- PRODUCT TYPE: softcover supplement bundle
- RETAIL PRICE: $43
- DESCRIPTION: This bundle includes four supplements. Dying Hard on Hardlight Station, The Horror on Tau Sigma 7, The Cleaning of Prison Station Echo, and decrypted/the.nakatomi.papers. In Dying Hard on Hardlight Station, the PCs must choose between saving friends locked in the Healthtek facility or crawling to freedom in the vents of the corporate-controlled Hardlight Station, all while avoiding capture by the brutal Blackshield Mercenary Company. In addition, in the bowels of the station, something horrible has awoken, and, after a long, torturous sleep, hungers to feed. A prequel to Dying Hard on Hardlight Station, in The Horror on Tau Sigma 7 the PCs face an alien mystery and subterranean terror. Includes: a living alien environment that responds to the actions of the PCs, unique monsters, strange visions, bio-plastic artifacts, walls coursing with alien lifeblood, and more. In The Cleaning of Prison Station Echo, PCs are nighttime janitorial staff brought in to clean a corporate-run, high-security prison. Their shift goes wrong when an accident in the hidden basement lab releases a rampaging horde of hallucinating test subjects. Trapped in lockdown, if the PCs don’t solve the mystery hidden within the isolated prison moon quickly, the real “cleaners'' will erase all traces of their existence. Also includes: a bespoke panic table with 20 psychedelic X187 hallucinations to affect PCs, ad-hoc prison weapons, delectable bathtub booze, and jury-rigged escape apparatuses. decrypted/the.nakatomi.papers details the lives and secrets of many key figures on Hardlight Station and the larger Nakatomi corporation. Written by technicians who remains anonymous, to give a face to those silenced and lost in the grinding gears of the corporate machine that puts people before profit time and time again.
