Broken places talk louder than pristine halls. A ruin isn’t just rubble - it’s a question. And questions invite rumors. Let's tie this back to gossip and rumors: drop five rumors about a ruin, each pointing to a different maybe even contradictory forgotten truth. Let the players chase the ones that excite them. If you haven’t already chained yourself to a fixed history, you can reward their curiosity by making those rumors real. They feel like they uncovered it; you get to build the world in real time. The ruin speaks, the gossip spreads, and together you discover what was lost.
Truckee Games offers many game worlds (and growing!). The worlds are presented without an attached rule set so that you may utilize them with your preferred game (though my goal is to eventually provide my own rule sets).
Links on the side take you to downloadable documents and supplemental material.
