Location Seed: Lou’s Evil Books.
Lou is a stinker. If something ever happened to him, I wouldn’t shed a tear.
Location Seed: Ijekeland.
Group/Location Seed: The Department of Correlations.
I dunno what they were doing, either. Probably something important. Maybe let the players tell you what that is? That’s always a handy gaming hack.
Location Seed: The Zoomway.
I don’t know who made it, either.
Location Seed: Lake Carmi Survival Facility.
I basically decided to look at a random spot on the map and say, “What could I put there that was interesting?” I found a lake. You bury stuff in lakes, right?
Location Seed: PanAm DC-8 [X] Waynesville Anomaly.
PanAm DC-8 [X] Waynesville Anomaly
Good afternoon! At 5:23 Eastern time an unknown aircraft appeared over the airspace of Waynesville-St. Robert Regional Airport in Missouri, then made an emergency landing. Air traffic reported that the aircraft ‘just [expletive deleted] appeared out of nowhere’ and ‘went for the runway like a bat out of Hell.’ The airport had enough time to clear the runway and assemble a fire crew, which was fortunately not required: the aircraft came close to crashing, but managed to stop safely. No radio messages were received or acknowledged during the crash landing.

The Pool of Terre Haute
57 S 21st Street, Terre Haute, Indiana
Description: two story single-family residence, wooden frame, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, car park to the side, decent yard in back. Unoccupied, but maintained. There is a hatch in the basement that leads to a pre-Columbian underground stone-lined room. The room has a shallow (1ft deep) pool in the exact center: there is no obvious water source, but the water is continually clear and fresh.
Properties: variable. Drinking from the pool results in a dramatic transformation of some sort. The effects range from the mundane (winning the lottery, going blind) to the unquestionably esoteric (de-aging, bodily transformation, instant and irrevocable death), but the effects are always permanent, and people only get one drink from the Pool. Theurgists and magicians both report that the anima behind the Pool is essentially benevolent, but it is neither ‘nice’ nor ‘sentimental.’ At least, towards adults; the Pool is remarkably more forgiving and solicitous of children.
Location Seed: Rutherford College.
Rutherford College
Type: Four-year college (B.S., B.Eng, M.Eng)
Founded: 1949
Location: Milburn, Nebraska
Attendance: 8,000
Faculty to Student ratio: 1:12
Accreditation: ABET
Rutherford College is located more or less in the center of Nebraska, and is considered a very good but not unusual engineering/technical school. Students generally live and spend most of their time on campus, as the surrounding community does not offer many amenities for students; in fact, many of the locals traditionally go to the Rutherford campus instead for their entertainment. The college offers reduced tuition and a fairly solid Associates program for local residents; most townies who go past a high school education started their college careers at Rutherford.
Location seed: the USS Oriskany Special Consulate.
USS Oriskany Special Consulate
You know, they don’t normally sink upright aircraft carriers with the Oriskany’s combat record. There’s the matter of all those ghosts that will come along for the ride, you see. But then, the ghosts are sort of the point.
