(Something like the newspapers in the Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Game).I have nobles and gentry offering them jobs.  As successful adventurers they have people inviting them to parties and other events to make impressions. (In my game since adventuring companies are chartered by the crown, adventurers are required to take jobs from nobles if they meet certain payment criteria.)  I encourage town adventures to be solved by means other than combat but because it isn't popular with all the players I try to limit them. Working within constraints is popular with some of the players just not all of them.</blockquote>
