable fantasy roleplaying game Chivalry & Sorcery from Britannia Game Designs Ltd. The game offers a fantastical Middle Ages setting aimed at providing a sense of realism to combat, magick, skill use, and more.
Is Chivalry & Sorcery as complex and dense as people say? You’ll find out!
SUMMARY
If you're looking for a crunchy and rather dense rule set for a fantasy roleplaying game Chivalry & Sorcery should be on your radar. The game also provides realistic styled
combat and magick systems too. This is a heavier rule system than I would look to use, and the book could have used better proofreading, but this is still an interesting game and
might be what you're looking for.
