TuX:
God damn it man. Are you some kind of journalist or do you just like to read a lot of newspapers. This is the thing this forum lacked - proper newspaper. Wonder could it be possible to incorporate The Daily Brahmin into the game itself. Could be a real RP bomb.

I can picture my character Doc Dilinger on the porch right now, readin' the Brahmin an screamin' at the noobs to get off his lawn.

hmm, what i'd like to do is post an article about the mysterious rise in villager deaths near NCR, just so you know, it has nothing to do with scorpions or PKs.
TuX:
If that shows up in the wasteland we're gonna need some paper boys to do some rounds with them Daily Brahmins. I'd just love to have my copy delivered straight to my tent/base/whatever- place-I-might-be-occupating.

Why, thank you kindly. Unfortunately, nobody seems obliged to support my word-smithing with a modest (or, preferably, not so) wage yet, which leaves me to pursue my "creativity" on pro-bono terms. Alas.
My greatest regret is that the most recent engagement I partook in was lost to the internets when the server owner unexpectedly (and without any warning) pulled the plug on it. Yay for staff politics. It was called Broads and Barrels, and was a regularly-updated magazine for the dwarven connoisseur (Neverwinter Nights server, somewhat modified D&D base). It dealt with large one-handed weapons (broadswords and broadaxes in particular), and everything to do with brewing. We also published a much-celebrated Naked Blade special edition. With multi-page woodcut spreads. We also once had an edition (when I was away, and a sub-editor was temporarily, and for a very brief time, promoted) that featured only warhammers and mauls. The reaction of the regular readers was what you'd expect, but a quick intervention by yours truly saved the publication from the lynch mob. Any rumors claiming the fellow was assassinated due to power struggle between us are unsubstantiated and I welcome anybody with solid information claiming otherwise to arrange a private and discrete meeting between them, myself, and my heavily armed associates.
Ah, good times.
In my experience, a regularly updated in-character "news" enterprise of any kind brings enormous potential... assuming you are of the RP (roleplaying, the non-sex - mostly - definition...). It would certainly fit great with the Fallout universe, which itself has a very cheek-in-tongue approach. On the other hand, I think the developers have enough work to do without bothering with something of such borderline importance as an in-game news service. Though I would be first in line to support creation of such an endeavor :D

I think the subscription would carry a rather hefty price on it, given the dangers involved in performing such a service... Hm. Then again, I just might create a character if only to profit from serve the community. 8)
Anyway, thank you all for reading. It helps to know others enjoy the result (although is not required ;D)
P.S. If anybody is interested in having an entry in the Daily Brahmin while I'm still in the creative mode, feel free to PM me. And especially so if you wish to contribute as an editor. I might even get inclined to do a front-page heading and such ;)
