Coriolis: The Great Dark Core Rules

The star portals are dead. Ship City is dying.

But there is still hope. 

You are Explorers in a dangerous world. You do the work few others will. The enigmatic ruins of the Great Dark are shunned by most, but not by you. You seek them out, to 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 find and mysteries to solve. Ship City is fading, but you and your fellow Explorers can find a way to a better future.

So 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 archaeology, Coriolis: The Great Dark is a roleplaying game about exploration and intrigue. Join dangerous expeditions, navigate the Byzantine schemes of Ship City, and hunt for the keys that unlock the mystery of this Lost Horizon.

With a base in the asteroid metropolis of Ship City, the Explorers will venture into the unknown to discover the truth behind the mysteries of the setting. In this game, the lore is meant to be experienced in play, not by reading up on it beforehand. Taking the roles of experienced ruin delvers, the Explorers will be sent out on dangerous missions to brave the horrors of the Blight and the corrupted creatures and phenomena that are found in the desolate ruins of the ancient Builders.

The rules of the game are based on the acclaimed Year Zero Engine, used in award-winning games such as the ALIEN RPG, Tales From the Loop, and Forbidden Lands, and have been further developed and streamlined for Coriolis: The Great Dark. Making a character and a crew is easy, quick, and flavorful, letting you jump right into the action.
