Once there was a man named Bartholus
Who called himself Sir Knight
And firmly stood where darkness fell
As a defender of the Light
It was in one such dark places
he found himself on a moonless night
and cursed for his lack of planning
to only pick tools to fight
Then suddenly his eyes saw shimmers
of globes of eerie, blue, and bright
so giddily he ventured forth
ignoring wisdom with all his might
Seconds later, sinking in thin sand
He was contemplating his every plight
and suddenly came to realize
It's not all good piercing the night.

I'm preparing a Linnorm Kings/Irrisen campaign and was making a random encounter table. As my players often take Knowledge skills to make it easier for themselves, I am trying to make it easier for myself by writing down all the information with appropriate DCs so I have all the information in one file.
But then I started adding extra information such as tales for bards (of werewolves, hags, and will-o'-wisps so far) and handy tidbits of information on crafting and prices for fur and stuff...
Can't wait to see if those pieces of information will inspire more roleplaying in my group (not that that's such a big problem, they have their great moments) :)
