Pardon me if this is posted in the wrong place! I thought this was a resource you guys might like to take advantage of, but I really wasn't sure what part of the forums it might belong in. If I've posted this in the wrong area, feel free to move it!
Occasionally there are circumstances -- events, character actions, places, or similar things -- that are things other character within the realm of Rhy'din
might hear about. I know I've personally had things happen in story lines or random roleplay and said to myself: "Wow, I can see how other characters might hear about this!" But it's not exactly something that's considered 'playable' -- it's simple something other characters might have overheard in their Rhy'din travels.
With that in mind,
The Rhy'din Rumors page was created.
Rhy'din Rumors is a user-submitted database of In Game rumors for roleplay use.
A rumor is anything you might want characters and players to catch whispers of in games -- it could be anything from the local gossip of a marriage, to something much more devious, like a local villain terrorizing in the streets. It can be a rumor about an event, a character, a place, or anything else you can think of. Here are a few examples:
- A strange messenger boy has been trying to find all the blacksmiths in town bearing a simple message: "Gold for cold-forged iron."
- There have been whispers in the streets that the priest of Re'hiya Temple has been accused of necromancy.
- Sailors and dock workers have been seeing a mysterious ship take port lately -- a ship with no Captain and no name..
How does Rhy'din Rumors work?
On the the submission page you can find a simple form to submit a rumor to the database as well as signing up for the "rumor newsletter." Once you sign up, you'll receive updates filled with random rumors your character might've been able to hear in their Rhy'din wanderings. You'll also be able to submit rumors yourself. Emails in the listings are divided into random groups -- so the rumors your character could hear might not be the same rumors that another character will hear. The database is refreshed on a monthly basis, so you'll be receiving the fresh word on the street.
Anyone who plays within the Rhy'din realm can submit a rumor to the database.
I'm still working on guidelines for submission -- such as maybe limiting the submission of rumors to your own characters/storylines? If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great!
