The Alcestis Cypher
A short science-fiction adventure in which the characters investigate a secret message from the past and search for a long-lost alien codex. The codex may hold the key to saving a dying father, but a ruthless business mogul is also pursuing it. Players balance competing objectives, uncover ancient secrets, and face the consequences as events move toward a dangerous climax. The adventure uses Cepheus Engine, Cepheus Deluxe, and Original Science Fiction Roleplaying Game rules, and can be adapted to other 2D6 systems.
