Immersive books

Post by Niels Sanders »

Hello Dev Driller,

I am still quite new to the server, but had some good convo's with DM Omegon.
I would like to make a suggestion to make the Blackstone Keep experience more immersive.
The suggestion is to add books, lots of books, and a librarian who collect them.

The system:
For each 6 books you bring the librarian, you get an xp reward related to the books value.
For every 30th book you get a random item related to your current level, and a beefier xp reward.

The books:
Make books of inclining value, which can be found on similar level enemies.
fe: 1-10 lvl books
11-20 lvl books
21-30 and 31-40.
And some boss/raid books only.

Immersion:
Get your DEV/DM team together and create cool stories to put in the books, for players to read (Happy to help on that)
Ask players to wtite about their adventures. Than have their book added to the server.
Stories about Blackstone keep. About its history, its bosses, its players, its trivia, its poetry.
Stories about DM events, oddities and so on.
These stories give players a different look into Blackstone keep.

Examples:
The life of DM Oh me gone! (to be written by the man himself)
The light of Gleanna (due to recent event)
Snort's revenge (because of his latest upgrade)
The Childhood of a Sailor (History of the boatman in BSK)
The power of the Forge (about making a level 41+ weapon)
Histroy of the Oasis
Poetry of Blackstone Keep
The tale of <player character name>
etc etc

These stories are typically no more than 200 words long.
Hope you like the idea.

Greetings,
Niels Sanders

Greetings,

This is a good idea. I have some lore server lore I could fashion into books. Want to collaborate on putting a few together in preparation for some kind of library?
