Pipeline, The - A Call of Cthulhu Scenario for the 1980's (POD, Premium Color)

In the Fall of 1986, contact was lost with Exxon Pumping Station #31 near Telegraph Creek, BC Canada. The media reported that a radical environmental group called the North Wind sabotaged the facility, leading to the deaths of several Exxon employees and a number of civilian contractors. The official statement made it clear that all members of the North Wind were killed during the incident by a group of private security personnel hired by Exxon.

Following the incident, the pipeline was shut down pending further investigation by the Canadian government and unnamed US agencies. The matter was soon forgotten by the public and no more was heard about The Pipeline Incident.

Until now.

The material in this book is designed for 7th edition Call of Cthulhu, but is backwards compatible with other editions. Besides providing a great deal of classic 80s horror action, this scenario is intended to explore and expand the concept of survival in Call of Cthulhu by providing additional challenges and pressures for the investigators to face. This makes the scenario particularly deadly, and so Keepers may wish to consider using the Pulp Cthulhu rules if they want to give their investigators a better chance of making it out alive.

In addition to the scenario, this book includes some additional definitions, rules, and arctic hazards that the Keeper can use at their discretion throughout the scenario to enhance the cinematic feel of the story. These environmental rules can also be used in other arctic settings if the Keeper wants to make things more cinematic and dangerous.
