The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has ten rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. Charlie, the grey ambassador, comes across as guileless, to the degree that some humans find it suspicious. They believe that someone so truly without guile couldn’t possibly serve as am ambassador, and that Charlie must be hiding something nefarious under their facade.
2. Club Gr3y is popular with both humans and greys but it’s known that a number of less than entirely legal things go on in the club’s private rooms. It’s rumoured that sometimes these descend into the outright illegal and would get the club shut down if the truth ever came out.
3. Greys don’t seem to have a specific gender, which has led to speculation about just how they reproduce. Some think that greys simply don’t have external signs of what gender they are, but others have suggested that greys reproduce by cloning or that they keep one of their genders hidden.
4. It’s rumoured that some of the greys not only consider humans to be second class citizens akin to pets, or perhaps beasts, but that they’ve been treating them that way too. Specifically, treating humans as if they were beats being raised for food, and dining on human flesh out of sight of those who might object.
5. Johnny, the grey proprietor of Club Gr3y, is rumoured to be extensively connected to New York’s underworld, though he presents a somewhat different, more legal, face to the rest of the world. However, it’s also rumoured that he has strict rules as to what he considers acceptable illegal behaviour.
6. Molly is the deputy grey ambassador and few humans have ever reported meeting it in person at the embassy. Those that have, have said that the grey is not the most personable of their kind and that it doesn’t appear to like dealing with humans at all.
7. New York Grey was created by fictional leakage about advanced aliens called greys. However, there are rumours that some of the greys have discovered the truth about the recursions and the Strange, and have started preliminary explorations in manners not dissimilar to their fictional counterparts.
8. One, generally not believed, rumour about the greys is that they are somehow sexually stimulated by humans. This is most often heard in jokes, but recently there have been other rumours saying that those who have tried to discover if there is any truth behind the jokes have tended to disappear.
9. The Grey Embassy is located near the UN Plaza, though there are rumours that the greys also have a significant presence inside the United Nations building itself, hidden amongst the many rooms and offices to be found within the place.
10. The jokes of Amy, the popular grey comedian at Club Gr3y, have become a lot darker recently, and some have wondered just what’s up with her. It’s said that the jokes have been taking on a turn dark enough that attendees are becoming uncomfortable.
