Something I really loved about UO

I was just thinking that I really loved how UO had books. You could write stories. You could only fit maybe a page and a half of text in the longest available books, so that lead to very condensed writing when I was playing. I sold serial adventure stories on my vendors, and the RP community that I was a part of ate them up.

I think I might make a weekend project of a quickie gray shard system for collecting, rating, and spawning player-made books on the world's bookshelves. I doubt the tiny community on Alexandria will take advantage of it much, but there's always the chance that it'll enrich the shard for the better, and possibly draw in more RP-minded players.

I'll publish it here on Sunday night, if it's finished.
