The new and improved Dragon's Whisper!
« on: August 23, 2007, 09:22:06 am »
Before Nibor left, he whipped up a system to help me get The Dragon's Whisper ingame newsletter out to you folks.  With the hard work of Chongo and Dorganath (and many others I am sure) the massive update includes this work.  As some of you may have noticed there is now a wee paperboy in Hempstead.  (I've asked to have him moved to Stormcrest shack area so it is ICly accessible to all races/alignments.)

The paperboy is now selling an issue of the newsletter that I wrote a few months back.  (I know his floaty text still says "soon" but he is selling them now.)  Since I write the original copy of the newsletter ingame with the quill system, the newsletter's readability is greatly improved with color. You will find that the topics in it are still relevant and I hope that a new issue can be written to expand upon them.

Hope to hear from more of your PCs soon.  Enjoy the read!

I thought I'd give others the chance to try their hand at writing an ingame newsletter.  Here's how it works:

First, write up your fancy work on a parchment.  The Dragon's Whisper is long enough that I need to use the lengthy parchment (10k characters), but smaller ones work too.  You only need to buy one of them, so price isn't really an issue.

Feel free to make use of all the various colors.  For example, I found that writing PC names in green really makes them standout when quickly scanning through the writing.

Now, arrange to get your work to me so I can stock the paperboy.  Issues must be prepaid for at 25gp each in increments of 10.  (Minimum investment of 250gp.)  The price that they are sold at can be set at 50gp or 100gp.

For new / poor PCs, my character will front you the funds to publish your work.  Depending on demand for this service, your publication could be sold for several weeks.  Only one publication may be sold at a time.  Changing publications discards any unsold credit.

Topics for publication:  Collection of poems, eulogies for dead friends, church news, horoscopes, etc.

PM me so we can arrange a time to meet ingame when you have something to publish.  Don't forget to advertise on the forums and stir up interest!

Good luck!

That one is all Dorg and Nibor bud.  Glad it is working the way you'd hoped.

I won't be able to log in for a few days, so if a GM wants to take the reins of helping people with this, PM me.
