The Scions of Mara I. Structure While Scions are not a guild recognized by Imperial law, have no guild halls public or otherwise, and are not organized in increasing gradients of authority, it may be more convenient to think of the Scions as a guild. Most Scions operate independently of each other,...

Stealing one instance on an item in Morrowind = all such items are now considered stolen. Is that really better? At least in Oblivion you can tell what's been stolen, and won't have whole stacks of legitimately acquired items taken from you when arrested. I'll take "How do they know..." ov...

Earl

Oblivion sucks and Morrowind rocks. There are a few things I like from Oblivion: 1) It's prettier, although that's inevitable with newer games. 2) It has physics beyond jumping. 3) It handles theft/ownership better. 4) Blocking isn't totally random. Although 2 has a drawback -- sometimes I don't re...

Formatting would work better like... The werebeast called him, and he answered. For twenty nights it stalked him. Always watching. Always waiting. He feared its wrath, but loved its strength. The power. The glory. Always watching. Always waiting. He fled from it, aware of its nature. But it was too ...

As I understand it: Nirn is created. A chunk of the world of the Ehlnofey was just plopped down mostly intact. So you've got some people who are relatively unharmed and stable. Then you've got some Ehlnofey who weren't so lucky, get scattered across the new land, and have to fend for themselves. Whe...

An example of what I mean: First Day of Arrival We marched through the pass and into western Resdayn in the morning. The men were feeling restless, being in such a strange land, and so Hjronmir prompted us to set up camp. Finding tinder for fires proved difficult, since the twisted trees in this are...

I hadn't even looked it over. Just picked it randomly. Do whatever you want with it. Generally, in the event of an AWOL author, I'd consider the books community property. Er... not "property"... *scowl* You get the idea. Most people would want to see their ideas given shape, and know what ...

Earl

Appears to be an incomplete series. Options: 1) Discard all. 2) Revise the given sections, and make no more. 3) Revise and finish the series. What I'm of a mind to do is revise what we've got, make it one book, and give it an abrupt ending. That is, author killed in mid-stride. Although that feels d...

With so much cluttering up the Books forum, I've decided to move this to the Lounge. Of course, if you're reading this, you've figured that out already.

There's that... and the fact that the thread hasn't been active in a while.

Earl

That's not really necessary right now. I figure one way or the other someone -- probably me -- will have to go through and assign values to all of the old books. For the moment, the best that can be done is a centralized static listing, like a text file, so values given to individual books in indivi...

Earl

As far as I know, lore on TR-built cities is thin (unless there's some huge quest associated with the city)... I believe we've got a Brown Book for the mainland somewhere (BoT/OoT?), and that would be a good place to start when fabricating lore for this city... What do you have in mind? Something li...

Earl

You are not a free man. You are a number. Er... *cough* A handful of you may be familiar with the Majra Decimal System. By "familiar" I mean "you've heard of it once or twice". Or "you looked in the sticky post it was in before I arbitrarily decided to delete it". Well,...

Earl

You might be looking for one of the Quest or Interior forums -- I think NPCs go hand in hand with interiors... but I'm not involved with that aspect of the project, so I'm not sure.

HAHAHAHAha. hrm.

Considering the time difference, it might actually be possible. I don't know. I'm usually on around 11:00 pm - 3:00 am eastern standard time.

Earl

About the closest it'd get to that is if some of the characters in books TR members have written end up somewhere in the game.

I'd be kind of surprised to see even that.

hmmm, that is a bit of a shame ... lot of potential there I thought... I don't know... I was thinking about it the other day...

I am not a fan of stories that go "Bad ass enters the room. Several people attack in a manner wildly without context, and the bad ass slaughters them all with super expensive weapons and/or spells. OMFG everyone's dead teh end." But if you can do something cool with it, be my guest. You kn...

The door flew open, allowing the raging ashstorm outside to sweep debris into the council club. Two figures appeared at the doorway, bracing themselves against the winds by leaning on each other and grasping the frame. One was tall and burly even leaning as he was, the other frail and slight. They s...

I was outside a few weeks ago, poking around the woods behind my house, and came across a coral fungus. I'd never heard of a fungus like that, and figured some TR people would either have already thought of them, or be interested. You people seem to like the unusual. There are more traditionally-sha...

Earl

Does TR have any coral-type fungus like [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Clavicorona_pyxidata.jpg]this bad-ass[/url]?

Or crazy stuff like [url=http://www.bnhm.berkeley.museum/cgi/img_query?query_src=photos_browseimgs_fungi_sci&enlarge=9187+3302+4604+0123]this guy[/url]?

Just curious.

Chimer were the race that became the Dunmer. There are no more Chimer because every individual Chimer became a Dunmer.

Dwemer were just Dwemer (sometimes called Dwarves, but that still referrs to the same race), and are no more.

If that clears it up.

Earl

It's nice to picture some hapless adventurer: "Hey, I found a pretty little Index! I wonder where it'll take me?" *inspects Index* "Hmm... Somethingsomethingyon... I don't remember that one. I bet it's one of the old mainland ones! I'll have to see if it works!" *activates Index,...

If I recall correctly, the strongholds were built as proof against the Nords, although by Dunmer of Chimer I'm not entirely sure. I'm leaning toward Chimer, since the Chimer had to do a superhero team-up with the Dwemer to oust the Nords and the best time to build those strongholds would have been s...

With agility to rival that of his quarry, he leapt up between two buildings, making the feat seem simple. Makes it seem simple to whom? Maybe 'practiced ease' would work. "No more that fifty feet more," No more than more? Say it ain't so! I need this matter resolved, but there are few I'd...

Earl

I'm just curious about where the claim is. I mean, where they went looking for Sotha Sil.

This would be a unique book, and the general practice on those seems to be putting them in a claim onesself rather than OoT.

Out of curiosity, how is the room set up? Is it a long, narrow hall with bookshelves dominating the walls on either side? Something like the secret library in Vivec? Or a kind of reading room, with tables here and there and books stacked on them? It doesn't really make a difference, it's just kind o...

Stuffed animals. ...What? You could have people-y ones too, for voodoo dolls. Set up necromancy-based quests around stealing voodoo dolls of a given victim... or something.

That's too bad.

Even if you were fading away, it was nice to see familiar names once in a while. I hate having to learn new names. Er... nothing against everyone who joined since my absence. Quite a testament to the mod, though; it keeps marching on.

Just a question for people who leave in general: Now that you've freed up a metric shitload of time, do you have any interest in actually playing the mod (For the purposes of the question, assume the existence of playable content)?

I was planning for it to just be some random book. Is there some way to make an item appear in random loot only once ? It'd be funny to have a few books -- or other things -- show up randomly, but uniquely. This book, for example, would give a nice WTF moment. "What the hell is it doing here ?...

From the Spellbooks, Part I and Spellbooks threads. I'll be moving Spellbooks to the Finished forum, because I think I'd be shot if I just deleted it. But there was so little going on with Spellbooks, Part I I just axed it. All these books are [url=http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/?p=lore/books]here[/url]...
