I've been tinkering with some mounted combat rules for Shadowdark RPG, and I thought I'd share them with you all. I know Shadowdark is all about keeping things simple and flavourful, so I tried to stick to that vibe while adding a bit more depth to horseback adventures.

I'm working on expanding this into a larger supplement with foraging and camp rules too. So if you give it a read, I'd love to hear your thoughts! What works? What doesn't? What would you add?
