Description

From publisher blurb:

The time has come for the Martian colony of Stillwater to build its own space elevator! This requires the construction of an equatorial outpost, and the team has been hired to lead the survey. But are the investors’ motives pure? Or will greed and pride devour the project—and the colony?

Shadows Over Sol: Dreams and Dust is an adventure supplement for Shadows Over Sol that lets the players build an outpost and attempt to save it from impending disaster, some of which might even be of their own making! It features an exciting investigative horror scenario, and is designed to run anywhere between two and five gaming sessions.
