> I swear there are rumors that other people hear that I never do ... yet I get duplicates routinely *from the same barkeep/whatever* some right after one another.Not entirely surprising. Some NPCs are more talkative than others. Some rumors are more rare than others. If you are closer to an area where a lot of rumors are originating, you'll probably have a much larger pool to draw from at any given moment.
All of these factors can lead to an NPC only knowing a handful of rumors, and if they only have 2 common and 2 rare to choose from, odds are you are just going to hear the 2 common ones over and over most of the time, especially if they are a stingy NPC. People are just starting to use the system again, and hopefully as time goes by we'll see a much better spread, and far more fun rumors to find. My goal is to personally add at least 10 new GM rumors per province per month. Hopefully more, but that's a minimum target for me. Just give it a bit more time, and hopefully you'll get not only more player rumors, but some useful (event hints, treasure clues, etc) GM rumors as well!
