When characters are asking around for information, or getting it from other sources, they may hear rumours and bits of other information.

This supplement has 100 rumours that they could hear on the Crucible. Whether or not any rumour is true is up to the GameMaster. They can be used as background colour or as potential adventure hooks.

To use the list, either roll d100 for a random result or select appropriate ones manually.

49. Partum Mechanica is the centre of technological innovation of the Saurian Republic and off-limits to most outsiders, leading to all kinds of rumours about just what the saurians have been experimenting on there. There are also rumours about just what the saurians do to those who try to infiltrate the city-state, and even claims that entire civilisations have disappeared thanks to trying to pry into the saurians’ secrets.

50. Perhaps unlike Logos, the experiments of the Martian Elders rarely tend to end as explosively or with strange things happening to the surroundings. It’s rumoured that some Elders believe that Mars needs to take more chances with their experiments if they are to dominate the Crucible and that a page should be taken out of the Logos book. And if a few replaceable or unimportant things are destroyed in the process, so be it.

51. Philosophy is now the dominant force in the Saurian Republic, not the military might and expansionism that came before it. It’s rumoured that sometimes philosophical arguments amongst the saurians can become just as vicious and bloody as there wars ever were, though no outsider can claim to have actually seen the truth of these rumours.
