That sounds good. Not perfect, but good enough to work with it, I think.

Yeah, but unfortunately that's nearly unusable if I don't want to take 
away my players' control of their characters. It's a shame, this 
foreshadowing would've been really, really cool.

That should work. Any other good examples? 
The problem I see is that at least some of my players are very 
plot-fixated and probably won't fall for any of these hooks. Whether I 
let one of my GMC run a tattoo shop or a flower shop won't make that 
much difference to them. But I'll try it anyway.

Thanks to all of you, you've been very helpful. I'll let you know how it 
all works out.

bye
Alex
