Les Mystères d’Arkham (The Mysteries of Arkham)
Look beyond the bootleggers, speakeasies, and bank robberies of the Roaring Twenties. Something ancient and malevolent stirs beneath the streets of New England. Les Mystères d’Arkham is an official investigative sourcebook designed for Arkham Horror: The Roleplaying Game. Built to accommodate a Game Master and 3 to 5 investigators, this anthology challenges characters to confront cosmic dread across a flexible structure—play them consecutively as an epic narrative campaign or as standalone investigative operations.
Requires the Arkham Horror: The Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook to play. The "Arkham" setting supplement is highly recommended for an enhanced experience.
Three Gripping Case Files Spanning Cosmic Horror
This supplement breaks down into three distinct, detailed scenarios that challenge both the deductive reasoning and the survival instincts of your players:
- Miskatonic University Horrors: On the eve of a highly anticipated new exhibition opening, the sudden, unnatural death of a young graduate threatens the event. Investigators must navigate the prestigious campus to figure out what killed the student and determine if the university grounds are truly safe for the public.
- Un dernier pour la route (One for the Road): A close companion of the team collapses after drinking illegal, bootleg alcohol during the height of Prohibition. As the investigation deepens, the bizarre, corrupting effects of this specific batch come to light, forcing players to walk a fine line between underworld crime syndicates and occult anomalies.
- Cauchemar ophidien (Ophidian Nightmare): Arkham is gripped by a wave of sudden, unexplained disappearances, leaving the local population terrified. Three separate leads point toward entities that bypass regular police capabilities, forcing characters to risk both their physical stamina and mental sanity to uncover the truth.
