Inspired by Jeff's Gameblog, below are rumors circulating around the city of Jarlsburg, the setting for my upcoming open table DnD Next Demo game, Ironcloaks. Fair warning: Some of these may be true.
Roll a d20 or pick one:
1) Stanis Krauss has eliminated three different opponents who've run against him for mayor.
2) The Wight of Elder haunts the burough of the same name. Those living in Elder, nail giant slugs to their doors during the last night of the full moon to ward off the evil spirit.
3) A witch woman in Coppertown steals young girls from their families.
4) The Black Dogg was shut down because the owner, Wil Veris, his family, staff and 11 patrons were all murdered by something in the sewers.
5) There are exactly 13 Silvercloaks patrolling the city. No more, no less.
6) Deep below the Plaza of Remembrance lies a shameful secret that drove the dwarves to hand the city over to Council of Oleander.
7) A shop on Tanner Street pays 2 silver a pound for human skin.

14) The Witengamot has begun sewing dissent within the city.
