Golden Idol is an action-packed adventure game set in the modern world with elements of archaeology and thriller genres.

You play as members of LARA (Legendary Artifacts Recovery Agency), charged with discovering and finding valuable artifacts around the world in remote places, among the vestiges of lost civilizations.

In the depths of rainforests, among the world's highest mountains, in the hidden oases of deserts, on plateaus, in the depths of the sea. Ancient ruins are hidden everywhere.

But beware. Secret societies and enemy agencies will get in your way!

This is exactly what I was looking for. and for Cairn too? I was just looking for some ispiration, or maybe a setting, but a whoel system based on Cairn with additional tables for inspiration for writing my own adventures? This is gold! Thank you so much for creating this. I hope someday, you will write some adventures based on this book.

I have actually drafted two adventure for this game: a one-shot and a mini campaign. But I don’t have many time at this time to make a well laid out supplement.

I hope you'll find the time. I'll definately be using that once it comes out
