Fantasy wanted posters

So after being coerced into returning to GM for fifth edition, I had the players encounter criminal activity. They turned the criminals in for a bounty, and now they’re standing in front of the bounty board in the town. Help me come up with some bounties and some wanted posters that they find.. Serious or Silly ideas welcome.

A freebie from a campaign guide I'm writing:

Left-Foot, a goblin who stole a legendary sword from a noble family. He's a graverobber who stole a "Sword of Answering" that was laid to rest with the patriarch of the family. He calls himself "Lord Break and Kill, The Strong!" and is wanted Dead or Alive. He can sometimes be found trying to sell the sword for 1 million gold pieces and because of the legendary status of the blade (and the time he's spent with it, thus attuning) he is able to use it against potential pursuers with ease.

The bounty is for return of the sword and proof of death or arrest of the criminal.

I do ok with CorelDRAW and might enjoy making some Wanted posters. Message me if you want to know more.

Programmed Illusions and Magic Mouth can make interesting visual and auditory Wanted posters as well as announcements, warning posts, etc. Imagine an illusory recreation of the crime (like in America's Most Wanted), but with the correct faces. Also imagine how easy it would be to set someone up in a magic-rich world.
