About the adventure
Phareflaw Lighthouse has gone out. This isn’t a recent development unfortunately, the light went out in the middle of Winter. Now it is Spring and it has come to send a group of adventurers (called Delvers) to find what happened and reignite the beacon. You are those adventurers. Make no mistake, this is not a rescue mission. Without light to keep the monsters at bay, it is surely overrun. Perhaps you can discover what happened here, but more important is getting that light back on. With signed Delver contract in hand, you are led to the old tugboat that’ll take you to the cliffs below the lighthouse. Although seeing it, you hope it’ll get you there. — Welcome to the world of “Time Without Tide,” a tabletop game about adventuring into the ruins of a faux-Victorian world filled with monsters, riches, and who knows what else? The world has been destroyed and now a malicious Fog covers the world. This Fog hides, strengthens, and even creates horrors in every nook and cranny. It is up to Delvers like you to venture into this Fog to push back these horrors and uncover relics of ages past.
