[Many people have tried to get a news source going in game but it hasn't been able to really take. But, I had an idea that might make it a bit easier. Maybe if we pare it down into short news stories, cut down on the overhead and distribution issues, and *cough*make stuff up*cough* it will help drive things in game to the point where some of the news stories might actually be connected to or inspire in game RP.
If you have an idea for a short news bulletin then feel free to post it but keep the news IC and within reason. It's not likely that Hydlaa will have been ransacked by creatures from the labyrinths just yet.
This isn't an RP thread however. If there is enough interest in it we might start an IC thread where characters can interact with each other over the news. This will help with communicating across time zones.]
