Bespin: Action Tidings

Bespin: Action Tidings was an online supplement for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game published on the Wizards of the Coast website in September and October 2004 as part of the site's Planet Hoppers series. It was written by Cory J. Herndon. The supplement was split into five separate articles chronicling the history of Bespin's Ugnaught holonews program Action Tidings, and its host, Ars Fivvle.
