Okay, as you've noticed by now the SI thread is back up and running. Everyone is free to post on the IC thread as long as they follow the format and avoid blatant violations of canon information (no news saying Dunkie is still President or announcing the arrival of Aliens with the Comet in 2061). At the end of the month I will compile all the posts in the thread into a "newsfax format" pdf and will place them on a site to download.
News items, reviews and indepth reports should all be done in character and should include the following style guidesline: title in bold [ie. 10 Dead In Fire on Everett Waterfront] jornalist name [ie. IC character name for whoever posted the report to the SI newsfeed] location [ie. List district, city (country)] ---empty line--- main text [paragraphs separated by empty lines if possible] I've already posted a couple of newsitems in the thread for you to use as guidelines. Take a look before you post. Also try to make sure your news report covers the big questions every jornalist should ask: Who? Where? When? How? and Why? This not only rounds out the post better but it also covers most of the basics an enterprising GM needs to turn a particular article into a plothook ;). Obviously this doesn't apply if you're doing a restaurante or nightclub review but even so, the more details you add the more "usable" the material becomes to others readers. So what are you waiting for? Let's get this rolling. (Anyone interested in older issues please try here) |
