New Horizon is a science fiction world which holds the soul of a fantasy world's loose and inventive play style and its sense of exploration and wonder. It's a brand new world, just waiting for you to explore it!
If you enjoy roleplaying and science fiction, but have been turned off by restrictive play settings or basic fantasy settings, then join New Horizon and be part of a new world beyond your imagination. The campaign is set across a vast and varied world, with terrains both familiar but refreshing and new, to completely alien in nature. From urban jungles to mountain passes of living crystals. From deep tropical mangroves to bio-luminescent subterranean fungal forests. New Horizon will take you to places you've only ever seen in your imagination, and let you come back in time to answer the door for the pizza delivery.
For RPG games, New Horizon uses an exciting new system called Volt. We think it's one of the best new systems out there, and we look forward to the chance for us, and the RPG technicians at Volt to show you just how liberating this system can be.
April 22, 2012: New Horizon 2.0 Feedback Requested
New Horizon 2.0 is coming together. All of the rule text is in place, but we'd like your opinions on it! Let us know if something is unclear. Let us know if any of the rules seem wrong, insufficient or superfluous, because now's the last chance to fix that before the release.
If you're willing to read through the new Player's Guide and Game Master's Guide in the next week or so and help us find any mistakes we may have overlooked, then visit our forums and post your e-mail there and you will be given access to our back-stage Wiki which we are using for development purposes. You will get access to our Wiki for a limited period of time, and you'll also be one of the first people to get a pre-view of our two new guides. Any help we may get from you will be very appreciated.
April 6-8, 2012: GothCon XXXVI
New Horizon attended GothCon XXXVI (a Gothenburg Convention for people playing roleplaying games) and just like last year, a lot of people came here to play games for three days in a row. We were of course one of the exhibitors, with our own table and everything.
We also met Anders and Tove from Fenix who were giving people a sneak peek at their upcoming game "Western", and we also met Tina from MylingSpel who had a new game available called "Pirater!" (Pirates).
This time at GothCon a few things were managed very poorly, at least from an exhibitors point of view. During the previous year each exhibitor had its own specific table marked out before hand. However, this year the GothCon-organizers thought that they would leave everything up to the exhibitors to decide, thinking they would be capable of managing things on their own. As a result, some exhibitors got several tables, while others didn't get any at all. So complains were of course unavoidable. The GothCon-organizers didn't want to move the existing exhibitors who had already managed to set up shop, so they were forced to find and put in new tables into a room which was already filled with them. It got pretty chaotic, and I can truthfully say that I've never seen a convention so poorly organized before.
Just like last year, New Horizon bought several pizzas and slices were given away to those who were hungry. We also had 60 Starter Guides printed which were also given away for free. It took only one and a half day for all Starter Guides to reach their new owners, and people were very enthusiastic about them. All and all, we had a lot of fun and enjoyed the conference very much.
"Most unique about New Horizon: The races and their history, definitely. Rare to see an RPG where humans are actually the 'ancients'. Most fun: The freedom to integrate roleplay and creativity easily into gameplay."
Everything you need to setup a New Horizon RPG is provided for FREE, but where do you start and what should you do next? The information below will guide you through the process:
The free Starter Guide provides detailed step-by-step information for player and game master (GMs) on how to create characters and RPGs for the New Horizon setting. Page 11-12 of the guide provides information about how to start your own game and other things you might need when playing.
The Games section of our webpage provides an introduction to our roleplaying game.
However, the RPG Games section is where you'll find all our free roleplaying materials which you can download and use for your New Horizon adventures.
You can also visit the RPG Adventures section where you can download official and fan-made adventures, as well as adventure seeds for your own adventures.
New Horizon RPGs are played using the Volt Rule System and two D20 dice. If you don't have two dice available, you can use our D20 Dice instead.
Once you have created a character, visit our forums where we are running several different play-by-post (PbP) games. Select the RPG you like and join the adventure together with other players.
