Sure, it was there, and it was fraggin huge... but how do we know the
Tibetans summoned it? maybe it was summoned by the Chinese, who wanted us
to think it was Tibetan...

On that note, who uses those little blurbs on the screamsheets to seed a
new run? Just to give you ideas or such things?

Personally, if I was a political power and *I* summoned a mountain-sized
fire elemental, I'd want people to *know* it was mine. >8->

I used to, back when FASA was still doing 'em.. I seem to recall that
there was a project talked about a few years ago (back when I was running
the ShadowGM list) to create newssheets based on the exploits of our
various PC teams, but other than one guy who posted his own stuff nobody
was doing much about it.

That one guy's stuff was very cool, though. Wish I could remember who it
was, so I could thank him for the idea (which I've used repeatedly) that
Kate Bush is a spike baby elf, and still sings at clubs in the 2050's..
