Nocturnum 2: Hollow Winds
 |
Long Shades ¸ the first of three books in the Nocturnum campaign¸ introduces a new evil to your horror roleplaying game. An ancient¸ inhuman conspiracy has set into motion a chain of events that threatens to destroy the world as we know it -- and the player characters are the only ones who can stop it. The system used is compatible with Chaosium"s Call of Cthulhu RPG¸ but the background and adventures can be easily adapted to any other horror roleplaying game. The book contains a detailed campaign background and three full adventures: Snow¸ Stone and Blood -- Snowbound in the sleepy mountain village of Snowflake Valley¸ the player characters are accused of murder. To clear their names¸ they must solve a mystery as old as the mountain itself -- while being stalked by a loathsome beast with a taste for human flesh. Madness of the Twilight Queen -- A forgotten cult¸ a mad scientist and a hot new drug all come together in a vortex of evil that threatens to destroy a small college town. It"s all somehow connected¸ and if the player characters don"t find out how¸ they will pay the price with their sanity. Stillness -- A girl is missing... a girl who has a secret with the power to kill. Desperate¸ her father implores the player characters¸ "Find my daughter!" But there are signs¸ terrible omens¸ that at the end of their search¸ only death and madness await.
