The Magonium Mine Murders
Strange noises in the mine. Bandits on the roads. A counterfeiting scheme¸ a crooked prizefight racket¸ a rebellion in the making ... and a cold-blooded murder. Times are hard in the Halbek Valley¸ and your player characters are right in the middle of it all.
The Magonium Mine Murders is a sandbox-style murder-mystery scenario (a "cluebox") designed for use with Old-School Essentials. Instead of having a central narrative¸ it presents the people of the valley¸ their schemes¸ and the places and things they fight over¸ then lets the players figure out what's going on and what to do about it. It's a sandbox full of clues. It's a ... cluebox?
This 24-page zine includes multiple plots and conspiracies¸ over a dozen NPCs¸ a mini-dungeon¸ new monsters and magic items¸ a colour cover by Ed Bickford¸ and more. It also includes a bonus mini-scenario¸ The Great Magonium Caper Generator¸ and a digital props collection.
