Free League Publishing has officially lifted the veil on The Flowers of Algorab, the first full expansion for its science-fiction tabletop RPG Coriolis: The Great Dark. Announced this week, the boxed campaign is now available for pre-order via the Free League webshop, with an immediate complimentary PDF included ahead of its full release on February 3, 2026.
Designed as a complete campaign experience, The Flowers of Algorab expands the mysterious frontier of the Lost Horizon, offering new locations, storylines, and tools for both players and Game Masters.
A Boxed Campaign of Exploration, Mystery, and Loss
At the heart of The Flowers of Algorab is a haunting mystery. The campaign begins with the death of a legendary ruin delver and the sudden disappearance of a strange stone tablet—an event that sets off a chain reaction deep within Ship City.
From there, Explorers are drawn into dangerous expeditions along the Hammurabi Arm, uncovering long-lost secrets, navigating political tensions, and confronting the unknown forces shaping the future of the Lost Horizon. The expansion is built to guide groups through a full narrative arc, while still leaving room for emergent storytelling.
What’s Included in The Flowers of Algorab Box Set
Free League has packed The Flowers of Algorab with premium physical and gameplay components, reinforcing its position as a flagship expansion for Coriolis: The Great Dark. The boxed set includes:
- A campaign book detailing characters, factions, locations, and overarching plot threads
- An expedition booklet with player-facing information on Greatships and the Hammurabi Arm
- A large full-color map of the Lost Horizon and Ship City
- A detailed map of the Charted Sphere
- Delve maps and immersive handouts
- Blueprints of the Greatships Akhander and Rigel
- Blueprints of a Grasshopper shuttle and Rhino rover
- Nine base dice and three gear dice
- A deck of custom cards for initiative, gear, and discoveries

Together, these elements deepen immersion and provide Game Masters with everything needed to run an extended campaign straight out of the box.
Expanding the World of Coriolis: The Great Dark
Coriolis: The Great Dark is Free League Publishing’s exploration-focused sci-fi RPG, set in a remote and dangerous region of space known as the Lost Horizon. Players take on the role of Explorers operating out of Ship City, a colossal asteroid settlement teetering on collapse.
Life in Ship City is shaped by rival factions, political intrigue, and dwindling resources. Beyond its hull lies the true danger: ancient ruins scattered across distant moons and star systems, where artifacts, forgotten histories, and the ever-present Blight await.
The Flowers of Algorab builds directly on these themes, pushing exploration further and weaving personal stories into the broader struggle for survival and meaning.
A Sci-Fi RPG Inspired by Classic Exploration
Drawing inspiration from 19th-century expeditions, deep-sea exploration, and pulp archaeology, Coriolis: The Great Dark blends narrative-driven roleplaying with high-risk discovery. This influence is even more pronounced in The Flowers of Algorab, which emphasizes uncertainty, loss, and the cost of pushing beyond known boundaries.
The expansion reinforces Free League’s reputation for atmospheric world-building and thoughtfully designed campaigns that reward curiosity and roleplay.
