    Before the digital age they looked like an industrial building with a bunch of offices stuck on top. The printing presses would occupy the lower floors, and news rooms and editors and the like the upper ones. There is a really good film about linotype at the NYTimes before they switched to computers (switched to computers which are also super nostalgic now). Here it is found it: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/0...ew-york-times/

    Thanks for the link, Falconius

    I spent a quiet half hour watching the process. It was quite fascinating.

    So... now we just need a volunteer

    Thanks for the links Falconius, they're very interesting. It seems the alchemists in 56 tried making lead into gold. The guild of printers managed that by a less direct route

    Probably not that many in Atlas Ward, though we do teach the orphans to read and write so they can spy for us. I'd figure quite a few in snodsy's and Kacey's districts at least - where engineering and science are the theme, and possibly many more in other parts of the city

    People read newspapers? I thought they just wrapped their fish and chips in them

    But of course

    A newspaper is always best read once its been wrapped around a lovely large and very greasy piece of battered cod - preferably hot and ready to eat. Built in entertainment while you eat

    Don't know whether the rest of you have seen it yet, but We were discussing how much fun it would be to have a Wally/Waldo in each of the maps. Chashio has drawn the most adorable little dragon and posted it over on Red's thread. You have to colour and shade it yourself, but that's the idea - you can use your own colour scheme to hide Wally in your map in plain sight by blending him into your map using the same colours as the rest of the map.

    Just a bit of fun - feel free to join in if you want to

    There will be a version of Wally in Atlas Ward, Erahum Ward, and the Borough of Lurkin, so that's 3 booked already

    Thank you Chashio
