Cavaliers of Mars is a swashbuckling roleplaying game and adventure setting from Rose Bailey, longtime developer of Vampire: The Requiem and other World of Darkness titles. Cavaliers draws inspiration from pulp fantasy and historical fiction, adding a modern edge and an exotic setting. Cavaliers of Mars is powered by the DEIMOS system, in which a hero’s motivations and approach to problems strongly influence her chance of success. In combat, heroes face off with their enemies in contests of tactics and chance.

June 2020 Update

– Mon, Jun 29, 2020 at 03:41:06 PM
Hello Cavaliers!
No major updates for this month (we've got that one final reward, and it's close, but not quite across the finish line ), but wanted to make sure I continue my monthly update posts to track all of our rewards and continue to share any info about the project (and other Onyx Path projects) so we're all in the loop.
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
I do want to share this exciting bit of fun! As you may know, Onyx Path hosted a Virtual Gaming Convention earlier this month, featuring interesting panels discussing their processes and projects as well as other relevant topics. You can check out the videos on their Twitch Channel or search #OnxyPathCon on Youtube.
BUT, best of all, they (and their partners at Gehenna Gaming) ran some great Onyx Path games, including Cavaliers of Mars!
Cavaliers of Mars is a swashbuckling adventure setting drawing inspiration from pulp fantasy and historical fiction, adding a modern edge and an exotic setting. Join GM Crystal Mazur and players Jacqueline Bryk, Stephen, and Harry Wyckoff.

FINAL DAYS ON KICKSTARTER
Grab your friends and escape to another world!
You've found anenchanted portal — a transition point — between worlds. The portal, called a Crossing, takes you to a world you thought only existed in novels and films: a magical land where dragons roam the skies, orcs and hobgoblins terrorize weary travelers, and unicorns prance through the forest. It is a world where humans join other peoples such as elves, trolls, dwarves, changelings, and the dreaded creatures who steal the night. It is a world of fantasy — of imagination.

Hello Cavaliers,
Did you know that a Martian month is just over 57 days long? Did you know that, even though it feels like I just posted our April month end update, it's really been an entire Earth month? Time is moving both fast and slow, but let's put that aside and jump right in to our regular monthly status report!
This suit is getting a bit too warm in this weather.

Hello Cavaliers,
We've got one reward still pending, so it's time for another of our monthly status updates! As always, I want to make sure that communication is constant (monthly works!) and consistent (always with the puns and cartoons!) and that we're all on the same page with regards to this project.
Also, I just wanted to say that I hope you're holding up as best possible and remind everyone that they're part of this community that we built in Kickstarter so many months ago. Stay strong, Cavaliers, and let's persevere.
It's indoor shades Wednesday.

Our final reward is in the Post-Editing Development stage, but I think that's being done concurrently with some layout work, so could move pretty quick once they've got that all sorted. I don't know anything specific, just reading the tea leaves in the most recent Onyx Path Monday blog post. So, not quite yet, but hopefully not too too much longer.

NOW ON KICKSTARTER - KNOCKING DOWN STRETCH GOALS
Welcome to the Future
As the third decade of the 21st century dawns, the Technocratic Union stands on the cutting edge of a future imperiled. As science and technology draw humanity closer than ever before, certain factions within the Masses display gross negligence, undermining the Union’s work and endangering the world for shortsighted gains. Despite global telecommunications, new frontiers in virtually every field of study, and an understanding of the universe only dreamed of by earlier generations, humanity faces threats on all sides.
Can You Save It?
Climate change threatens to destroy life as we know it. Religious fundamentalism breeds terror around the globe. Diseases, once eradicated in the developed world through vaccination, have returned due to antivaxxer movements. Totalitarian, nationalist governments rise as the Masses succumb to fear of the other. The world stands on the brink of destruction, and it is up to the agents and operatives of the Technocratic Union to save it…or be its ultimate destruction.
Technocracy Reloaded peels back the curtain and examines the role of the Technocracy in Mage 20th Anniversary Edition. The various Future Fates presented in Mage 20 are examined and this book introduces a few of its own. This book provides a detailed look at life within the Technocracy, expanded information on the Conventions, a wealth of equipment, Adjustments, and Procedures, a breakdown of the various shadow conspiracies and factions within the Technocratic Union, and tips for running your own Technocracy Chronicle.
March 2020 Update

Hello Cavaliers,
It's the end of the month, so time for our regular month end status update, though as I've noted in other posts, there's been nothing "regular" about this past month. Still, I find that it's been beneficial for me to try to maintain some sort of schedule in the middle of this upheaval. So, here we are!
Holdin' it together!
If you're like me, you've found yourself with some extra free-time, which means more time to worry, but also - hopefully - more time to read books, watch movies, stream shows, and play games. If you've already worked your way through your home or digital library and are looking for more ideas, I'm happy to remind everyone that Appendix C in the Cavaliers of Mars core book contains a large list of suggestions. To make it easier, I've attached a copy <HERE>.
