I adore this little one shot. You've put together a vivid, punchy story for a party to follow with room for the DM to insert anything they want to. This one shot feels almost modular in the sense that I could see myself plugging it into an existing campaign or using it as a launchpad for another, larger campaign. Just the fact that you've created a town map, dungeon map, and assembled character tokens feels luxurious as someone who has DMed a campaign where I made all of these assets myself. I really like this entry, personally; it's compelling and leaves me hungry for more. Good job!
When I get digital adventures in itchio or drivethru, I usually feel like:
Man, this thing is great! But all the art is in the PDF, there is no tokens i can use in VTTs, the maps I need to Printscreen them from the book as well. I know there are small stuff but I wanted to add all this just to make it easier for the DM who is usually who gets this stuff for their players!
Definitely seems like a solid little one shot, and all the available resources seem like it would be super self contained. I think I’d want a little more detail on the horrors and the source of the famine, plus what the locals believe the source is, to help set up more of the mystery.
Along with that there should be a few more hooks to get into the dungeon area as I feel like it relies on the GM either making the NPC so sketchy as to have the players too quickly guess the next steps, or miss out on it over all.
Honestly, yeah I kinda felt the same way, not enough hooks honestly, I felt 4 pages were my doom in this case, as there is a lot of Dungeons who uses the 3 available pages (plus Cover) to explain everything important and I had to use part of that space to explain the mystery, the town, the setting and the final dungeon DX
Its not really a complain, but I might do this adventure in a extended version with all the missing details I think it needs
