Hmm, the maiden post on a touchy subject.. perhaps not the best way to break the ice in WoD!
*In a nutshell*
There should be a player library where characters can go in Britannia to look up anything, or research or simply for novelty value. WoD has everything bar this; the closest being Fellowship Hall. I propose a real library, in Moonglow or Yew.
*The long-winded version*
The Scribe's Guild is specifically for recording the History of the World of Dreams, both past and present, and the player's stories.
Having read some of Atei's work on the History pages on the manual, I was impressed. However, my idea is a little different. I propose rather than the web-site (I've never really had a thing for them) submissions to have stories and history written in game, and the books presented in game.
Much like the Fellowship Hall. That way, it adds a corner of the world that is scholarly and where magi can be reclusive and sterotypical and so forth. But seriously, I feel that having a player-library in game would be a great addition to the shard.
However, I mean a full-blown library, like in Moonglow where that giant set of buildings are with the N sign (don't know the name of it,) or Empath Abbey in Yew.
I don't know how many people will want to help, but I plan to pursue this task myself. I've done about one hundred books already, and I think by the five hundred mark I can call myself ready for a library.
I hope I have some support out in the WoD community, and I am happy to accept player-written books on any shard-related content. I feel that this way, it is a more visble and characterised sort of chronicling the world, rather than just the web-site.
Though, that's not to say I think that the Scribe's guild is an excellent idea! Hopefully, we can team up in a way, and get some magic happening.
