D8: The Strange Rumours – Ardeyn: The Green Wilds
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.
- An enormous petrified tree in the Green Wilds is home to the largest sark lair in the area, but they do not completely dominate it. Huge spiders with too many legs and centipedes with the voices of children also lair there, and sometimes emerge to hunt the sark. Some claim that these creatures would wipe out all the sark if they could, and that perhaps they are related in some way.
- Calandria, of the storm circle southeast of Telenbar, is a bitter enemy of the Oracle of Ardeyn, and vice versa, and isn’t welcome in the city of Telenbar. Neither will say why this is the case, but it’s rumoured that both sometimes attempt to recruit assassins to kill the other. If so, none have been successful as yet, which suggests any such attempts are dangerously foolhardy.
- Telenbar is a very large sun oak within the Green Wilds, one that is large enough that it functions as a city for as many as 2,000 people. There are rumours that representatives from Telenbar have been seen in a number of different places, apparently looking into methods of curing trees, leading to the suggestion that perhaps the sun oak itself is ill, perhaps dying.
- The Green Wilds are home to sark, amongst other creatures, and their lairs make the region a dangerous place to wander. It’s rumoured that the numbers of sark encountered in the region has increased recently, though this is difficult to confirm as many who encounter them fail to survive to tell a tale. Should sark numbers be increasing, this will make the region even more dangerous.
- The Oracle of Ardeyn lives on Telenbar and is an enormous serpent who sometimes disappears from time to time, apparently visiting her homeland. There are claims that, when she returns from that place, she is often different in some way, usually with regards to her personality and memory, not remembering meetings and acting strangely, though after a few days she returns to normal again.
- The Stag Knights are an order of hunters and trackers with a guildhouse in Telenbar. Sometimes terrible monsters from the Age of Myth appear in the present day, and the knights then hunt them down. Some claim that the knights are the ones bringing forth the monsters, so that they can appear to be heroes by hunting them.
- The very rare tree known as the star sapling can be found in the Green Wilds. These trees drop white fruits that either have healing qualities or contain a seed that jets off on a blast of fire away from Ardeyn. Someone has placed a bounty on as many of these seeds as can be caught, which is difficult given what happens when they are found, as it seems they are hoping to grow their own orchard of the trees.
- Treasure seekers in the Green Wilds are looking for a portal mouth that supposedly leads to a subrealm where an ancient qephilim city still survives, though it might be a city in the Age of Myth, rather than a place at the current time. It’s rumoured that a number of qephilim artefacts have been turning up in communities in the Green Wilds, all apparently traded for supplies and other things by a small group. Some wonder if the qephilim city has finally been found by a group of treasure seekers.

D10: Night City Rumours – City Centre
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 City 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.
- Fantasy Unlimited in the city centre is a business that helps their clients’ fantasies come true, through their network of contacts. Some claim that Fantasy Unlimited will make any dream come true, no matter what it is, but it’s rumoured that those who’ve believed that and have tried to ask for something like that have either wound up getting an unexpected visit from the NCPD or have simply disappeared.
- Grandmill in the City Centre is the place for people with too much money to burn to shop, where they can find things to suit even the most jaded tastes. And rumour has it, that anything means just that; anything. It’s said that those in the know can buy things that are definitely illegal and often horrendous in nature.
- La Croix in the City Centre is considered to be the most trendy restaurant in Night City. At least by the trendy magazines. The food and service are, however, excellent, though this doesn’t tend to draw in non-trendy clientele. Rumour has it that the owner, Jaqueline duBenalle, has extensive contacts with journalists working for the trendy magazines to ensure her restaurant always remains on the list of trendy places to eat.
- Mbole Ebunike, the mayor of Night City, has grown tired of being a toady for the corporations. In turn, the corporations have grown tired of the man they groomed for office behaving as if he had a will of his own. Ebunike is usually unavailable these days, even when in his office, and it’s rumoured that he now has a second office elsewhere after his security had to deal with visitors who were not so much irate as paid assassins.
- Night City City Hall is in the City Centre is a bustling place filled with all sorts of lobbyists, corps, execs, government employees and special interest groups. This abundance of people with power, or who are close to those who have power, means that there is a lot of, to the right people, valuable information floating around. Despite City Hall’s security, there are rumours that information still manages to be acquired from it, and some wonder if it’s that same security acquiring it.
- Night City Museum in the City Centre has a collection with a lot of valuable items in it. The more valuable the item, the more likely it is to be found in the underground areas which have tighter security. There are rumours, though, that sometimes-valuable items end up being placed in the upper areas, and then stolen, suggesting perhaps that someone who works for the museum is deliberately placing valuable items where they, or a partner, can steal them.
- The Del Cornanado Bay Journal, based in the City Centre, is the home of an old-fashioned newspaper and a source of unbiased news. It’s rumoured that the paper has been looking into increasing security recently, as some are objecting to the unbiased approach and are suggesting it would be in everyone’s best interests, and particularly those who work at the paper, to add an element of bias.
- The NCART City Center Station has a lot of juviegangers that avoid doing anything technically illegal when they are dealing with clients, and the fact that these clients are usually wealthy means that the Transit Police rarely crack down on them. It’s rumoured that some of the Transit Police are actively involved with the juviegangers, taking a cut of everything they make in exchange for a guarantee they will never get into trouble.
- There have been attacks on a number of vehicles belonging to the Revere Courier Service recently, and these have always taken place in the City Centre, despite the district and the company’s precautions. Some think these attacks aren’t designed so much to rob the company as to make people start to think their service is not as safe as it could be.
- Totentanz is a club in the top three floors of Burleson Tower in the City Centre, and it’s one where a lot of boostergang members go, and some don’t come back out again due to the patrons getting rowdy. The NCPD lets the club stay open because, for one thing, it cuts down on the numbers of punks on the streets. Rumour has it that the NCPD secretly encourages the violence that happens at Totentanz, ensuring the gangs keep on killing each other.
