Greetings, all!

KotC2 has a Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1848628223/947609585?ref=8amqiu&token=df2b2dd2)! As of this writing (Feb 12, 2019) it isn't yet live, but it'll be soon enough!

The game's author kindly explained what Knights of the Chalice 2 is(n't) (http://www.heroicfantasygames.com/FWE/Pages/FWE_Features.htm).

The Knights of the Chalice series is a turn-based adaptation of the Open Gaming License (OGL) rules for D&D 3.5. The first KotC stuck fairly close the the rules as written, but KotC2 seems more interested in adapting and expanding them (http://www.heroicfantasygames.com/FWE/Pages/FWE_Title.htm) for the sake of a better game.

I've already offered the author extensive feedback (https://docs.google.com/document/d/19EKjEt-3dKTIQ44DhERmdTYCfOXxG041j0KE7vD1KGg/edit?usp=sharing) regarding many aspects of the game, some of which is slated to be in the final release.

As an aside, Knights of the Chalice (http://www.heroicfantasygames.com/KOTC_Introduction.htm) is soon scheduled to arrive on Steam, GOG, and possibly other PC gaming platforms!

Enjoy!

Nice, I enjoyed the little I played of the first - especially since it was true TTRPG turn-based (like Divinity OS2) as opposed to real-time-with-pause (like Pillars, NWN, and Kingmaker.) So I'm looking forward to this title. I'll check out the backer rewards.

Since then we've had Pathfinder OGL. And now Knights of the Chalice 2, so my question about whether CPRGs based on the OGL are possible or not has been answered. I hope this leads to a golden age of OGL CRPGs. I'd love to see something similar to NWN2, updated with new technology and closer to PnP.
