Dangerous terrain, haunted places, angry natives, and even unpleasant beverages; name some elements in your campaign that should be given a wide berth.
Obviously these are beings and things in the setting the tourist should avoid but which Player Characters would likely run towards.
A number of these have already been mentioned, Ratfolk infested Old Eureka. The bizarre ecosystem inside the ruins of Calpoly. There are a few more Ruins that I haven't delved into, though.
The main one that might be spoken of would be Crescent City. I haven't come up with a cool post-apocalyptic name for it yet, so that's just the present day name. It is dominated by a few, immensely powerful telepaths who control the rest of the population. The control is so complete that the people of the city are functionally zombies. Travelers exploring the region have noted the mindless hordes and fearfully speculate what would cause a person to join them.
There are two other Ruins that might not get talked about much. McKinleyville (again, just the modern name) is a graveyard. In one of my previous posts here, I linked it to the pilgrimage from Squatch-ville to Ureka, but that's the most development it's received thus far.
Hupa is actually very exciting. I believe I've compared it to a Native American Area 51. But one of the reasons it's comparable to Area 51 is that nobody really knows about it. I'm assuming it came to be in a very turbulent time, during the War That Ended Everything, so whatever happened there didn't make it into either local lore or the history books. Maybe rumors, but not strong ones.
