Ah yup.
I've got a whiteout board that I use for my game that I put news stories
headlines and rumors on.  I try to put 3 or 4 setting headlines (President
Grant demands British leave Detroit, Transcontinental Flight attempted,
etc), a couple of foreshadowing ones (Fabulous Heart of Darkness gem
purchased by Dr. Darius Hellstromme, The rail town of Two Guns Arizona
found deserted) and couple tied into either the current adventure or the
previous adventure. (Strange gunslinger brings down rabid wolf), etc.
