Welcome to Gavwar too..

How about the dreaded ice-breaker?

Who has played/GM'd Coriolis before? Who has done PbP before?

What kind of sci-fi stories do you like?

Hi Dave

So I'm Gavin, we've exchanged a few message on Facebook for a while now. I live in the UK just outside London. Not played or GM'd Coriolis, although I do GM many other games like Call of Cthulhu, The One Ring, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Star Wars and Dread.

I own the Coriolis rulebook etc and I'm desperate to play it.

I've spent many years playing in PbP. But not for the last 2 or 3 years.

Looking forward to this :)

Hey Gavin, only fair I posted too.

This will be my first venture into the Third Horizon, though I have played and GM'd a couple of games, Adventures in Middle Earth being the latest.

I've played WFRP, BattleTech, Cyberpunk and a few other systems online now. With work & family life PbP is just about the only' way I can play.

I really like the feel of Coriolis and am looking forward to building some of that into the game.

On a side note I've backed the new KS for Forbidden Lands too.

So have I !!!

That does look a nice setting. Sort of reminds me a Darksun setting

I like the fact they've put in an OGL so you can put out your own settings or adventure sites.

But, if the system is similar to Coriolis then it is a nice simple but effective one.

To answer your earlier question on Sci fi stories

I like a element of horror and the unknown. Alien and Aliens. Recently watched the Expanse on Netflix which had a fair bit of intrigue and corruption.

Deep Space 9 was always my favourite Star Trek until recently when the new Discovery come out.

Rouge one and Empire Strikes back are my favourite Star Wars films.

I guess i like a story with a dark side to it.....

I'm just watching the Expanse this week as it happens, a few people have said it is good inspiration for Coriolis.

I agree with you on all counts besides the Discovery one.. DS9 still my favourite. But there is still time.

Morning folks. Just thought I'd let everyone know ahead of time that I won't be participating in this campaign. As I mentioned during the voting process I cited my reasons for not wanting to play in a Mercenary group and seeing how that's the choice the majority has made, I feel as though things would not work out well in the long run if I were to involve myself in a game where my my full commitment just isn't there.

I do hope that this game does well and wish everyone the best of luck in making it an exciting and memorable adventure.
