“Greta, I have to see you again. My bethroted suspects foul play. Contact me at The Priest’s Rest so that we can finish our business before the wedding.”

Not all help wanted signs are posted because someone is looking for help from the characters. You can use notes and posters to give your players clues into what is going on in the capital and to foreshadow coming events. Notes like the one above can also raise a lot of questions that makes the players think and to pay attention to what’s happening around them. Is someone planning a wedding? Can they find out who’s getting married? Can they profit from the information gleaned from the note?

There is always someone looking for information about someone else, or about their affairs of various sundry natures. They might offer rewards for gossip, or employ spies or bounty hunters. What the people do with the information varies, but blackmail for favours is fairly common among the aristocracy of Altdorf, as is using information to thwart business competitors.
