RPG Rumour Generator FAQ

How is a rumour different from a quest hook?

A quest hook presents something the party could explicitly go and do. A rumour presents something people are saying, with enough specificity that the players can decide for themselves whether it's worth investigating. This generator stays deliberately lighter than the Quest Hook Generator -- no objectives, rewards, or encounter structure, just a gossip line, a lead, and a source.

Are the rumours always true?

No. Each table of six rolls a fixed hidden distribution: four rumours are essentially true, one is an exaggeration of something real, and one is a dangerous misconception that sounds plausible but is materially wrong. Which is which is never shown to players -- it lives in the GM-only notes beneath each entry.

Will every rumour actually be useful at the table?

Yes. Every rumour names at least one concrete, pursuable lead -- a specific person, place, faction, or item the players can seek out, question, or investigate. Vague ominous statements with nothing to act on are treated as a quality failure, not a feature.

Does this work for genres other than fantasy?

Yes. Set the genre to fantasy, cyberpunk, cosmic horror, space opera, western, and more -- the source, subject matter, and vocabulary adapt while the structure (rumour, lead, source, hidden truth) stays the same.

Do I have to save all six rumours as separate entities?

No. The whole table copies and saves as a single lightweight note, so you're not forced to create six new entities in your campaign vault every time you roll a table of local gossip.
