Here's the other article. It's on the Wuxia game.

New Game Summary:
Wuxia

   The new game "Wuxia: The Homage" recently started, taking place in a setting much like feudal China. "What's Wuxia?" you may ask. Wuxia Fiction is described by heroic-cinema.com as "martial-chivalric fiction.... [or] Chinese swords and sorcery." The site goes on to give examples, such as A Chinese Ghost Story. The protagonist of such stories is the Xia, a word loosely translated as "swordsman" or "adventuring warrior. "
The Homage centers around a story involving the demise of gods and unrest as a world prepares itself for whatever is causing a series of unnatural disasters and mysterious occurrences.
   Mr. Brian is the Game Master, and the characters so far are Kesir (a monk), Karil (member of the Serpent Clan), and Aliele (an assassin), with two more expected to join in the near future.
   For more information on the Wuxia genre, see http://www.heroic-cinema.com/eric/xia.html.


Notes: This looks longer in a column format.  Actually, It's pretty hard to write at length about new games, but let me know if you want me to expand on this more in terms of background or storyline. I figured that I'd keep it sort of short at first because I didn't know how interested people would be reading a long article with information that could be found elsewhere.

EDIT: Oh, yes. I'm now working on an article for Wanna-Be Overlords. It should be finished and up by tomorrow night if everything goes well. (I'm praying, but I've got a nasty cold.)

DannyCat|somewhere: Watch out, Huitzil. Encredible froce is being swang here.

Not so much what I was thinking.

That's more journalism on the site.

I mean more journalism as if IN THE GAME.

Which, of course, involves reading it ^_~.  Example, thought, you could do an article on the emperor's speech in Wuxia from an industrious citizen perspective.

Well, Goodbye.

Pfft. You're just hoping to get shot in the photo. Damned celebrity monk. -_-

I'll second Dracos. I won't rehash this as we discussed it on IRC, but your first article is a lot closer to what we're aiming for.  Not bad, and I may want to use this as an editorial later, however.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?
