I've made a small point crawl set around a village on the banks of a jungle river.
The main hook revolves around travelers getting shaken down by mysterious bandits on their way in and out of town. The village doesn't know where these outlaws are coming from or disappearing to.
I'd originally wanted it to be a single, (or double sided), page but as I tried to connect the dots, and make the underlying relationships work it became evident that it wouldn't fit in that kind of space. I could go through a 'kill your darlings' phase and refine things down but I'd intended this to be a quick experiment after making Grotto of The Golden Gargoyle. I'm sharing it as is for anyone to play with or pull ideas from. In some ways it currently feels like a bit of a mash up of themes across the first six zines in the perils series - I'm evidently drawn to doppelgangers, swampy environments and 'infection' as concepts...

Note: I haven't had a chance to play test this material yet. I imagine it as a bit of a sleeper adventure that could slowly emerge alongside something else the party are doing in and around the town.
Also, if you're one of my players don't look at this.
OK here it is:
Conspiracy in Lutum (working title)
