Secretum Mundi
 |
I have travelled the world and collected much that is hidden. Within these pages are truths¸ lies and fiction as told to me by occultists¸ practitioners and scholars of magic¸ collected and retold in¸ as far as is possible¸ their own words. These tales and fragments come from the old streets of London¸ the fabled souks of Morocco¸ the back alleys of New Orleans and the boulevards of Paris. I have no doubt that some of my interviewees told me falsehoods or lies¸ or hid the true meaning of their words within obscuring vistas. But here and there are kernels of truth¸ glimpses of what they refer to as the Secret World¸ the hidden reality that is¸ they say¸ the truth of our existence.
As to what is true and what is a lie - that I leave for the reader to determine. Perhaps they will discern a greater truth than I.'
Welcome to the Secret World...
Welcome to Secretum Mundi. This book is an encyclopedic-style supplement for the Esoterica Roleplaying game¸ or for any other roleplaying game that focuses on the occult and magic in the modern world (it is rules agnostic). Secretum Mundi contains a range of alphabetized entries on occult individuals¸ places¸ events and items¸ all of which will have plot hooks that can be used to create adventures. Also¸ many of the entries interlink (i.e. reference each other)¸ so that several entries can be used to create a mini campaign.
The book doesn't contain any rules and is therefore system neutral¸ so it can be used with any occult-themed roleplaying game.
