A strange influx of gold nuggets has caused a great deal of interest among the townsfolk of Lazarus, but is all that glitters really gold? Does a strange, solitary prospector hold the answers – or is it the local Apache – or a notorious gang of bandits? And whatever happened to the missing prospectors – or to the ghost town of Christians Folly? Attempting to answer these questions reveals ominous hints that everything is not what it seems. What ensues puts the players on the path to the solution, but theodds are against them, and many encounters await them within the dusty hills. Even what seems like success may be merely a prelude to revenge.

As well as providing adventures in town, wilderness, and subterranean settings, Fools Gold includes hooks for various types of player characters, plus local rumors, several reference and area maps, non-player characterstatistics, and more, all in an easy to use format. Even after the players finish the adventure, you can use the supplemental material again and again.
