About the adventure

Call of Cthulhu is a horror fiction role-playing game based on H. P. Lovecraft's story of the same name and the associated Cthulhu Mythos. This adventure, called The Lightless Beacon, is an introductory scenario for beginners and experts alike. In this scenario, investigators play the roles of unfortunate passengers on a ship heading for Rockport, Massachusetts, on Monday, April 12th, 1926, the night of the new moon. Due to a malfunction at the lighthouse on Beacon Island, their ship founders on nearby rocks, forcing the investigators to take to a small lifeboat and head to Beacon Island for refuge in the growing storm. Unfortunately, even greater dangers await them, as they stumble into a retrieval mission by deep one hybrids and their diabolical allies. Will the investigators survive to tell the tale of their findings or will they succumb to the watery threat that rises all around them?
