Coriolis – Il Terzo Orizzonte. Manuale di Gioco (ARABESK cover)

The Zenith proclaimed the dawn of a new era… and the Horizon blossomed once more. Three dozen star systems, united by Fate and the will of the Icons, advanced together toward a brighter future. But when the Emissaries arrived, the days of prosperity came to an end, and slowly the Darkness Between the Stars resumed its creeping advance.

Coriolis is a science‑fiction roleplaying game from the creators of the acclaimed Mutant: Year Zero—six‑time nominee and Silver ENnie winner in 2015 for Best Rules—set in a remote cluster of star systems known as the Third Horizon. It is a place scarred by conflict and war, yet home to proud civilizations both old and new. Here, the Firstcome follow the teachings of the Old Cult and worship the Icons, while the newly arrived Zenithians pursue an imperialistic agenda through trade and military might. The Core Rulebook contains everything players and Game Masters need to create their heroes, face the dangers of space, and experience a uniquely grounded and immersive SF setting.

In this game, you are the crew of a spaceship, traveling across the Horizon. You may explore the ancient ruins of the Portal Builders, undertake missions for the powerful factions of the Third Horizon, and take part in the political intrigues on Coriolis Station—the center of power in the Horizon. You may even encounter the strange beings that dwell in the darkness of space.

From the Monolith rising above the jungles of Kua to the floating temples of Mira, the Horizon is yours to explore. You may be traders, explorers, mercenaries, pilgrims, or agents. Whatever your calling, together you will forge your destiny—and perhaps uncover the truth behind the mysterious Emissaries and the threat of the Darkness Between the Stars.
