During our game on Saturday I used a Kev the Visionary Devotee to give an augury to the heroes, warning about an up and coming raid. The players then spent over an hour trying to interpret a simple (-ish) three line poem and decide on what action to take if any. If I tried to use a longer story we would still be playing now! ;-)
Apart from that I think it is a good idea to use stories actually in the playing of the game. It adds more colour and texture to the world we are tring to create.
