What it is about

Even for those living trudging, provincial lives, there's still news to be shared and announcements to be made. From declarations of new births and wedding notices, to proclamations of taxes, Wanted posters and reminders about upcoming fairs and festivals, all of these things can be found on the local village noticeboard. Of course, in the fantastical settings where our games usually take place, there might be even stranger things on these boards. You might find a dragonslayer seeking apprentices, calls for aid from the Westland Rangers, warnings about strange sights seen in the deep forest or an announcement for a year-end sale for inexpertly enchanted items from the arcane academy. Whether you want to use the following fliers, notices and announcements as mere backdrops for your game, or you want to sneak them in as subtle quest hooks for your players to investigate, that decision is up to you!

Here are some sample results: All buildings in both the town proper and outlying provinces are ordered to hang wolfsbane from their doors, and across their windows, until further notice. This herb shall be provided to those who do not have access to it. The wolfsbane must be replaced between one and three days before the eve of the full moon. Care must be taken, as this herb can be harmful to adults, and deadly to children and animals. It will, however, act as a barrier and keep us safe during this current crisis. Another notice will be issues by the town council when the danger has passed, and the herb can be removed. Classes will soon begin at the Red Barn Academy for those who are interested in learning new skills, or sharing their knowledge with others. All ages are welcome, as long as they are old enough to learn, and if someone wishes to teach a skill then all they need to do is contact Kiri Fentaur to discuss their trade, and to put together a class schedule. Suggestions for new courses may be left in the suggestion box outside the Red Barn Academy itself, and if there is enough demand for particular lessons then arrangements may be made to seek out those capable of teaching the requested skill. Wilderness skills are some of the most important things one can have when out in the world. Those who want to learn how to survive in the wild lands are encouraged to join the Outland Coursers, where experts will teach the basics of woodscraft including tracking and foraging using the most basic of tools that everyone should have on their person whenever they set foot outside town boundaries. Don't let this opportunity pass you by; seize the day, and expand your horizons! Never ford a river blindly! As floodwaters rise and the rivers all across the region swell, it's important to never ford a river or stream which you cannot see the bottom of, and which you have not personally tested. Additionally, with higher waters come additional dangers which can range from whitewater snap traps, to venomous bank serpents whose bite can kill in as little as a few hours. Take care during your travels while the flood waters are high, and remember to use bridges whenever possible. A small delay in time can often be well worth the safety and security such a route offers. A Missed Connection: I saw you in the clearing near Last Iron Lake. Your long, dark hair streamed in the wind, and your sword glimmered in the morning light as you practiced. You heard a branch crack under my boot from where I was watching, but I fled deeper into the trees rather than reveal myself to you at the time. I would like to properly introduce myself to you, so if you wish to meet me, please be at the old stone bridge an hour before sunset!
