Editing Chivalry & Sorcery (section)

=== Third edition (C&S3) ===
The game was revised and reissued in a Third Edition{{when|date=October 2023}} (dubbed ''The Green Book'', from its color) by Highlander Designs (HD), an American publishing house founded by G. W. Thompson. The authors of the third edition were Ed Simbalist, Wilf Backhaus and G. W. Thompson. ''C&S3'' features the almost complete disappearance of medieval references. The Third Edition removed the integral gritty medieval French historical and cultural background.<ref name="rpg.net">{{Cite web |title=Review of Chivalry and Sorcery 3rd Edition, and Gamemaster'sHandbook - RPGnet RPG Game Index |url=https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/classic/rev_383.phtml |access-date=2023-03-21 |website=www.rpg.net}}</ref> 
 
''C&S3'' established a system of "skills" which covers all areas of the game, including fighting, magic, knowledge of geography, languages, dances and songs, and other things a person is able to do or know. The talent system (called "Skills cape") uses a percentile die and a 10-sided die (D10) for all actions determined by talent; the D10 determines if the success (or failure) of talent is "critical" or not.<ref name="rpg.net"/>

====Reception====
The reviewer from ''[[Pyramid (magazine)|Pyramid]]'' #29 (Jan./Feb., 1998) stated that "It definitely uses some modern production features (though the layout is a bit busy and plagued by typos), but the defining aspects of most '90s games - quick character generation, rules-lightness, storytelling not dice-rolling - aren't a part of this game. Instead, ''C&S3'' recalls the early days of gaming with an emphasis on rules and charts to cover just about any conceivable situation."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/sample.html?id=69|title=Pyramid: Pyramid Pick: Chivalry & Sorcery, Third Edition|website=Sjgames.com|access-date=2020-02-06}}</ref>
