In the first session of the campaign, my players' attention was drawn to the notice board in the Rusty Dragon.* A quick scan of the description in the Sandpoint appendix gave me no idea what sort of notices would be posted there.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
* One of my players has already started calling it the "Lusty Dragon" jokingly. I've told him the joke's been done, but I'm not stopping him.
Do a search on the Kingmaker board for "wanted poster" and you'll see some suggestions for generating side-quests, clues etc. I want to use the Rusty Dragon board for the same reason. Maybe even throw in some silly notices, like "Lonely hobbit? Give Sauron a ring"
I'm looking for a blank notice board if anyone has one.
The little side quests from the Pathfinder comics make good bounty board notices. For the first one, I made a notice from Brodert Quink that he had dropped his spyglass over junkers edge and was offering a reward. They went to go search for it and stumbled upon the goblins that found it. It also got them to meet Brodert.
I also had a notice from the owner of the Goblin Squash Stables offering gold for goblin ears (one player immediately went outside to start lopping off ears from the goblin corpses left from the raid).
I had one that offered a reward for proof of the Sandpoint Devil (which a player has become obsessed with finding), and one for rare herbs from the areas around Sandpoint (so there is always something to do if one player is tired of being in town but the others aren't done).
I had a few flavor ones too, such as auditions at the playhouse, and a want ad for reporters for the Sandpoint Gazette (a newspaper I am making for the board every few sessions so they see how the town responds to their actions).
SubtleSanity, those are some great ideas. Grimbold I suggest mining the "Sandpoint Hinterlands" section for ideas, as well as a bounty on goblin ears by Daverin Hosk (I made this roughly equivalent to the price of the goblin's equipment, seeing as my PCs werent in the habbit of stripping down every corpse they made) but didnt use the board itself very much.
