Okay, so I was reading an old thread in the Catacombs entitled 'News from the Real World', and I came across a post by Ancient Gamer, and it got me thinking: why don't we all do stuff like this? I mean, it's often said that truth is stranger than fiction, so why don't we use it? Enter this submission.
I've made this both a scroll and a codex, so that you can submit both a plot you've pulled from the news and a plot-worthy news item. Submit real news to the scrolls, so others can use them to make plots easily, and submit your own news-plots to the codex, for the viewing enjoyment of others. This way, we're giving to the community, yet also giving to ourselves by working with our own settings.
Have fun!
*note: When submitting real news to the scrolls, don't just give a news link. Instead, give a link and a brief overview of what the article is about. Optionally, you may comment on how this could be implimented into a game world.
