A nice little feature would be if you could right click a book and select Read Aloud so that your character would recite the book into local chat much like the conversion speeches work.

event window: Rolf begins to read "Fo's Love" aloud

Local Chat: <Rolf> "Fo's love is all around you"

                <Rolf> "It is in the trees. It is in the grass."

I like that idea. We already recite stuff from when converting, why not do the same for regular books?

I can see it now, people reading aloud a wonderful masterpiece consisting of profanities repeated over 100 pages :D

+1, and make sure you can add as many pages as you want, but with skill limiting factors like:

a new skill, and sub skills:

Book Making

-Paper Proccessing

-Binding

-Writing (kinda wierd, and of course, not mandatory XD)

Paper Proccessing determines how good you are at making paper (kinda like string of cloth's atm)

Binding, of course, dtermines your chance to succeed in binding

and Writing determines how many characters you can write per page

35 yes, 3 no, and 6 with improvements. That's pretty conclusive I think ;)

in my ideas ink would be obtained from

1. rare plants <possibly>

2. spiders (poison ink 0_0)

3. scorpion (more poison ink 00_00)

4. octopus (calamari anyone?)

add red mushrooms, give them a purpose...

Any dye should work as ink; As well as tar, charcoal, or ash.

Everyone should be able to write a book without so much effort that it would be a chore. Any skills or items around it, should be perks (like better fonts, more colors, ability to copy books).  This is just like mounts- everyone can ride, but a saddle makes you ride faster.

Another bump.

I want to keep this circulating until we eventually get it!

It's a great idea, and the poll backs that up ;)

I would pay to see it in-game, and I think it would really make alot of people happy. :)

Yes, add books and possibly a new item: book stand, it will be unmovable and you could attach a book to it so everyone can read it but they can't steal it.

i would even provide textured 3d models for that feature, so that the wurm modeler doesn't have to bother with them...

I like that. You could record a village history for people to read.

You may want to talk to someone who does the modelling about that hehe ;) But that proposal alone might be enough to bump this up the priority list to maybe after multi room houses and multi story homes?
