Plot[]
Mysterium at Bainbridge Estate[]
In 1922, Lorraine Bainbridge invited four famed psychics to her estate. There had been strange phenomena in the house, Lorraine's husband was acting oddly, and her son Aidan had become ill. Fearing for his life and as a big believer in spiritualism, Lorraine invited the four to investigate and hopefully save her son.
Mysterium: Hidden Signs[]
A couple of years after the events at Bainbridge Estate, four psychics are called through their abilities to the village of Edenvale, where a young boy has just died in mysterious and gruesome circumstances and townspeople are beginning to fall sick after seeing a strange woman in white.
Wildcards: Interludes (Mysterium: New Orleans)[]
As part of the Saving Throw show Wildcards: Interludes, GM Meghan Caves ran a two-part Mysterium game called Mysterium: New Orleans with the cast of Wildcards. Links to both parts: Part 1, Part 2.
