Bjorfrost's d100 University Rumors | D&D 5e & Fantasy Games

Introduction

We've all been there—struggling as a Dungeon Master to come up with sudden dialogue or intrigue when our players finally want to know more about the world around them. You grope for something fun or clever or interesting, and most of the time, you deliver on that, but you know you're going to run out of steam eventually. Enter Bjorfrost's d100 Rumors, a series of fantasy-centric rumors meant to enrich your campaign:

• Zero Prep, More Depth
• Plug-and-Play rumors doubling as opportunities, intrigue, warnings, or even Adventure Hooks. 
• Not mere one-liners—every rumor is fleshed out with dialogue and narrator to give you exactly what you need without overwhelming you or your players. 

Bjorfrost's d100 University Rumors focuses on academies (magical and mundane), students, sages, professors, and all manner of subjects evocative of:  

• The Magicians (2015)
• Community (2009)
• A Wizard of Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin
• The Scholomance series by Naomi Novik
• That one really famous series featuring a British boy with a lightning bolt scar that we don't dare mention for fear of legal wrath. 

Still need convincing? Take a peak at the rumors below and ask yourself if $3 still isn't too affordable a price to buy this 20+ page Zine.
