There's a Dreadnought in one of the Dark Angel's HH books - the implication seemed to be that it was basically a way for critically injured marines to continue fighting and act as heavy duty face-wreckers.

It would serve as a rather nice contrast to the much more "normal" newspaper and emphasize to the players that this is not just our society with more tech.  |
As others said, there is one there - I've kept only one per issue so I don't run out of line too quickly
There's also the date, so I'll have the next issue correspond with whatever date they return to either Footfall, Port Wander or a couple of civilised worlds (the only places to get the Gazetter!).

Doesn't come out right? Ah well, I'll just let any Explorator characters know or keep thte others wondering
I used this converter if anyone's interested.

It's from the RT era Compendium as far as I know.

I'm not entirely sure that's a bad thing - I'm trying to emulate Victorian newspapers with their (to our design sensabilities) illegible walls of text. Since I actually want my players to read said text, I decided to make the headers suitably 'gothic'. That and it adds visual interest.

Very, very good work Zorg. It's been a very long time since I've wanted to play in an RP game as much as this one, after seeing that.  |
Thankyou, I hope my players feel the same way

Possibly, I just
stole them wholesale utilised the resources made available by Fantasy Flight- they're all their characters. Interesting to know there's still
lazy name stealing humourous homages going into 40k products.

Oh and an idea for the next bit of techspeak:

More story ideas are always welcome, as are short adverts, personals and whatnot. If anyone was wondering, the Gee-Ball pics will all be taken from the
Rollerball movies.
Printed out a copy and it looks pretty good, even if I do say so myself
