'''The TownCrier''' is the rolling news feed with all the news that's fit to share about [[GemStone IV]]. The TownCrier channel went live on [[Lich (software)|LNet]] on March 11, 2016. Hosted by your friendly news anchor, Newsby, the TownCrier is published with ongoing updates by a dedicated team of creatives.

The project came to be because who wants to have to choose between [[roleplaying]] or looking in multiple places for what's going on in GS? It was named after the first magazine of Elanthia, The TownCrier of GemStone II from 1988-1989.

In January 2018, [[The TownCrier]] officially became a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] based in the town of [[Wehnimer's Landing]].

When the 2020 changes were made to ESP, the TownCrier became available as an OOC ESP Channel, too, and news headlines are delivered simultaneously to both LNet and ESP now so that people can pick the one most convenient for them.
