I will be producing a newspaper for the game. I expect to have (at least) one ready per game session. I use them as a means of introducing the roll of distant thunder and give the players a feel of what is going on in the world. While these should reflect the actions of the characters sometime I lose focus and just use the papers to establish background and maybe a place for the characters to explore the world and start fighting bad guys. The papers will be distributed as Handouts within the game but this is the 'first issue'. The Daily Bugle

Bank Bugged By Stinger
(Texas,
Copperas Cove)
As the city was preparing for
its annual Rabbit Day Festival it hosted an unexpected and unwelcome visitor;
the super villain Stinger. The bug-themed criminal attacked the city bank with
the apparent motive of simple robbery but could not resist assaulting the
staff. He sent two members of the management staff to the hospital with serious
but non-life threatening injuries.
Stinger escaped with nearly half
a million dollars.

in the concealing darkness of night.
[Lazer has a contract out on his life which for some reason Sly and Pierre of the Nocturnals
decided to try for. Lazer was running for his life trying to escape these
inhuman creatures.]
