ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Cold Fusion centres around a cutting-edge power plant in northern Canada on the day of an official visit by the recently elected Minister for Energy; he’s here to get to the bottom of the secrecy surrounding the huge expense of this plant. Those working at the plant are more concerned with holding onto their jobs, but are also curious about ‘Material Zero’, an unknown composite that makes the fusion process possible at such low energies.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Dead of Night is a rules-lite tabletop roleplaying game designed to emulate the atmosphere and tropes of campfire tales, slasher movies, and B-movie horror. Published by SteamPower Publishing, the game emphasizes quick setup, narrative-driven play, and the survival of ordinary individuals against unstoppable killers and slavering monsters.
