Coriolis: Emissary Lost Available Today

Coriolis: Emissary Lost Available Today

, , , , , , 0

Today is the day Free League Publishing and Paradox Interactive planned for when they launched their Kickstarter campaign one year ago. The goal: fund an expansion to their award-winning taletop game Coriolis: The Third Horizon. The campaign was a success and as of today, the expansion is real. Officially titled Mercy of the Icons, it will be released in three parts — and the first of these, Emissary Lost, is coming by the end of this month. In Emissary Lost, the player characters are thrown into the vast conspiracy that threatens the stability of Coriolis, and in the end, the Third Horizon itself. The book contains two long-form scenarios. The first scenario takes place on the huge space station Coriolis itself, where attacks on the mystics are escalating. The player characters need to find out who is behind the conspiracy – and not get killed in the process. The hunt for clues will bring them to the bustling Ozone Plaza, to the decadent elite in the Spire, and deep down

Free League Publishing has some ambitious plans for the tabletop gaming market this year. They shared the list with us this afternoon, and while there are no brand-new titles revealed, what is on the way is still great. The first entry is Things from The Flood, the long-awaited sequel to Tales From The Loop, which Free League swears will see release in 2019. When we have a precise release date, we’ll pass it along. The Things from the Flood RPG thrusts the Tales universe into a grim alternate 1990s. Step into the shoes of a teenager growing up in a decade of change – and disaster. Still, your life goes on as before. You go to school, fall miserably in love and try to fend of boredom. But when teens start to go missing, you and your friends decide to solve the mystery. Following Things from The Flood will be Crusader Kings: The Board Game. The original promise on the Kickstarter was for a November 2018 release….it’s slipped a bit,

The crowdfunding campaign for Mutant: Elysium is humming along nicely, having now earned over $75,000 in US dollars (the initial goal was $11,000). With two weeks to go, Free League Publishing has revealed a new and enticing stretch goal: a second campaign! That’s correct, if Elysium does even better than it’s doing now, pledgers will get two books for the price of one. The additional campaign is called The Grey Death, and it will be available in PDF or hardcover form — if the goal is met, that is. The book is Goal 9, and Goal 6 has yet to be unlocked. Mutant: Elysium is the third Mutant expansion, and the fourth Mutant game if they’re counted separately, with electrifying art by sci-fi artists Simon Stålenhag and Reine Rosenberg. While it’s intended to connect to the main game, it can also be played separately as its own experience. In Elysium I, the Houses turn on each other and enclave workers begin to question their masters. After a violent confrontation, the

The world of Mutant: Year Zero continues to grow. Free League Publishing has another expansion for its tabletop RPG in the works, and it’s about to launch the crowdfunding campaign. MUTANT: ELYSIUM tells the story of the final survivors of the end of the world. In the huge underground enclave Elysium I, four powerful Houses struggle for supremacy, oblivious to the looming threat that could bring humanity’s last bastion on Earth to its final downfall. We’re told that while Mutant Elysium is intended as an expansion for Mutant: Year Zero, it can be played by itself as a standalone game. It will mark the third Mutant expansion, and the fourth Mutant game if they’re counted separately. Sci-fi artists Simon Stålenhag and Reine Rosenberg will once again handle the illustrations. We will have more info for you next week when the Mutant: Elysium campaign launches on Kickstarter. In the meantime, here are some critics’ quotes about Mutant that Free League wanted to share…. “Mutant: Year Zero is an exceptional roleplaying game,

Crusader Kings Makes Its Public Premiere At SPIEL 18

Last summer, Free League Publishing launched a crowdfunding campaign for a board game version of PC strategy title Crusader Kings. The campaign was a success, the money has exchanged hands, and the game itself is nearly ready to show off. Today Free League announced Crusader Kings would make its world public debut at SPIEL 18 in Essen, Germany. The game’s not quite ready to buy just yet. But there will be a hands-on demo; the first of its kind. Some lucky Germans will be the first in the world to try Crusader Kings out. A strategy board game set in Medieval Europe, Crusader Kings is all about power: the struggle to obtain it, rip it from someone else, and keep it from someone else trying to rip it from you. Gameplay is quite involved and includes just about everything you’ve seen on Game of Thrones. “To win, you will need to groom your family, build mighty castles, develop your dominion, be shrewd in the realm of diplomacy and intrigue, and

Things from The Flood Earns Over $400,000 On Kickstarter

The crowdfunding campaign for Free League Publishing’s Things From The Flood was a rousing success. After asking for just 100,000 in Swedish krona, the campaign wound up earning 4,249,903 krona, which translates to $467,683.13 in US currency — almost half a million dollars. 22 stretch goals were unlocked over the course of the campaign, adding items like a new dice set, a GM screen, a printed mystery book, a mystery generator, and several additional mysteries by esteemed game writers like Nils Hintze and Rickard Antroia. Things from The Flood is an expansion pack for the award-winning Tales from The Loop, the RPG that takes Simon Stålenhag’s stirring retro monster art and creates a tabletop narrative around it. The game was enough of a success that Amazon bought the rights to develop a potential TV series. Unsurprisingly, more is on the way. Things From The Flood adapts another one of Stålenhag’s art books and brings back the characters from the first. Now they’re teenagers in the 1990s…what will happen to them

Free League Publishing Gets Bigger With Merger

Free League Publishing Gets Bigger With Merger

, , , , , 0

In the past we’ve written about several products produced by Swedish tabletop RPG makers Free League Publishing. In the future we’ll be writing about a lot more of them, as they’ve just announced a merger with competing company Järnringen. Järnringen is actually made up of former Free League employees — now current Free League employees again. The merger brings in Järnringen’s properties (chiefly fantasy RPG Symbaroum) under the Free League umbrella, which already includes RPGs like Mutant: Year Zero, Coriolis – The Third Horizon, and Tales from the Loop. The merged company will retain the Free League Publishing name. “There are many benefits of this merger,” say’s Järnringen co-founder Mattias Johnsson Haake. “But of course, the idea of working on Mutant and Coriolis again is especially appealing. Coriolis was created by us, and is in a way like a child we never got to see grow up. Mutant also has a special place in our hearts.” “We’re very happy that the merger is finally happening,” says Free League co-founder Tomas
