This is a collection of rumours for the Saga of the Goblin Horde setting from Zadmar Games. These rumours can be used as a source of potential adventure hooks for characters, but whether or not any in particular are true is up to the GameMaster. The rumours are system-neutral so can be used with systems other than Savage Worlds.

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

Here are some sample results:

37. Land sharks are dangerous predators that most sensible goblins avoid, if they can. However, one goblin has come up with the, to them, brilliant idea that the land sharks could be tamed and used as steeds, giving them a truly lethal animal to ride into battle. Most goblins consider such an idea to be insane; not only is there the problem of safely taming the land shark, but how do you ride one underground?

38. Living metal weapons and armour are greatly prized by goblins and there’s a rumour that one of the tribes has recently stumbled onto a previously unknown cache of such. A discovery of this nature could easily result in a lot of fighting, both within the tribe and without, as various goblin bosses and chiefs try to seize this valuable haul.

39. Long ago, the most powerful and intelligent dragons were wiped out, leaving only their lesser descendants alive which, whilst dangerous, are not a match for the ancient beasts going by legend. There’s a rumour that some humans have uncovered something that suggests that one of the ancient dragons is not dead. Perhaps not entirely alive, but not truly dead either. Such a beast could be very deadly for goblins.
