OSR Review & Commentary On 'A Beacon in The Night' by Joseph Mohr a 'pay what you want' adventure For The Cepheus Engine Rpg

 "The planet Sarmahalos III is a non-aligned agricultural world in the Sonora sector. There are no major industries there other than farming. For thousands of years the people of that world have wondered at the strange alien spire atop a mountain that overlooks their primary population center. This spire has a long spiral staircase on the outside of it leading upward. There is no known way to enter the spire other than by ascending to the top and lowering oneself down into it. No person who has ever done this has ever returned."

In the 'Hostile' rpg  the situation of 'A Beacon in The Night' has both dire & daring interstellar implications for the human race. This adventure could completely alter humanity's place in the universe.
