About the adventure
You are Delvers: brave souls who have made a career (or intend to) out of venturing forth into the mutating mists of the Unknown to fight the eldritch horrors that lurk beyond the diminishing borders of human society. Your team has been called upon to repair the Phareflaw Lighthouse. Its light has mysteriously gone out, endangering the many ships that keep your fragile civilization afloat. Can you restore its light? Or will the Unknown extinguish you, too? This is an introductory one-shot for the new MCDM system Time Without Tide, using the quickstart material and included module. Get ready for cosmic horror, science fantasy, goofy characters, and Victorian aesthetics as you learn the basics of the system and shape the outcome of a short and punchy narrative.
