That's cool. I like the idea that I'll have something handy to help me improv at a moments notice. You could use this to come up with the details of murals and tapestries too. Thanks!
And it doesn't even matter if the stories are true, as long as the PC's pay the guy he'll keep spinning yarns. :)
Nice work!
A good in-game story can be fun, even if the storyteller is lying.
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale of a fateful trip. A poor mountaineer who barely kept his family fed was bringing up three very lovely girls. The weather started getting rough. The kinfolk said "Move away from there"..and that's the way they all became the Brady Bunch.
