Call of Cthulhu: Dead Light and Other Dark Turns (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Alright, investigators, ready for some truly unsettling encounters on the open road? With the rise of the automobile in the 1920s, people found new freedom to travel, reaching once-isolated places that the railways never touched. But this new network also meant that strangers began making their way into secluded locations where they may not be welcome, and where old secrets have been hidden for generations. Who knows what lurks behind the lace curtains of the houses you drive past? What dangers lie in wait for the unwary along the out-of-the-way highways and byways?

Dead Light and Other Dark Turns contains two chilling scenarios for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition, both expertly dealing with the unsettling theme of roadside adventure. Plus, it includes six evocative story seeds for the Keeper to expand and develop into even more terrifying tales!

The Scenarios:

• In the classic Dead Light scenario, now revised and updated, a chance encounter with a distressed young woman leads the investigators into the hideous aftermath of a crime gone terribly wrong.

• In the brand-new Saturnine Chalice scenario, seeking help from a nearby homeowner after their vehicle unexpectedly runs out of gas traps the investigators in a house where absolutely nothing is quite what it seems.

Both scenarios can be used as standalone adventures, perfect for one to two sessions' worth of play, or they can be seamlessly slotted into an ongoing campaign as your investigators journey between locations. To get you started immediately, each scenario comes with six ready-to-play investigators. This supplement is suitable for use with either the Call of Cthulhu: Keeper Rulebook or the Call of Cthulhu Starter Set, ensuring you're ready to hit the road!

What's New in this Version of Dead Light? This new edition of Dead Light features fresh, haunting art throughout by Magda Meiszczak, Doruk Golcu, and Caleb Cleveland. The scenario has been revised and reorganized to address minor issues from the original (like fixing that reference to Walter the Pump Jockey!). We've also included five valuable player handouts, providing further insight into the plot and agendas of the characters involved.

In addition, the book introduces the fantastic new scenario, Saturnine Chalice, by Matthew Sanderson, which perfectly continues the roadside danger and mystery. Carrying on this theme are six new adventure seeds, each packed with ideas for encounters on the road that Keepers can use as inspiration for short sidetracks, thrilling one-night games, or to develop into full-blown, sanity-shattering scenarios!
