The newspapers will give some info on major plot developments that happen each month, titles with page numbers for other important things, or just what's happened that month.
Here's a preview of what they'll look like:
(Front page, and "inside". Click on image for larger view)
That's basically what they will look like. There may be comic strips to go along with them as well (relating to that month). That depends on how long stuff like that will take/if anyone is interested or has ideas they'd like to see.
I also thought it would be cool to see some of the other stuff you usually see in real newspapers as well. Like some kind of horoscope, slots where people write questions to someone, advice columns, wanted ads, etc...
That, I know I won't have much time for / the creativity for. At least not every month.
So...if anyone would like to volunteer for something, or have a low-wage job for a particular something, let me know. I've got enough saved up that I could dish out small salaries once a month for anyone that wants to work for the paper.
Volunteers won't be expected to have something finalized every month like a worker would.
Along with that, I thought I'd work on small character specials, like so:
They'll basically have a little (or lot, depending on how active the character is) info on characters that have participated in the world. These will NOT be monthly things...way too much on my plate to try that...but rather updated page by page when we get a new handful of characters.
As you can see, there's also an interview section, and favorite moments section. I'll need everyone's input on that as well. If you want to see an interview with a character, let me know who you want to have interviewed and/or some questions you want to know. I'd also like your favorite moments involving these characters. I'll either have descriptions of them in a bit of a memorable page, or I'll illustrate the scene. Maybe both.
Anyway, not only would this make our guild a little more unique (how many other guilds do you know of that have their own paper?) but it would also help with the SHIELD Files. If some of the big stuff is already stated and given page numbers, it will help us know where some stuff is at when we go into detail on some of them. It'll also satisfy new members a bit until the files are done.
