D10: The Strange Rumours – Recursions: Eleventh Reich II
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.
- Every month the Schule der Archäologie loses one or two research acolytes to various things, such as curses, leaking spells and psychic residue. It’s rumoured that, despite the definite dangers of the things the Schule is dealing with, some of the acolyte losses are those sacrificed by the curators to further their goals.
- Reichsführer Himmler, leader of the SS, is known to have no loyalties to anyone but the Führer. However, it’s rumoured that not even this loyalty is genuine, and that Himmler’s only real loyalty is to himself; his apparent loyalty to the Führer is simply because the existence of the latter means that Himmler has a figurehead to hide behind.
- Rittmeister “Dakota” Hanssen is the man charged with discovering the secrets of the Holy Grail, and he is one of those who ascended; no longer needing sleep meant he was able to accelerate his research on the Grail and some other artefacts, and it’s rumoured that the Rittmeister has since made more discoveries, some of which he has neglected to inform anyone else about.
- The Armor of Karna supposedly protects the wearer from both mundane and supernatural attacks, and this has proven the case for those wearing the armour; however, when one by an officer of the Reich, said officer perishes. It’s said that the duration before they die increases with each sacrifice, and it’s rumoured that the Schule der Archäologie is looking for a specific something to sacrifice to the armour.
- The library of the Eleventh Reich’s Schule der Archäologie stores many different books, including many on subjects that, by the strict terms of the Reich, would be banned and should have been burned. It’s said that some of the more fanatical still seek to get these forbidden books destroyed.
- The Reich’s Schule der Archäologie is reputed to have many mythological objects stored there, although some believe these numbers to be exaggerated. It’s rumoured, though, that the Schule has some relics that are not listed in any of their catalogues; though there are very few of these, they are said to be very dangerous, and dangerous to the Reich itself.
- The SS is known to have captured at least two recursors, and there are rumours that a special group within it has been set up by Reichsführer Himmler, one whose main purpose is to track all such recursors, with the aim of capturing them and stripping them of any useful items.
- There are a large number of zombies housed by the Schule der Archäologie, thanks to experiments with the Holy Grail, and there are rumours about these zombies, ranging from them being deliberately made from the Schule’s enemies, to them being an army the Schule is building, to there having been a number of incidents where the zombies escaped and attacked anyone they encountered.
- Those of the Reich who touch the Spear of Longinus are turned into a burning pillar of flame, and it’s rumoured that the Schule der Archäologie has been collecting the charred remains of these officers, perhaps with the belief that they may have properties all of their own.
- Waffen-SS soldiers are the largest part of the SS and its armed soldiers, serving as both military and police units in the Reich. It’s rumoured that some of the Waffen-SS are soldiers who are never seen without face-covering gas masks, and that these masks are not to protect the wearers from gas but to hide the fact that’s what’s beneath them isn’t human.

D10: Europe Rumours – Benelux
10 Hooks and Rumours for Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.’s Europe
This list has ten hooks and rumours that can be heard about the Benelux countries; Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Whether or not they are true is up to the GameMaster. They can be used as background colour or as potential adventure hooks.
- Amsterdam is very popular with tourists and it generates a lot of money for the Dutch economy from this. It’s rumoured that there are occasional attempts to sabotage the tourist trade in Amsterdam, possibly by other European cities or countries that want to scoop it up, with Berlin and Germany being favourites.
- Brussels is the heart of the EC and the presence of so many EC employees, and all those who cluster where the centre of power is, results in many average Belgians being trampled underfoot. It’s said that the average Belgian is getting sick of this, but hasn’t been able to find a way to fight back.
- In the Netherlands, the country was forced to abandon some of its hard-won lowlands and retreat behind higher and thicker seawalls. There’s reputedly a push to try and reclaim some of the lost lands, using the dome technologies that were pioneered in the Scandinavian Bloc.
- It’s rumoured that the Netherlands is seeking allies in the EC outside of the Low Countries to help them deal with Germany once and for all, as the latter country has designs on Holland that the Dutch have no interest in facilitating, and the Dutch are therefore seeking to increase their influence.
- Just about any sexual experience can be found in Amsterdam’s red-light district, including some that are illegal. It’s rumoured that there have been attempts to crack down on the really illegal things, but this has proven difficult, thanks to what appears to be support in high places.
- Luxembourg is essentially the banking capital of the EC, at least when it comes to money of more dubious origin. Though Luxembourg itself isn’t bothered where such money comes from, Interpol is, and it’s rumoured that various of Interpol’s directorates have tried to get people on the inside of Luxembourg’s banks.
- Much of the Netherlands is used to grow flowers for export, a luxury item and a highly profitable trade. It’s rumoured that recently some of the flower fields have been suffering from blight, ruining the crop, and that there’s evidence this blight has been tailored, suggesting a deliberate attack.
- Soft drugs are easy to get in Holland and, though illegal, little is done to crackdown on their use. This results in said drugs being exported to other members of the EC, and it’s said that some are unhappy about this and want the Netherlands to be forced to do more about controlling the trade.
- The super-port complex that built up around the original port of Oostende in Belgium now takes up all of the country’s coastline and extends up to 15 km inland. It’s rumoured that some within Belgium want the port restructuring so that they have access to the coast once more, and that some are willing to encourage parts of the port to move by destroying them.
- The United Benelux Congress is the government that runs all three countries and gives them a united voice in the EC, but some within the countries are unhappy about the current representation their own countries have, even though this is defined by population. Some believe that, for whatever reason, they should have more people in congress than their population gives them a right to.
