TDM Rumors

[thefaulty]

RUMOR HAS IT

INSTRUCTIONS:

▶ Post a top level for each of your characters with the rumors others can find written about them on the walls around Deerington.

▶ As outlined by the TDM, these rumors should be at least partially true, but may be exaggerated or skewed in order to make your character's actions seem more extreme/less sympathetic.

▶ Respond to top-levels with plotting ideas! Did your character read those rumors about their friend/acquaintance/enemy? Did they believe them? Will there be a confrontation? Go wild!
