We didn't have any rumor sheets at the last event. What's your opinion on that?
I like rumor sheets myself, but I like true rumors best. Anyone can make up fake rumors, and they're not as fun to get.
I like it when players get rumors they can actually use. I enjoy seeing players say "Hey, I heard a rumor that the password is swordfish" and then it works, or when they say "I heard that these monsters are immune to Sleep" and it's true.
Maybe we should call it "Clue" sheets instead.
Sometimes Plot objects and says that certain things would never be known in advance of the event, but I say in a world of fortunetellers and seers a few views into the future are fine. And not all of them have to be really important. Even something as simple as "Bobo the Farmer is very trustworthy" is nice to get.
I'd like players to submit rumors too, about their characters and the NPCs they've met.
Anyway, what does everyone think?
