* *         what do you think of this idea ?...
* *
* *         We post little news articles (the sort of sidebar you might find in
* * your local paper) about things that have happened in our games.
* *
* *         NOT the mindbogglingy earth shattering stuff, but the small (almost)
* * insiginicent things that happen.
*
* Great idea (just hope everyone keeps *most* of the items small time
* stories, I could see this turn into a campaign flex-off).
* I do have a suggestion for addition to the "HoloNew" for continuity
* sake (if it matters) please list Imperial Calender date or the point
* of timeline the info should (or could) pertain to.  The area of the
* galaxy would also help.   Not saying you couldn't change either if
* you plan to use it.  Just a suggestion...
*
* *
* *         For an example...
*
* Using the destruction of the 1st Death Star in StarWars-A New Hope as
*   0 on the Imperial Calendar, everything before is -year (negative).
* So the date I added to this post is just after Jedi.
*
*
*                                 5 yrs after SW4 / OuterRim Territories
* * Drunk Found Dead in Car Wash
* *
* * Nigel Hoolik was found drowned earlier today in a car wash near the
* * spaceport.  Police are baffeled by this death as Nigel who was a local at
* * the "go figure" bar and grill was said to have no enemies.  Preliminary
* * reports indicate that some form of restaint was used on the body before
* * death.  Witnesses are still being questioned but police are eager to contact
* * the drivers or passengers of a light blue wanderer speeder.
* *
* *         This _murder_ recently occured in my game.  Nigel was 'hired' as
* * driver for the tour bus (open topped thing) the characters rented but after
* * the second near miss in the trafic the players became suspicious.  They
* * decided to ask him to stop and when he didn't they forcibly removed him from
* * the seat and sat him down in the back of the van, fastened his seatbelt and
* * went on thier way.  He promply fell asleep on the back seat and when they
* * decided they should wash the van (guess who had a vomit..) well they forgot
* * that Nigel was asleep..
