Thanks to Jubal of Exilian for the topic.

This week we have a look at ways of sending a message to somebody, we also look at how Alyeska gets its news. A few things that can be worked into a game, either as an adventure seed or to help bring the world to life.

Nice, this all seems similar to how I'd imagined things would work.

Are there any settlements small or remote enough that they're outside the reach of the telegraph (or even the regular mail) links? Presumably poor weather could badly slow down mail if it's too bad for easy flying (and I can't imagine there's much of an effective air traffic control system!)
