'''Scenarios:''' [[Invisible Sun]]
The material allows the cult to be set up and used in any era. with material for Classical era, Invictus, Dark Ages, Colonial/Early America, and modern. The modern era part describes the entire current operation and stats out the current head cultist along with his sordid life story.
 
  
The remainder of the book is a scenario entitled Invisible Sun, which pits the investigators against the current cult in modern day Las Vegas. It's deliberately campy; film/literary treatments of Las Vegas such as 3000 Miles to Graceland, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the original Night Stalker pilot movie, and Mars Attacks! all get shoutouts. This is horror with a tone of surreal.
