TownCrier is the rolling news feed with all the news that's fit to share about [[GemStone IV]]. 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 (software)|Lich]] on LNet, because it is primarily an out of character resource, you can access it with the command line:<BR />''';tune TownCrier'''<BR />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) starting Jan 1, 2017. 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<BR />The Twitter feed will also contain live events or things clipped right out of GemStone.

* Players can submit news items at: http://bit.ly/TownCrierNews
