D8: The Strange Rumours – Ardeyn: Kryzoreth
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 eight 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.
- Several groups from out of the area have recently set up in Kryzoreth, and have the same sorts of charms as the cliffwalkers that suppress dreams. The groups seem to be martially inclined, and appear to be looking for something specific. It’s rumoured that a number of their members have been turning up dead in the mornings.
- The caravansaries that the Iron Road maintains around Ardeyn are rumoured to be places where unusual experiences and odd items can be rented or found. Some claim that these experiences and items would cause trouble if they were discovered, as the Iron Road is providing things that are illegal in most places.
- The cliffwalkers of the Long Way Down guild regularly climb down the edges of Ardeyn to see what they can recover there, especially as cyphers are far more common than they are in the Borderlands. The work is dangerous, with not only the risk of falling to their deaths, but also the extreme weather of the Borderlands and dangerous creatures. Recently, though, it’s rumoured that the guild headquarters is investigating what appears to be a larger than normal percentage of cliffwalkers being killed or simply failing to return.
- The Hulks of Kryzoreth are partly stone and partly alive, being sentient entities that form a series of rounded hills. It’s not known what the hulks are, only that they haven’t stirred. Recently, though, there have been some reports in the area of the ground shaking; perhaps an ordinary earth tremor, or perhaps what happens when a hill-sized creature starts to move.
- The Iron Road is a caravan and courier guild that connects Kryzoreth to the rest of Ardeyn, but it’s rumoured that recently a number of their caravans have disappeared in the vicinity of the Hulks of Kryzoreth. It’s said that not that many have gone missing, but the Iron Road still wants the disappearances investigating.
- The Long Way Down Guild, whose members are known as cliffwalkers, keep their headquarters in Kryzoreth, though they wear dreamstone charms to keep the dreams of the area away, as they find them disturbing, not being natives. There are rumours that the natives of Kryzoreth strongly dislike the use of these charms and are planning to kill the soul sorcerer who creates them, as well as destroy as many of them as they can.
- There are hollowed out cavities in the Hulks of Kryzoreth in which those who claim noble blood live. It’s not known how deep the cavities run, with rumour claiming that they connect to the land of dreams. Some outsiders claim that what the cavities connect to is far worse than anything as tame as a dream realm, and that they may even lead to Lotan’s nightmares.
- Those who sleep near the Hulks of Kryzoreth have strange dreams; the residents of the area gain special contentment from the dreams with the most gifted dreamers claiming noble blood. Transients, though, find the dreams to be nightmares beyond description and take measures to keep sleep away. The natives seem to share contentment, tranquillity and peaceful ways, but there are rumours that this is just what shows on the surface, and that the dreams have a much deeper and darker effect on them, one that outsiders never see.

D10: Night City Rumours – Corporate Plaza
10 Hooks and Rumours for Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.’s Night City
This list has ten hooks and rumours that can be heard in or about the Corporate Plaza in the Corporate Centre district of Night City. Whether or not they are true is up to the GameMaster. They can be used as background colour or as potential adventure hooks.
- Arasaka Plaza & Tower in Night City’s Corporate Plaza is the main office of the American division of the company, and has some of the toughest security around. It’s rumoured that Arasaka will anonymously hire freelancers to attempt to break into the tower for a lot of money, physically or electronically, to test their own defences. It’s also said that no-one has succeeded at this and those that have failed have been killed by Arasaka.
- It’s rumoured that there was very nearly a nasty accident at the Orbital Air tower in Corporate Plaza. It’s said that an AV-4 came very close to crashing into the tower rather than landing on the pad. Furthermore, there are claims that this was caused by sabotage in a deliberate attack against the company, possibly by a competitor or possibly by someone just trying to cause trouble.
- Microtech Center in Night City’s Corporate Plaza already has high security on the building, but it’s rumoured that the company has been increasing it even more, primarily by hiring more human security guards. There are suggestions that perhaps some of the electronic security systems were compromised in a digital attack recently.
- People in Corporate Plaza for whatever reason have reported an increase in traffic to and from Merrill, Asukaga & Finch, more than would be expected from the employees and those clients who would have occasion to visit the company. Reputedly, a lot of the increased traffic is in limos, expensive hire cars and other vehicles suggesting that the visitors are wealthy, important, out of towners or a combination of these.
- Petrochem International has only a relatively small office in Night City’s Corporate Plaza, with the only public access being to a small museum along with the gift shop and public relations department. Security is high in the building, yet apparently someone managed to scrawl anti-oil graffiti inside the museum without anyone witnessing it. Petrochem is apparently keeping the matter close to the chest whilst they find out what happened.
- Raven Microcybernetics’ global headquarters is in Night City’s Corporate Plaza, which has a small manufacturing area as well as a large R&D section. It’s rumoured that the building’s manufacturing area is where the company tries out some new designs that are being kept very tightly held, whether this be to stop corporate espionage or because the designs might skirt, or even dance right over, the law’s limits.
- The Infocomp Building in Corporate Plaza has only one public facility, a huge digital research library that can only be accessed from within the building, due to the sensitivity of the material. However, it’s rumoured that, despite the tight security, a netrunner and their team managed to briefly link up a connection from the research library to the outside, stealing a lot of information before most, but not all, of the team was caught.
- The main office for Euro Business Machines, International’s American division is in the Corporate Plaza of Night City. Also located in the Plaza are the regional offices for Microtech International, and it’s rumoured that the two companies have a quiet war of netrunners going on, as each attempts to breach the security of the other. It’s not known if this is a series attempt to attack the other company, or just employees of the two having fun and sharpening their skills.
- The West City Tower in Corporate Plaza is full of hundreds of different businesses and outlets of all types, some catering directly to the public, but more not, unlike the Plaza Business Tower. It’s rumoured that quite a few organisations, criminal, governmental and others that have activities they wish to conduct in relative anonymity rent spaces in the tower where they are lost as just one amongst many, unless something gets out of hand and calls attention to them.
- There have been reports of a trade in counterfeit tickets for Network News 54’s shows that are filmed before a live audience. Though those with the counterfeit tickets don’t tend to get in, because there are more tickets than there are seats to the shows, the counterfeits are good enough to get past security and ill will is building in people who have been turned away after buying what they thought were genuine tickets. It’s rumoured that Net 54 is planning to hire some specialists to permanently deal with the problem at its source.
