William Bailey's Haunted Mansion​

This one shot Gaslight era Call of Cthulhu Adventure is set in the criminal underbelly of colonial Australia, and was first performed live at the Ballarat Heritage Festival. Chaosium's Michael O'Brien who was in the audience said William Bailey's Haunted Mansion is:

"a masterclass of showing how you can deftly concoct a (fictional) Cthulhu Mythos tale out of real historical happenings, bringing in known locations, authentic artefacts and documents, and actual people who lived at the time. Congratulations to David Waldron and the talented players and musicians who brought the story to life at the gaming table, and have now published the scenario! And thanks to Ballarat Libraries who helped make it all happen at the Ballarat Heritage Festival! In Call of Cthulhu, librarians are the heroes, don't you know..."

You can watch that performance on YouTube.
