Description
A d100 table of market gossip, suspicious merchants, petty criminals, strange customers, and trouble waiting to happen.
Markets are noisy, crowded places where people hear things. A merchant knows which stallholder is cheating customers, a porter knows which crates arrive after dark, the watch knows someone is hiding something, the thieves' guild has its own business to worry about, and somewhere among all that gossip, there is usually a rumour worth following.
100 Market Rumors Volume 1 gives you a ready-to-use d100 table of rumours for your fantasy RPG. Roll whenever the characters start asking around the market, need a little local colour, or you want to give them a possible lead without planning an entire encounter.
The rumours cover missing goods, strange purchases, dishonest traders, market rivalries, the city watch, thieves' guilds, suspicious customers, unexplained deliveries, old debts, secret meetings, and the occasional rumour that could turn into something much bigger.
Not every rumour is true, some are false, some have been exaggerated, some have only half the story, and a few might be exactly the sort of thing that gets adventurers involved.
Inside You'll Find

Drop the table into an established city, use it while the characters are shopping, or roll a rumour whenever the players decide to start asking questions.
