Just add one of the Planeshift bigest hoax, the mysterious massive sinkhole on the road between Hydlaa and Ojaveda.

Yeah, I tried starting one a while back. I think it was the \"Kixie Journal\" If I remember correctly. Anyhow it only ran 2 issues. There just isn\'t alot of news in planeshift. I guess you would have a few issues to talk about during the wipe and recent news, just don\'t expect alot of outside help or periods of tons of news. Good luck on the paper, I look foward to reading it later. :]

Thanks for the advice Kixie - I actually came from another game - Eternal Pain.... sorry Eternal Lands and I ran the Newspaper there almost single-handed so I know what you mean about \'no outside help\' although I\'ve had more support from my Guild here (ELite) than what I ever did back there.  It suits me fine not to have tons of news, then people won\'t expect an issue every week :]  and besides I have a lot of fun just searching for a good story.

If anyone wants an example copy of my previous newspaper \'The EL Times\' just email theeltimes@yahoo.com with the subject = \'Example Copy\'.  Then you\'ll know the sort of standard \'The PS Times\' will be.

Another one? I think I must\'ve seen six incarnations of \'Planeshift Times\' come and go by now.

I don\'t see anything original with this one, so good luck. :)

Hopefully you\'ll have more steam going for you than the Planeshift comic project...

Back in the middle ages books could be seen only in possession of rich people. That\'s because there were no machines to copy the form, everything was copied by hand. In other words books were expensive. That might be a reason why there weren\'t any newspapers and most of all why they wouldn\'t be free. Spreading news was bards\' job.

But as long as you have fun out of it and I don\'t have to deal with it, it doesn\'t bother me...

I made The EL Times a huge success against all odds - take a look at it. email theeltimes@yahoo.com and I\'ll send you a copy, I think you\'ll find it anything but boring!!

But this is not the middle-ages, this is a land of fantasy.  This is what you make it.  Legends in the making.

wow, your name, is whoa ... let\'s just say very very very similar to a person very very very dear to me :P

 This is a good idea, but already tried many times before as Mogura said. Though, this time might actually work and \"stay around\", so if you need any help, just contact me :)

You have two options with this newspaper thing.

One, make up a lot of stupid, pointless stories about a lot of stupid, pointless things, completely unrelated to Planeshift, or two, wait until more content is added to the game. There simply isn\'t enough stuff going on for a newspaper service to run itself and actually get readers.

But yeah... Good luck. You\'ll need it. :)

If the guy can RP then there will be lots of things to write about. You just need to have some imagination Grono. People will probably be more interested in reading now than in the future, considering how the game doesn\'t have very much to offer right now.

It\'s not because it has been done before that this newspaper won\'t work. Good luck, but you probably won\'t need it ;)
