In the summer of 1928, yet another group of Boston investigators tried to sort out the strange happenings around the Campbell House near Mortimer, NC. The man who had been asked to deal with the house was debunker Marshall Hutchins. He’d brought with him writer Stephen Tucker, photojournalist Thomas Fitzsimmons, dilettante Derek Masterson III ( who also fancied himself a writer), and occultist Simon Leavy. The five men would find less to debunk than to fear.
This game was originally run at CaesarCon 2012 in Bryan, Ohio, on March 17, 2012. The Wizard of Wilson Creek is the third scenario in The Phantom of Wilson Creek, a monograph I wrote that was recently published by Chaosium. As the investigators fled the house without solving the newest mystery of the place in the game session I ran before, I thought someone else might be sent to sort things out. The role playing journal of the events here can be found at:
