Free League’s Original Science Fiction RPG Returns! We are thrilled to announce that our science fiction RPG Coriolis: The Great Dark is now live on Kickstarter, an RPG about exploration, mysteries, and intrigue in a Lost Horizon. All backers who pledge levels with physical rewards within the first 24 hours of the launch – i.e. no later than 3 pm CET March 20 – will get a bonus art print of the cover art. If successfully funded, all backers will get the PDF versions of the game months ahead of the official release. A boxed campaign set entitled The Flowers of Algorab is also part of the Kickstarter and delivered alongside the core game. The campaign includes a list of stretch goals, including a full-color map of the Lost Horizon, custom dice, Alchemy Virtual Tabletop Content Module and a soundtrack with ambient music, with more stretch goals on the way. You are an explorer in a dangerous universe. The enigmatic ruins of the Great Dark are shunned by most, but not by you. You seek them out, delve into their shadowy depths and uncover their secrets. The Blight – the cataclysmic scourge that spreads from the ruins – is your beacon. Where there is Blight, there are artifacts to be found. Ship City is dying, but you and your fellow explorers will do whatever it takes to create a better future. Don your delver suit, step aboard a mighty Greatship and venture down the Slipstream towards the unknown. Your creed: explore or perish. Inspired by 19th century expeditions, deep sea diving and pulp archeology, Coriolis: The Great Dark offers you to join dangerous expeditions, navigate the Byzantine schemes of Ship City, and hunt for the keys that unlock the mystery of the Lost Horizon. Coriolis: The Great Dark is the second edition of Coriolis – The Third Horizon, our very first science fiction RPG. The rules have been updated and further developed, the setting is new and advances the timeline of the universe. THE GAME WORLD Coriolis: The Great Dark launches you into a desolate part of space – The Lost Horizon. Here, a fledgling human civilization who fled war tries to stake out a new life in a harsh environment. You live in the meandering asteroid-metropolis of Ship City and you are employed by the Explorers Guild to undertake dangerous expeditions. In Ship City, you will take on missions and investigations to help your guild and build your crew’s reputation with the other major players of the city – the Navigators, the Machinists, and the Gardeners. Delving into the ruins on desolated moons or other star systems in search of resources and artifacts will bring out the best of you and your crew. Together, you will need to overcome physical obstacles, face creatures from the Dark and endure the ubiquitous Blight. YEAR ZERO ENGINE The rules of Coriolis: The Great Dark are based on the latest iteration of acclaimed Year Zero Engine, used in award-winning games such as ALIEN The Roleplaying Game, Blade Runner The Roleplaying Game, Tales From the Loop RPG, and The Walking Dead Universe Roleplaying Game, but specifically tailored for this new game. THIRD PARTY LICENCE As part of the new release, we will create a new free and open license for third party content for Coriolis: The Great Dark.
