Call of Cthulhu One-Shot: "The Lightless Beacon"

  • Bard & Baker Board Game Cafe 501 Broadway, Suite 105 Troy, NY 12180 USA (map)

April 12th, 1926, 8:15pm…

The Beacon Island lighthouse off the shore of Folly Point, Massachusetts, ceased to cast its light over the region’s dangerous rocky waters about 15 minutes ago. As a storm is brewing, you should have just enough time to reach the island before it hits.

“The Lightless Beacon” is a Call of Cthulhu horror adventure that challenges players to discover what has happened to the Lighthouse on Beacon Island. This game is meant to take 3 - 4 hours to complete. Can you uncover what evil has descended upon the island before it’s too late?

Pre-generated characters tied into the adventure will be provided at the start of the session. You are encouraged to bring along writing supplies. The materials and pace of these sessions are intended for participants 18 years and older. Lovecraftian monsters will be the only terrifying unknown. The session will begin with a brief introduction to the rules of Call of Cthulhu for those that are new to the game or might need a quick refresher.
