Cavaliers and Coilguns! is an analog adventure game about heroes fighting for justice in a world of swords, sorcery, and forgotten science. There are chases over desert dunes, duels fought with sabre and laser lance, delves into the ruins of forgotten spacecraft, and the creeping influence of cruel warlords and despots.

Swords & Sorcery Science Fantasy is a genre I deeply enjoy, thanks for this! This game does something most major games forget to do, which is describe the core adjudication loop - Intent + Task is so, so, so important to that loop and is explained neatly here.

I love the addition of the gambling for advantage mechanic, it's neat and elegant and super evocative of the source material.

The inclusion of numerous examples throughout the text is also super useful, and you've got advice and procedure for session 0, which is great!

I'm also a big fan of the advancement mechanic, I think it's neat and kitbashable as all hell.
