Oh hai folks!
For the most part this is a copy of the message I posted in Discord. So that everyone is made aware though I'm noodling with the Grand Library of Steinkreis, and you know what makes a 'Grand Library', grand? Books. Lots and Lots of books.
In a future update I am wanting to add additional knowledge to the SK library. There will be a section for biography's, poems, fiction writing, as well as any other books your character(s) might be willing to submit to the archive. Basically if it's a book and its in game I'm looking to add it in!
Keep in mind though, /everything/ in this library is coming from a Kreisian stand point, meaning they're writing to their place in history, their view point and their ideology. This means depending on what you submit, even if it's non-fiction and did occur as you say, it might end up in the "banned book" section, or it might be labeled as "fiction", or even yet, it might make it into the game with alterations to be considered 'acceptable material'. So if you submit to me some Watch propaganda, or Elven sympathizing tomes or the candid romance of a dwarf, they might end up somewhere other than the first floor bookshelves.
There are currently a few sections that Player Characters will have books added to.
On the main floor: Biography Poetry Nobility Guilds and Knighthoods Monsters
Above Floor: Fiction Player Perspective: History Player Perspective: Settlements Player Perspective: Theology Player Perspective: Arcane Player Perspective: Science Uncategorized Banned Books Restricted Books
This also will also not have a deadline, as I hope even in the future people write to expand the library of Steinkreis. This provides a neat little archive/history as we go about our business. Feel free to DM me with any questions, or if you would like to put a book in the library but not announce it on the forums here, feel free to DM me and I'll smuggle it on in.
That being said, if people could quickly get me books before I push the first SK Library update... That would be amazing!
What I'll need from you is the following:
Type: (Fiction, History, Biography etc...) Title: (Title of the Book / Pamphlet/ Writing/ Collection) Author: (Who wrote it, or if its under a pen name/pseudonym) Text: (The text of said book)
Thanks for your time! And I'm looking forward to seeing what you might submit!
