TownCrier

TownCrier is the rolling news ticker with all the news that's fit to share about GemStoneIV. The TownCrier channel went live on LNet on March 11, 2016. Hosted by your friendly news anchor, Newsby, the TownCrier is published with ongoing updates by Luxelle and a dedicated creative team.

The project came to be because who wants to have to choose between roleplaying or looking in multiple places for what's going on in GS?

Location

• The newscast is available via Lich on LNet, because it is primarily an out of character resource, you can access it with the command line:
  ;tune TownCrier
  We don't promise 24/7 newscasting, but we're able to do so more often than not.

• Via a daily email at 1pm (Eastern). Register for this email service (handled by MailChimp) at: http://bit.ly/2ivAJfw

• News headlines/links are scrunched down to 140 characters and also echoed at our Twitter Account: https://twitter.com/GemStoneIVNews
  The Twitter feed will also contain live events or things clipped right out of GemStone.
