    Coriolis - "Firefly meets Arabian Nights" (Kickstarter)

    Coriolis - The Third Horizon RPG

    Firefly meets Arabian Nights in this unique sci-fi RPG. Crew a starship and explore the ancient mysteries of The Third Horizon!

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ye/description


    The Coriolis RPG is a Swedish roleplaying game that is now in Kickstarter (last three days!) to have an English translation edition published.

    We reached funding for the basic book in the first hour or two and blew through 12 stretch goals in the first day! The core book will be hardback and full-color with amazing art...samples of which can be found throughout the KS page and the updates on Kickstarter.

    The rule system is based on the award-winning Mutant Year Zero rules with tweaks for the genre and focus of Coriolis.

    In the updates you can find links to Q&A with the creators as well as early, unedited, preview chapters to get an idea of the book's layout.

    There are also a couple of limited edition cover pledges...Icon & The Darkness. They are going fast, so hurry and jump on while you can.

    The community in the comments section is fun and welcoming. Drop by if you have ANY questions!

    Let me leave you with the synopsis of the project from the creators:

    Coriolis is a science fiction role playing game set in a remote cluster of star systems called The Third Horizon. It is a place ravaged by conflicts and war, but also home to proud civilizations, both new and old. Here, the so called First Come colonists of old worship the Icons, while the newly arrived Zenithians pursue an aggressive imperialistic agenda through trade and military power.

    In this game, you will crew a space ship and travel the Horizon. You will explore the ancient ruins of the Portal Builders, undertake missions for the powerful factions and partake in the game of political intrigue on Coriolis station - the center of power in the Third Horizon. You might even encounter strange beings from the dark between the stars.

    From the Monolith in the jungles of Kua to the floating temples of Mira, the Horizon is yours to explore. You can be traders, explorers, mercenaries, pilgrims or agents. Whatever your calling is, together you will make your own fate. In the end you might even discover the truth about the mysterious Emissaries and the threat of the dark between the stars.

    This kickstarter is just the beginning. Going forward, we will release a range of supplements to the game, from atlases to the grand campaign that tells the sweeping story of The Horizon: The Mercy of the Icons.

    We expect to release Coriolis - The Third Horizon in December of this year. All artwork is done, translation is under way and layout has just started. All we need to proceed is the funds to print and ship the game.

    Wow...another stretch goal is passed as we travel the Third Horizon of the Coriolis RPG together!

    We have just added the Star System Odacon to the Atlas Compendium that all Backers at Space Nomad and above get in PDF...and all Backers at Dignitary and above get in a printed book!

    Next stop...another Scenario Location: Portal Station Hamurabi...and the introduction to it sounds...worrisome and evocative!

    We're at 56 hours left in the voyage of this Kickstarter.

    1425 souls are onboard...and more crew is being taken on constantly.

    Of the limited edition cover pledge levels:

    If you're in the UK - there's one LAST Icon pledge level open at this time.

    For everyone - there're only 140 The Darkness pledge levels left right now. There were 200 just a day and a half ago...and the 48 hour warning is getting ready to hit. Just FYI.

          Things exploded in the Coriolis KS with the 48 hour warning!

          We have surpassed the last stretch goal which gives everyone at the Dignitary and above pledge level a physical GM screen...no additional cost to the Backer!

          There are still 29 hours left in the KS if you've been considering jumping in. As the update and creators have said...there are no more planned stretch goals for this project, we blew through EVERYTHING. So this post isn't me trying to twist arms to bulk up the numbers for selfish reasons. I just really feel like it's a worthwhile product to share.

            This is it...the last nine hours of the Coriolis - The Third Horizon RPG Kickstarter!

            It's been a wild ride and we've blown through EVERY stretch goal to bulk up the core book, add a second Atlas Compendium, a dual-sided poster map of the Third Horizon & Coriolis Station, a deck of Icon cards, and a GM Screen. That doesn't even count a novella and five other PDF only (for now) stretch goals!

            At this time, all of the Icon Limited Edition book pledges have been claimed and there are only 105 Darkness Limited Edition book pledges left.

            If you've been looking for a human-centric, sci-fi RPG with an unusual setting, come check out Coriolis and begin your adventures in the Third Horizon!
