A couple of weeks ago I set about revitalizing the New Seattle Intelligencer project on the DSF. For those who don't know:

What it is - the NewSI, inspired by the Seattle Intelligencer at the back of many first edition adventures, is a fictional Seattle-based newsfax that provides a cool handout and/or a source for adventure ideas.

How it works - Every month a new thread is opened on the Runs & Run Ideas forum. Everyone is free to post news articles (you'll find the guidelines here). At the end of the month I compile all the articles, edit them together and format them into a 10-page long newsfax handout with a few extras (music and sim charts, sports results, etc). The handout will be available in .doc or .pdf formats and fully "editable" by any GM who wants to use it.

However, the viability of this project is entirely dependent on the people out there in the SR community. We need contributions. If enough people can put together a small article each once a month it's that much easier to get the full thing going on a regular basis. Just a few hundred words every few weeks shouldn't be difficult to most of the creative types around here. ;)

So far we've featured international, sports, crime and city desk, entertainment, media and some corporate news. We'd also like to feature nightclub and restaurant reviews, simflick and album reviews and advertisements.
