Likewise, there’s an adventure synopsis right up front to help the DM get oriented … and without it I’d be even more lost than I already am. It also separates out just about every NPC you could talk to in their own little box, and tried to use some bullets or italics to draw attention to different facts and so on. And an adventure with a lot going on can be a GREAT adventure. I’m not entirely sure it all fits together well, due to issues explained later, but it COULD. You get the dead dealer causing problems as a wight, the two kids turning a corn field in to an evil corn maze … a fuck ton going on here. You get a widow making monsters attacking the mayor for not trying hard enough to find the murderers. That dudes wife is a little skeezy … a red herring.
One Year Later (a magic number, to be sure, and thus I approve) you get an evil corn stalk monster killing someone in the night. Two teens, making, out see it, and get killed also. Two dudes kill their skeezy drug peddler and bury him in a cornfield. Combined with some “Now It Is Fight Time” logic, it screams j’accuse! at the Frogs. There is SOMETHING going on, but it is hidden behind so much Wall of Text as to be nigh incomprehensible. This 27 page adventure uses about fourteen ages to describe an investigation, a couple of combats, and a small corn maze in a mesoamerican village. The characters must wade through a list of suspects and motives that lead them to discover the ugly truth about a heinous crime that spawned a greater evil than even its perpetrators could ever imagine. A recent murder in the village of Pilhua proves to be far more than a simple crime of passion as the seeds for this killing were sown during a previous, unsolved mystery that still haunts some residents within the settlement. Maize and Monsters is an adventure, that exposes the adventurers to the grim reality that time sometimes exacerbates old wounds rather than healing them.
