Checking to see if there is interest for folks to play Coriolis.
For those unfamiliar:
Coriolis is a space opera style game set in an alternate far future. Best described as Firefly meets 1001 Arabian Nights. Think Firefly but substitute a western/chinese theme with an eastern/arabic theme.
You will be the crew of a mid sized freighter taking on jobs and exploring the universe.

"I’m getting a signal." Dalil’s voice crackled over the com. "We’re close." The navigator gazed into the darkness ahead, his face ghostly pale in the cold glow from the tabula in his hands.
Radwa nodded silently for her comrades to advance, approaching the strange ruins in the moonscape. The only sound they could hear was their own breathing through the air filters, and the soft crunch under their boots.The floodlights from the freighter Narzalus behind them cast long shadows of the trio.
"Something is wrong, boss." The sharp voice of Jhara broke the silence. Her vulcan rifle hummed as the tall woman from Sadaal activated her weapon. Without turning, Radwa raised her hand to still her friend.
"Easy, Jha," she whispered over the com.
The explorers shone their suit-mounted flashlights over the ruins. Alien signs were carved into the smooth dark surfaces. In the light, they seemed to be glowing.
Something slowly unraveled before them. A darkness rose from the surface of the dead moon, reaching towards the starry sky above them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mechanics:
Coriolis is a skill based system using only D6 dice. You describe what you want to do, and if the need presents itself, make a skill check to determine the extent of your success. Only 6's are successes, but the number of 6's you roll will determine the level of success and can trigger other effects for yourself or your crew.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
About This Game:
This is an introductory game called "The last voyage of the Ghazali". It is fairly short but, if the players want to continue there is plenty of open space out there to explore.
I would be looking for 5 players to form a crew and explore the stars ... and the Dark between them.
If this sounds interesting take a look at the quick start guide to give yourself a feel for the game. There are pre-gen characters in the back as well as a short adventure you can look at to get a feel for the setting. Don't worry, we won't be playing that particular adventure.
