Have you ever seen a headline or a short article description that sounded just like a campaign prompt? Example, I just happened across this (pic related):
> This town could be yours for $250,000
> Swett, S.D., includes 6 acres of prairie, a garage/tire shop, one home, and the local bar.
> 'A good place to get killed'
... curtsy of a random yahoo tab. Honestly I find myself uncertain whether I'd rather run that or play it, but either way it sounds like a delight for an already established party.
(I haven't read the story myself, but link for anyone interested: /realestate/town-swett-costs-less-house-202739328.html I honestly can't recall whether we can post direct links or not, so just throw it on after the yahoo part.)

It just keeps getting better:
> 'its only home allegedly haunted'
> a man passing through commented that “you need a Bowie knife to get in this place and a chainsaw to get out.”
> The bank even installed new signs for the town. “The old ones had bullet holes in them,”

you're welcome
As a native North Dakotan, this article is hilarious
>"where the Wild West begins"
>ohmahgawd signs have bullet holes in them
>Does your town not have signs with bullet holes in them?
>>43932859
It does, but with a town so small, there's a much higher PROPORTION of signs with bullet holes in them. You'd think they'd keep better care of their signs if they have so few.
>>43932859
No... no, it doesn't afaik. Then again. I'm not living in the USA.
>>43933503
It's kind of a tradition where I'm from to try to be the first person to put a bullet hole in a new sign when the county puts one up.
>>43932859
No, but I have seen one or two on some of the more obscure back-roads around here that I only really know about by being a lifelong resident.

I run Delta Green and Unknown Armies so yeah all the time.

Landslides. Pranks. Yes, indeed...
>>43934514
Ayyyyy
This one has spawned several reactions, including a film.

Florida man reporting. It's really not this bad.
Brb, someone just bit me.
Here's one where the title's pretty boring, but the story itself gets fairly interesting. Enough for a campaign? Mm, seems more like fodder for an extended quest chain, but still good for something.
