"Almost eight feet tall, and carrying a cheap new valise from Osborn’s general store, this dark and goatish gargoyle appeared one day in Arkham in quest of the dreaded volume kept under lock and key at the college library — the hideous Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred in Olaus Wormius’ Latin version." ~ H.P. Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror ~
It begins with a book... Somewhere in the Miskatonic Museum, Olaus Wormius's Latin translation of a book called the Necronomicon lies hidden away, kept locked and secret so that those individuals who shouldn't gain access to it do not. When recent events at the university and the Clover Club lead you to believe that someone may now be searching for this strange and ancient tome - someone who should not be permitted to delve its secrets - you make your way to the Museum. The hour is late, and the front door is locked. But you know you must recover the book before anyone can access its arcane secrets for dark purposes.
The cards and adventure from The Miskatonic Museum, the first Mythos Pack in The Dunwich Legacy Cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game, grant you access to the Museum and its many exhibitions. Whether you conduct your investigation as a relatively simple book recovery or incorporate it into the campaign from The Dunwich Legacy, you'll find it marked by a frightening urgency. However, you aren't alone within the museum's darkened chambers; something else stalks the exhibits, as well...
The Miskatonic Museum offers plenty more than a book hunt, and as you navigate its halls in search of the dread Necronomicon, you may find yourself tempted in plenty of other directions. The Miskatonic Museum contains twenty-six player cards, ranging from levels zero to two, and their secrets may help you unlock new Talents and Tactics. They may afford you new Insights, or you might equip them as Tools. Altogether, you'll find that artifacts on display in The Miskatonic Museum suggest plenty of ways to spend the experience points you accrue over the course of your The Dunwich Legacy campaign.
