Description: Just out of curiosity.

Alright, I know there's a poll for this movie already in the polls section but, I just had some extra ideas and wanted to get them off my chest. If you like them, cool, if not that's cool too, to each there own. I just thought it'd be something different and also a bit of history in there as well. This is set around like 1899-1900's so there's alot of issues that was arising back then, like the Newsies strike for example, and it might be cool to get some storylines going for any Newsie fans out there. :D
Again this was just a thought I had in my head and wanted to see what other's thought. :D

Name: Jennifer

RPG Title: The Newsies

RPG Plot: After the Newsies strike ended, the Newsies lives pretty much returned to normal. But who's to say it was going to stay that way? They overcame a very large obstacle when it came to the paper price increase, but new problems are arising in the city of New York that the Newsies are soon going to have to face.

What if the Newsie Lodge house was suddenly goint to be shut down becuase city officials thought that it was a waste of space and money? What if other problems arose, such as Harlem Newsies against Manhatten Newsies, or Brooklyn Newsies against Queens Newsies. Different Boroughs can have different issues at the same time, or maybe there's an issue where they all have to learn to work together without killing eachother. It's a big city and storylines can go in all different directions. Don't forget Medda's theatre, what if something happened there to make the Newsies of Manhattan band together for her? A vandelism or something maybe in the theatre?

Again, there's alot of different ways to go. There can be made-up characters, girl newsies ect that can stay at the Newsie Lodge House in another wing seperate from the boys ect.

Made-up characters would be cool, just lets not forget the important cannon characters that make the newsies...well...the newsies hehe. It might be cool to make up a Newsie to lead a different part of New York city like Queens or the Bronx or something.
