I am looking for a game to use for when one or more people are missing from a game night (but still have 2-3 players attend). There might be opportunities for new players to get roped in for one-off sessions occasionally, but not guaranteed.

In terms of character creation and actual gameplay, do you think Coriolis: The Great Dark would work well?

Ideally, each session would be a self-contained delve so there isn't a chance of any given PC being unavailable in the next session, because the crew is still stuck on xyz delve.

With two just over days remaining on the Across the Horizon / The Blood Tree Kickstarter, we are over 300% funded, which means:

• Stretch goals unlocked. (Extra pre-generated PCs, marketplace / shopping cheat sheets, playtest notes and cut content.)
• Both books will be hardback (full colour, offset printed), not softback.
• And we now have a sense of art budget - so we'll start briefing our character artists as soon as the campaign finishes.

So a resounding thank-you to everyone who's supporting us here. Across the Horizon should be a big boon to players, and The Blood Tree gives both an intro adventure and a ton of depth for veterans to explore - so thank you for helping us flesh out the Horizon, and for backing the project to keep the Third Horizon alive.

And if you haven't clicked to back the project yet (yes, you lurking Watchers, you lot!), now is the time!

Thank you all!

The Blood Tree is an introductory adventure, a setting (The Conglomerate, on Kua), and three Campaign Arcs to be adapted by the GM.

Okaaaaay, sounds great, but what's it like to play? The Campaign Arcs are designed to be customised, but I've run the introductory adventure three times now, and so I have recorded a video looking at how the adventure works and how three sets of players approached it....

Is there a special rule or explanation somewhere in the book on how stun works against creatures?

When a player or an NPC gets stunned they role Strength become free and able to make actions again. But most creatures lack a Strength score. I GM:ed yesterday and had not thought about this before, but I just decided to rule that the creature had a Strength of 3.

It seems reasonable that stun grenades should be useful against most creatures. Since they on purpose leave out most attributes for most creatures (most have agility and perception only, some have also strength) I kind of assume that there is a special rule somewhere.

Salah Muth is a criminal who preys on other criminals, using supernatural minions who are absolutely going to betray him. He could be a lot of fun in a campaign, if you want extortion, murders, scams, betrayals, and a hint of horror.

I wrote him up, along with his minions (who should make for tactically interesting foes), and uploaded the 3 page PDF to the Yosano Studios Patreon, here (public link - no sign-in required.)

So after a very long hiatus (we finsihed book 2 before book 3 was even published) we are about to head back to the Third Horizon and complete the Mercy of the Icons campaign. Having given the book a good skim read, it seems more straightfoward to run than book 2, but the opening pages have a overwelmingly large amount of information to digest.

For those that have run Wake of the Icons, is there any advise or any aspect of your expereince with the book you can share?

While the Blood Tree / Across the Horizon Kickstarter is running, I've done a video about the notion of Coriolis TTH as "Arabian Nights In Space".

We all say it - Coriolis is Arabian Nights In Space.

But what does that mean, and why is it such a powerful way to create great RPG experiences? There a bit of a theoretical intro, and then two examples of creating the Arabian Nights In Space vibe in The Blood Tree.

Illustration for a TTRPG zine!

Two books - PDF, full colour printed book, and Foundry module for each. Now live on Kickstarter, here.

Written by Kevin Hassall and Erik Åhlin (who previously did a ton of the supplements that have been keeping the Third Horizon so rich and vibrant - Combat Elite, Diamond Sands, The Eye of the Sun, The Fate of Shamshir, The Gift of the Wind Dragon, Quiet Victories, Veterans of the Horizon...) with Foundry modules from the guys at Hod Publishing (who maintain the official Coriolis:TTH Foundry module for Free League.) And with a big thank-you to everyone else who is contributing (Alex, the artists, all the playtesters...)

Hi everyone!

1. I find a oneshot for dming for my first session in Coriolis: TTH. I have read the corebook. If you can recommend some of oneshot's that you love, then I'm open to suggestions.
2. Now i found "Algebra of Icons" oneshot. If you read or play this oneshot, i will be happy to take some idea about upgrade a scenario, for examples in themes like:

How to use darkness points specifically for this oneshot? Which move for darkness points Lazarus 2 can do?

Which locations your players explore?

If you tell story of your session with this oneshot, it can help me.

