Ready for some UK Bank Holiday Coriolis in the games room. I’m running ‘The Dying Ship’ scenario. It’s been such fun diving back into the game over the past few days, and there’s no better reason than to get it out onto the table.

We had a great game. Coriolis drank my printer dry. Seriously. I need to find a way to get some propage on the table without sucking the life force out of my ink jet printers…
The Dying Ship scenario comes with pregens and handouts to smooth in the prep, with some card printed name tags using the right hand part of the colourful character sheets. These sheets are not functional enough for actual play, so I took the quickstarter version of the same characters and printed out the actual character sheets with equipment stats, stat and skill lists, relationship ‘buddies’ and other essentials.
Soundtrack was the official Coriolis music, though I didn’t major on it in play. I have small skulls as counters for the Dark Points that deliciously ebbed and flowed throughout the game.
We played for just over an hour for Act 1, broke for lunch, and returned for another few hours to round off. A good introduction to the setting, with considerable interaction and freeform roleplay amongst the tense scenes in the adventure. Forgot how simple and playable the system is.
Thanks to Pete, Paul, Sonia and Andy for coming over to play.
Thumbs up. Tempted to offer the upcoming campaign to our weekly group.
