I finally ran this, and my group had a blast! A trio of aging historians and their put-upon intern who runs their Twitch stream had to investigate high school vandalism and spectral raspberry jelly in Wellington (Missouri).
Oh great! Haha aging historians on a twitch stream is a brilliant setup for this.
FYI there’s an update coming in a few weeks - you should get notified here when the new files go live :-)
I picked up the game because I love Wellington Paranormal, and this looks right up my alley! Are there any Actual Play videos or podcasts that you know of?
thank you! No, I haven’t seen any actual plays so far (would love to know about any!)
