I ran a very silly D&D campaign way back in 2014, and provided players with an adventure hook in the form of a classified ad in Adventurer's Monthly, the magazine devoted to the discerning adventurerer. Here are a few of the ads.
Plate Armor: Gently used. Previous owner dropped from great height by a Roc. $900 o.b.o. Contact the Widow Price @ Riverside 223.
Talking Mule: Good worker/conversationalist. $50 o.b.o. Contact Wart the Wise @ Hag’s End.
Singing Sword: Created by the mad wizard Ludicrous the Meek. One handed arming sword that sings a variety of songs (all bawdy). $2,500 o.b.o. Contact Luther the Scolded @ 231 Birdseye View
Maids Wanted: Modern lady seeks competent maids not afraid of getting their hands dirty. Orphans preferred. Contact Erzabet Bathory @ Silent Screams Castle.
Rag Pickers Needed: Do you have poor hygiene, low self-esteem and absolutely no desire to better yourself personally or socially? Does the thought of pulling teeth from corpses, sifting through refuse, and spending your days in the sewers bother you not in the least? Then a career in rag picking might be for you! Contact No Nose Ralph @ the Old Strumpet on Muffin Meadow Lane.
Red headed barbarian woman seeking professional man for LTR. Hobbies include drinking, limb removal and slitting the throats of ginger haters. Contact Red For Life @ Adventurer’s Monthly.
Want to burn out in a blaze of glory rather than go out with a whimper? Once you go succubi that’s all you’ll try. Sure, I’ll leave you a lifeless husk, but I’m worth it. LF STR with anyone. Contact Lisa @ [Redacted to maintain decency].
What classified ads would you have in your RPG setting? There's no need to stick with fantasy, so go nuts!
