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 six 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. Efforts by Zal to recruit Earthborn have apparently been stepped up, as the faction wants to hire them to crew the newly built Resolution. This has led to speculation as to why Zal is wanting Earthborn for this job, which is an unusual employment for them.
2. Melana-shem, a modified Apoptosis-class battle chrysalid, is the captain of the Resolution and by the sounds of it not that popular with either those of Ruk or Earthborn. It’s said that there have been a number of attempts to get her replaced as the ship’s commander, but Zal still considers her the best fit for the job.
3. Stasis chambers can be found all over the Resolution, though most lack stasis equipment as crew members have stasis rings to use should they need to use a chamber. It’s said that those that have stasis equipment are intended to be used as essentially prisons rather than survival chambers.
4. The Resolution is known to be powered by antimatter and has a large amount of it onboard. There are rumours that, whilst it has been waiting to start its mission, those onboard the strangecraft have had to deal with a few attempts to steal at least some of the antimatter by factions wanting it for different purposes.
5. The Resolution is said to have some unusual engines even for a strangecraft, though Zal and its crew seem to have little interest in discussing them outside those who already know. This, perhaps, has made some of the other factions more curious about what the engines are like.
6. Zal has recently constructed a strangecraft called the Resolution, which is in the process of getting a crew for its first voyage into the Strange. Although this is in and of itself unusual, as Zal has never financed a craft of this side, there are rumours that an even larger strangecraft is under construction at an unknown location.