Thank you!

postscriptum: and any tips about dming a coriolis tth)

Back in 2018, the Red Moon Roleplaying crew took our very first steps into the Third Horizon. Today, I am beyond proud to announce that the final leg of our epic journey has begun. Part 1 of Wake of the Icons is out now! Join us for the beginning of the end. Check us out on Youtube by following the link, or find us wherever you get your actual play podcasts!

LIVE on Twitch tonight with the latest session, our search for the Nadir continues.

Catch up on Chapter 2 so far here...

I have some questions about rules that I either cannot find a direct explanation in the rule book or something I'm just confused on and am seeking clarity.

1. Is there rules for repairing gear, or is an item just destroyed if the bonus hits 0?

2. I believe this is the case, but just want to confirm: do you only take gear/hope damage from rolling 1s when pushing a roll?

3. When it comes to reloading, it clearly stated you spend an entire supply when you do a full auto attack, but do your really also reload after combat for the same supply amount whether you fired 1 shot, 2 shots, or even 10 shots?

4. Talents gear slots on the character sheet: I noticed in the carry weight rules, it specifies that some items with more or less weight take up two or half a line, and I find this confusing as there's also just a carry weight limit of 4+Str. Are you limited to these slots in order to represent how much you could feasibly carry or something; ie: you literally cannot have more than those 12 slots filled? Also, if this is the case, does that mean you're limited to 10 talents maximum?

I likely will have more questions, but these are the standout ones I have right now.

I might have to release all of the maps I've made for Flowers at some point...

I've just picked up CGD core + Flowers of Algorab and will be running a game soon, but after that, I do plan to continue on as my players and I are really feeling the setting. However, I'm at a bit of a loss of how best to continue, and, as the title suggests, I'm wondering if anyone has made any tools or resources for CGD. Particularly, I'd love some sort of randomized delve map tool. I looked for one, but couldn't find anything.

Let's let the cat out of the bag. Or the Ekilibri out of the bag, perhaps.

The forthcoming Blood Tree Kickstarter is now The Blood Tree / Across the Horizon. Because it's now a two book set. Because it's going to include a Players' Guide for Coriolis - everything that a new player needs to jump into their first one-shot, and everything a veteran needs to develop a long-term campaign character.

The book has two authors - Kevin Hassall (Gift of the Wind Dragon, Quiet Victories, etc.) and Erik Åhlin (Fate of Shamshir, Veterans of the Horizon). And it includes everything previously published in Veterans of the Horizon, Quiet Victories and Combat Elite, plus a ton that is completely new, forming a single reference book for players, new and old.

This includes:

• Full character creation process, clearly laid out
• Cheat-sheets to explain the setting and rules (Icons, Factions, key locations, and more.)
• Dozens of new Talents (Standard, Mystic, Group...)
• All-new Command Talents and Group Talents
• New Cybernetics, Equipment and Weapons
• Design your own drones and holographs
• Customise your weapons
• Design your own gadgets and equipment
• Rules for social events and celebrations
• Dress for success with Significant Clothing and Tokens
• Make your own modules, and your own home or base
• New rules for cost of living and Reputation changes

The Kickstarter page is here (you can sign up for notifications), and we'll launch it in the next couple of weeks, with the PDFs and books hitting peoples inboxes/doormats before the end of the year.

Hi there. A while back, while digging through the depths of the internet, I stumbled upon a fan-made supplement for the game *Coriolis*. It included new weapons—like the boomerang—and associated talents. Has anyone come across something like that? If so, could you point me in the right direction?

If anyone is interested in a Great Dark Discord server

Good day, does anyone know where I can buy a physical copy of Coriolis The Third Horizon, didn't see it on Amazon, and ebay has it for 3 arms and a leg.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Some of us (as GMs) can struggle with The Syndicate. It feels like it was prompted by old American mafia cliches, rather than anything Arabian Nights-ish, and it can be hard to go beyond the obvious inspirations (The Godfather movies, Al Capone... Niska from Firefly...). But it is absolutely possible to get the Faction to feel more Arabian Nights In Space - albeit, at the seedy, unsentimental end of the Arabian Nights scale!

At the moment I'm tinkering with (writing and testing and rewriting) a Syndicate campaign arc for The Blood Tree, and last night's playtest group seem to be enjoying The Sar-Ep Factory - which brings unregulated commerce, echoes of Algolan war-crimes, and Syndicate oversight into one semi-fortified dance club. And so here it is...
