Town Notice Board

Having notice boards in the centre of your towns and cities is an excellent way of getting your players up-to-date with recent events in game, providing them with plot hooks to further the campaign, or generally provide an extra level of depth to your world. Some can be serious, and some can be jokey, to lighten the mood a bit. There is also the option to have them develop side stories as they can be wonderful plot devices.

The following table was compiled by u/Gentleman_Narwhal, using the many ideas of the r/DnD community. Have fun when generating your notice boards, but remember - Please Notice Board Responsibly.
