The Knight Errant

A dead planet, a forsaken knight, and a group of stranded spacefarers... 

Earth is dead, once radiant with heroes and villains, gods and monsters, myth and magic. Then the Horror from Beyond fell upon it, a baleful thing of void-born malice. Now ghouls prowl the blasted wastes and decaying ruins, seeking their absent master. The Knight Errant alone defied that cosmic pestilence. He shackled the Horror within his own flesh, becoming both prison and prisoner. 

Centuries later, he endures, frozen in his sanctum, a sentinel damned to eternity. Far across the gulfs of space, the scattered progeny of Earth raised civilizations of metal and science, trading magic for machines. Yet the old world lingers in legend, attracting spacefarers and outcasts. 

But a few, burdened by mischance, are cast down upon this necrotic sphere, stranded in the shadow of forgotten ruin, where only peril promises reward. 

The Knight Errant is a science fantasy adventure for 3-5 players and one game master, inspired by the works of Weird Fiction authors such as Clark Ashton Smith, H. P. Lovecraft, Jack Vance, and Michael Moorcock. The Knight Errant is intended to be played as an old-school style module, encouraging players to use critical thinking and careful exploration in order for the characters to succeed and make it out alive. 

Features:

• A necrotic wasteland with five locations and a nine-room dungeon for a short campaign, drawn in isometric style!
