On the 15th December 1900 the lighthouse keepers at  Eilean Mòr made a routine entry into the lighthouse log. 

“Storm ended, sea calm. God is over all”

--------------------------

Based on the mythologised version of the historical disappearance of three lighthouse keepers in 1900, No Glimmer Through the Night is a horror ttrpg story. The players take on the role of a varied group looking to investigate what happened on the island. 

While there the characters will have to face horrors they were not expecting. As monsters manifest and the weight of their past transgressions weighs down upon them, they will have to find a way to escape the island, or figure out what they can do to change things here.

--------------------------

HI there, just bought the game part of the Halloween bundle. 

Is it possible for you to provide empty Character cards (1 character and 1 object card) so we can customize them/add new characters please?

Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

Firstly thanks for picking up the bundle!

Secondly, the easiest way to access them is on the CobblePath website here: https://www.cobblepathgames.co.uk/resource-men-drop
If you download the 'Locus core book printing pages' it has all the blank cards in the doc.

Thanks for highlighting this, I'll make sure to put this link in an updated document and on the itch page! 

Many thanks and I hope you enjoy the game!
Jack

I bought this game awhile back and just saw this link. however the link is dead. Has it moved?

Hello, thanks for commenting. Our website is undergoing some renovations at the moment so I've included the blank card document in the downloadable files for this game. 
Apologies for the inconvenience!
