Books - For Mechanical AND LARPy purposes

[AriZona]

Books - great idea. I just see it differently. There should few additional items along with book: i) book shelf, ii) "library" that functions as some idol (village/real) responsible for local attribute/skill modification (e.g. learning, psyche, intelligence, will), and iii) "librarian(s)" - based on int/wil/psy and bound to a specific library. Visiting library grants the library more bonuses and the visitors gain a temporal modifications that, for example, last 2-7 real days. it may depend what books they read, etc. That pretty much it

i) book shelf

In the original post already.

ii) "library" that functions as some idol (village/real) responsible for local attribute/skill modification (e.g. learning, psyche, intelligence, will)

"A great institute of learning" -> An interesting idea, I must say. Not sure how I feel about constantly stacking on the bonuses, however. Feel like there's enough of that kind of creep already.

iii) "librarian(s)

- Eh, no.

Visiting library grants the library more bonuses and the visitors gain a temporal modifications that, for example, last 2-7 real days. it may depend what books they read, etc. That pretty much it

This is also an interesting idea, especially if it comes with steep requirements. But I have the same reservations I mentioned before... Bonus creep.

... Bonus creep.

Life is simple: no bonuses/benefits - no use.

Judging by the immense amount of paving art I've seen done, the elaborate village builds, the colors and styles of structures implemented, I don't know that I can agree with that assessment.

Yea, both great ideas that flesh it out as a package. But with so many things unbalanced right now I have to agree. Down the road, when balance is achieved, I think would make an awesome addition.

YESSSSSSSS. Oh please yes. It would also be nice to be able to add custom art to pages to make illuminated manuscripts or picture books.

Just wanted to note that I like the idea. I just wanted to bring up some possible negative side effects, or at least discuss if anyone else thinks those are possible negatives. I guess I was wrong.

The only negative effect i can think of is creating complete alt-training teachbooks. If it would be comsumed in process and become a subject of traiding, i'm not sure it's quite negative.
