I included a ton of future plot hooks, such as maps and references to mysterious places and artifacts. When we play again, the adventures already have framework. When the book was found, written in drow and babylonian, it became so popular that one of the players didn't want to let it go. I had to pry it from her when we were done every night.

I used an iron mug, with a few coins inside, to make noise, and leaned the mug towards one of the players. Inside there was a folded paper with a message. When he saw it, he pretended to place a coin in the mug and took the paper without the other guys noticing. :) Very funny!
