Rumor Mill; Campaign starting Pub/Inn talk

This topic is to support campaigns run in "Ryu's Gift"

In my old gaming group my campaigns always got messed up because the players did not want to go with what I had planed out. They would ether start using the campaign as was way to play "The Sims" (just doing day in, day out kind of things, like sleep, eat,work) or they would leave for a cross country journey the first chance they got, forcing me to rewrite my whole campaign on the spot. If I tried to force them down the planed campaign the whole game ended up being more troublesome then it was fun, for everyone invalid.

From thous failed campaigns I have come up with a better way of doing things for the players. I will instead start all campaigns as a player run campaign(Where I have no plan, no idea, and no direction for what the characters will be doing.) Instead the players will decide in what direction the campaign will go and I will make it as they go.

Now some people(such as myself) want a more pre-made campaign, and I still do come up with campaign ideas I would like to see played. So to answer these problems I have started the Rumor Mill. When I come up with a campaign that I like, the characters will hear about a rumor, that if fallowed will lead the characters into the campaign. If they choice not to fallow the rumor, I keep it stored away for the next group of characters and they will hear it.

This is the place I will post these rumors. Most of these Rumors are likely to be heard in any town ether from the Inn, the Pub, message boards, or some times from other sources. These are completely optional but will have a storyline that I have spent much more time making then anything I just make up as we are playing. Many of these will likely have an effect on the world or at least a large part of it.

The Count's Castle

Current Status: Available

Level Range: Any (preferably non-epic)

Type: Dungeon Crawler

Combat: Heavy

Common Area of Rumor/Info: Lands of SilverLeaf (Eastern part of the world)

Location to start campaign: The town of Limbranch

Rumor: "I heard there is an old abandoned castle in a small town to the far east, called Limbranch. They say along time ago, the owner left, leaving all of his riches behind. No one has been able to get to this treasure because his servants have turned into the undead and still guard the treasure to this very day. All someone would need is a good sword and all that treasure could be theirs."


Nightmare in the North

Common Area of Rumor/Info: Any town or city, as long as the group seems like they are about to be traveling toward/to North Haven

Location to start campaign: Cabin found in the North Haven Mountains

Rumor: "You seem like that type that travels around. Well I have a problem that you maybe able to help me with. I have not heard from my brother in some time and I am starting to worry about him. He lives all by himself out in the North Haven Mountains. Last time I went to visit him, there were a lot of wild animals around, he told me they were always around and that we were safe. After I returned I received a letter from him as I normally do. He did not say what it was but in his letter it seemed like something was troubling him. I am likely just worrying about nothing, but if you would not mind going out of your way to check on him, I would be willing to reward you."
