CROSSPOSTED FROM MACHINE AGE PRODUCTIONS
Now, it’s time for some contests.
We’re going to have a blog carnival. Here’s the trick, the whole thing is going to be in-character. If you don’t have a copy of Maschine Zeit, you can download the timeline and basic history Timeline and Blog Entries. That should be enough to get you started. The blogs should be written by SLClemins. SLClemins, as you know or will when you read the history, is a moniker used by journalists in the machine age when talking about the space station hauntings and conspiracies, to protect themselves from reprisal.
A couple of things on the blog posts:
1) They should be about a haunted space station. Here’s one little sample. They should be in-character, attributed to SLClemins. Think independent journalism in a world where ghosts might very well be real.
2) Posts should link back to this page so it tracks back. I will repost them at the SLClemins blog page (I’ll credit them, of course, and link back to you.)
3) Keep them in the 250-1000 word range if you could. If you have something cool and/or profound, you can go beyond those guidelines.
4) Post a link to the Maschine Zeit PDF. Use this link: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=81873?affiliate_id=270525
5) Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
I’m giving until July 9th for this contest. July 10th, I’ll look over all the entries and post a winner ASAP. The winner not only gets recognized as a supercoolawesome person, but gets a supercoolawesome prize. By that, I mean a piece of original art from the game. This would be one of Ruth Lampi’s character pieces (you can find samples posted earlier on this blog.) I’ll send it within the US for free. Outside the US, you’d have to cover shipping.
Any questions? Toss them in the comments. But this is pretty simple.
Hello.
I am in the d’ need; helps and l’ English n’ first language is not mien. It helps s’ you like it. J’ saw the terrible phantoms of radio, but they are not only in stations anymore. I cannot say only who I it or the militia can stop our Internet. C’ is very bad here.
The terrible phantoms of radio entered my village. They came in the night from the ruins d’ a destroyed station which landed in the means of the desert. There was nobody living being, but they still left começ in. They killed much. I cannot take portraits because us n’ let us not have a camera, but this one is real. It helps s’ you like it. Quelqu’ one, emits l’ s’ helps; you like it in Benin.
There are still survivors to be helped. Speed.
I am S.L. Clemins. I was on the Anderssen excursion. I have seen the specters, and this is my story.
You’ll find this story all over the web, all over television, all over everywhere. After the disappearance of the Anderssen scientists, reports came up from one S.L. Clemins. Some of the reports were contradictory. Some were factually incorrect. Some were unrelated to the events of the Cataclysm. But most importantly, they were.
S.L. Clemins broke the silence. S.L. Clemins gave voice to all those disenfranchised, to those afraid of reprisal. Any blogger, journalist or reporter could adopt the moniker. We pioneered websites dedicated to finding Clemins’ voice, where we voted for the better and worst portrayals, turning some into ‘canon,’ while others were lost in time.
We had a voice. We had numbers. We had strength. We had anonymity. It was unprecedented. If I might say so, I don’t believe it’s going to end. It’s set new standards in the power of independent media
