If you're a fan of roleplaying games, specifically pen-and-paper D&D, then you need to play Knights of the Chalice. Its old-school graphics aside, it's one of the best renditions of 3rd edition D&D I've ever played on PC.
I just received an email that the developer is finally about to launch their Kickstarter for the sequel, which has been in development for years. I just wanted to help spread the word (and I'm in no way affiliated with the development team).
If you want to try out the first Knights of the Chalice or get info on the sequel, here is the link to their website: http://heroicfantasygames.com/
Here is the email I received from them with all pertinent information (full list of gameplay features located at the bottom of the email):

Dear RPG lovers, video game news providers and influencers, and close friends,
I hope you're well. This is just a short email to announce the planned launch of the Knights of the Chalice 2 Kickstarter fundraising campaign on Tuesday 26 May 2020 at 7am US Central time (2 pm Paris / Berlin time). The campaign is expected to end on Thursday 2 July at 7am Central time.
To help spread awareness, I have just uploaded a new video on Youtube. Please click here to watch this announcement video.
I have finished work on all of the Kickstarter updates that I wanted to prepare, so there is no reason to delay any further. The Kickstarter video can be found at
, the project's URL is https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1848628223/knights-of-the-chalice-2-revolutionise-old-school-crpgs and you can also visit the project's preview page.
Knights of the Chalice 2 is a party-based computer role-playing game with turn-based combat for Windows and Mac OS. Just like the first game, KotC 2 uses the OGL 3.5, the ruleset at the root of Dungeons and Dragons 3.5.
The Kickstarter campaign will support the creation of future KotC 2 adventure modules. The first KotC 2 adventure module, Augury of Chaos, and the KotC 2 module and campaign editor for Windows and Mac OS will be released to backers as soon as the campaign ends. In KotC 2: Augury of Chaos, your Heroic Party confronts a group of Evil Fanatics allied with various Demons and Fiendish Dragons. Following the Kickstarter, the game is planned to be released on the developer's website, http://www.heroicfantasygames.com, and on Steam after a relatively short period dedicated to the improvement of the game.
I'm counting on you to spread the word so that we can give the campaign the best possible start it can have.
A Reddit Ask Me Anything session is planned on 11 June using my Reddit username HeroicFantasyGames.
As part of the campaign, a series of puzzles will be posted on Twitter. You may want to try resolving them all! Please see the KotC 2 Kickstarter FAQ page for more details.
I will also be posting a number of real-life travel pictures and videos on Youtube, Instagram and the Facebook page.
Thank you so much everyone for supporting this project that I am so passionate about!
Special thanks to Owlcat Games for their gracious support of the KotC 2 Kickstarter! Please be sure to check out Pathfinder: Kingmaker and their new RPG Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. You can pre-order Wrath of the Righteous at this web address: https://wrath.owlcatgames.com/preorder
Special thanks also to both RPG Codex and RPG Watch for the great support they will provide to the KotC 2 Kickstarter, as well as their steadfast support of KotC 1 and other independent RPGs! Much appreciated!
PS. I submitted KotC 1 to GOG.com on 29 December 2019 and I've had no reply from them so far, so players who would really like to see KotC 1 on GOG might want to email GOG in support of KotC 1. Thank you!

KotC 2 Features:
- Turn-based, party-based tactical combat similar to that found in the old Dark Sun Shattered Lands game made by SSI and in Troika's Temple of Elemental Evil.
- User-friendly interface. Launch a charge, full-attack or coup-de-grace with a single click - the computer will automatically look for the best option available. Out of combat, move the party with a single click or by keeping the mouse button pushed. Also see the KotC 1 How to Play webpage for more information.
- A well-developed emergent Artificial Intelligence. Enemies act as a group and support each other. They can use special actions like Grapple, Trip, Ready Versus Spell or Swallow Whole and tactics like taking a Five-Foot step before casting Maximised Fireball. They might use a Wind spell to dissipate the player's Acid Fog or Incendiary Cloud.
- Omnipresent help files and clear in-game feedback (a feature also found in Temple of Elemental Evil) on the results of each dice roll, saving throw, attack roll, modifiers and so on.
- More than 700 Spells and Psionic Powers (see the list of Wizard spells). The game also features 22 Classes, 10 Races, 36 Subraces, 478 Feats, 41 Cleric Domains, 71 Weapon enchantments and 51 Armour and Shield enchantments. Click here for more information about the Classes, Feats and other topics.
- With the right materials and sufficient gold and experience points, craft your own weapons and armour and apply enchantments like Vorpal, Life Stealing, Wounding, Swift, Dispelling or Flaming Burst (see the complete list).
- Multiple-choice dialogue options offering real choices and real in-game consequences to the player. Use your party's unique skills and consider your own preferences and playing style in order to resolve situations in the most suitable manner.
- Enjoy a variety of engrossing puzzles and riddles. Use your intuition and logical thinking to decrypt mysterious coded messages. The game's cryptography interface, inspired by Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars, makes decoding a captivating activity. Do not worry about the difficulty of puzzles and riddles though, as the game frequently provides Hints designed to help you resolve this type of challenge.
- KotC 2 Augury of Chaos allows you to create your level-1 characters and take them all the way to level 21 or so. There is no limit on character level.
- Use the powerful integrated toolset to create new modules and campaigns easily. Easily swap monster tokens and sprites or create new ones. Create new monsters, new dialogues and new maps easily.
- Enjoy fast Saved-Game loading and saving and various game options designed to accelerate gameplay. Enjoy various convenience features, such as the Saved-Game preview image display, Tab key press to highlight objects that may be interacted with, or the Inventory Screen highlighting of spell scrolls that may be learned by a character.
