Crystal Dust

Aldus leaves his village to chase his fortune and ends up in the town of Lindow, where the real business turns out to be crystal dust, not honest work.

Getting tangled in the local trade means getting tangled with the people who run it, and Lindow has no shortage of those. The relationships Aldus builds along the way tend to come with strings attached, and not always the kind he expects.

Play moves through turn based combat and the usual RPGM trappings of a small town with too many secrets, with the crystal dust market pulling Aldus into deals, favors, and company he probably shouldn't keep. The fantasy setting stays mostly a backdrop for the human mess Aldus wades into.
