About the adventure

Rain pelts down on your windshield on the way to Arkham. You feel the cold chill despite sitting inside your car, just a little bit longer and you can rest. You think you remember a small diner up ahead where maybe you can wait the storm out. Your eyes wander to the forest... lightning flashes- wait what was that?! You look back to the road, seeing a figure standing in front of your car, and hear the screech of your brake... "Dead Light is an adventure scenario for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying system designed to be played in gaming sessions. An exercise in Lovecraftian-flavored survival horror, the unwitting investigators are caught up in a spiral of terror where only their quick thinking, and courage, will see them through till the clouds clear and a new dawn beckons." Dates Available: πŸŒ™ August 7th ⛰️ August 14th (2 separate times!) β˜„οΈ August 21st
