Hi all of you who has remained,

*The Grey Lurker steps out of the smoke still hanging low on the
battlefield, which until so recently was filled with the screams of the
falling warriors in The Third Succession Flaming War. He brushes napalm dust
off his coat, holds his head high and, trying to forget the painful memory
of innocent victims, dares to raise a question:*

I've become a news junkie.

No, I do not constantly have a TV on with CNN - I mean Shadowrun news.

I've got a players-only website (Called "SeaNet = Seattle Networks), where
we continue the game between sessions. On the site I have, amongst other
things, a news section, to give life to the Seattle and surroundings.

In the Old Days, Shadowrun adventures always had a section with 6-7 news
flash to give as handouts. These, and others of the same kind, I have used
on my site along with selfmade news. However, it's hard to get new
inspiration.

SO: (*The Grey Lurker looks around at the crowd, takes a deep breath
and...*) Do any of you have news like this lying around, that you will share
with me? As they might be OT, maybe you should send them off-list.

Thanks in advance!

*The Grey Lurker steps down and paitently awaits jugement from the
rabble...*

We play our game set in Toronto, UCAS and our GM has a
'screamsheet' section of his website which is a mockup of
"The Toronto Sun".

We've had most of our runs, or their results, come from
or turn up in the screamsheets. It makes for an interesting
game.

Check out the Shadowrun Toronto Website at

Head to the 'screamsheets' link(s).

>Thanks in advance!

No Problem.
