What is this forum for?
Adventures are the engine of Throal's progress and the reclamation of Barsaive. Rumors are the fuel for that engine. Rumors are how we start, and continue, adventures and this forum is where they are posted, continued, and closed.
How to use this forum:
You can use this forum to check existing rumors, create a new rumor, or, as a GM, claim a rumor as the seed for an adventure. To create a new rumor (or request for specific character advancement), please make a post in this forum with the subject line:
Code: Select all
Rumor <or Request> (ECL): Title

[b]Location:[/b] If you have a specific site or hex(es) in mind.
[b]Circle:[/b] How dangerous is this rumor (use ECL)
[b]Reward:[/b] If you want this to create an opportunity for personal development - Questor training, new circle, etc.
[b]Benefit:[/b] Any potential benefit to a larger community (resource, security, trade route) if appropriate.
[b]Notable NPCs:[/b] If you are adding a named NPC, even if it's just the source of the rumor.

Not all rumors are created equal. The best rumors are the one that inspire interesting adventure and also add something back to the game world. When creating rumor, try to keep the following in mind:
- How is this rumor interesting for and helpful to a GM?
- How is this rumor interesting for people who weren't on the adventure?
- Does this rumor serve the fiction well?
Obviously, adventure rewards are bounded by their guidelines, so please don't expect 'Rumor has it there's a suit of Crystal Plate with my name on it at 47.10' to work out.
Most of all, be creative, have great adventures, and enjoy yourselves!
