PREFACE
Coriolis was the reason I got back into role-playing games, and key to the
foundation of Free League Publishing. In 2008, when the first edition of the
game was released, I hadn’t played an RPG in over a decade. Coriolis had
everything I had longed for in an sci-fi game – vast space, exciting cultures,
lost wonders and mysteries in abundance. I started playing the game with
some new friends right away. We had tremendous fun, but soon realized
that there wasn’t enough material about the game universe. So a few of us,
enthusiasts, decided to create more material for the game. Thus, the Free
League game studio was born, taking its name from one of the factions in
the Third Horizon.
The Third Horizon is a truly unique RPG setting - a marriage of old ori-
ental tales and modern science fiction. Storytellers, djinni, wide deserts,
magnificent palaces, thieves, and scoundrels mingle with starships, portals
between the stars, and beam weapons. The opportunity to weave your own
stories from the rich tapestry of middle eastern culture fused with concepts
from my favourite modern sci-fi by authors such as Iain M. Banks, Alastair
Reynolds, and Michael Flynn, to mention a few - this was enough to get me
hooked straight away.
When we in the Free League got the opportunity to develop a completely
new edition of the game, the main thing missing was a rules system that
truly fit the setting of Coriolis. The game engine from Mutant: Year Zero,
modified to bring the themes of Coriolis to the forefront, made the difference.
Now, you have a game that incorporates a vivid world and setting with easy
to grasp rules that let you dive into the universe without any hindrance. The
Third Horizon, with its space nomads, rivalling factions, distant star systems,
mischievous djinni, and much, much more, is waiting for you. So don your
exo shells, spit on your sugar globes and start exploring Coriolis.
