The Steel Anchor: Issue # 0

This is the first publication of my in-game news feed, an alternative to The Agora.

Cutting Edge: Ever Sharper

Rumors have been buzzing about in Sailor’s Lodge and Blackwater Grotto about a new type of ship. This new ship, a “Frigate” is a double decker with two lines of cannons, crew-quarters, and a captain’s cabin. It is expected this new design will be arriving in the next few months and most likely through less than legal means.

The seas claim yet another settlement

Yesterday morning there were reports of a 20 foot high wave around Palo Town. A few hours later, I learned that Palo Town was hit by a weaker version of this wave. The townspeople are currently rebuilding and Ravenna has sent financial and material aid.

A menace at large

A criminal has escaped Silverhold today evening. They were broken out by an unknown actor, of who’s description resembles a criminal named John Fitzpatrick. The escaped criminal’s name was Gale Alexis, who was arrested on counts of murder, sailing under the influence, intimidation, and property damage.

Another Navy loss

I personally noticed a plume of smoke in the distance from Sailor’s Lodge. I called upon some mercenaries to investigate. They returned with a story of a scorched ship with melted iron along with multiple chests that remained intact.

And thanks to…

Captain Ruby Roger, The Castaways, Calden’s Knives, The Cargo Alliance, and all you readers.

(Out of char. notes) Lemme know if you want me to feature your stories, put your in game name in the comments to be in the sponsor section, and tell me how I did.

That’s pretty cool, looking forward to the next issue!

thanks, I’ll try to be doing this somewhat weekly

Nice job, seems like a cool idea. Looking forward to a player style Agora.

The newsfeed in WoM and AO are kind of special to me, they list off what real people have been up to even though you can’t see them. Adds a sense of realism to a semi-realistic game
