Collection: I Search The Bookcase!

Collection: I Search the Bookcase!

This 3-page collection of ideas for books on your in-game bookshelves should help you figure out what to say when one of your players goes to inspect the mad mage's books. Books are a great way to embed lore into your world and share it with your players. Additionally, some books may have been owned by magical creatures, or a wizard may have left a note or two in the margins, creating a whole new adventure for your players to chase after. Or maybe you'd rather make your own books? These tables will help you decide what it looks like, how it's written and what's so special about your books.

For better, full-page high quality imagery, take a look at the collection "I Search the Bookcase!" at the Homebrewery here!

I feel like this is a photo from a post nuclear disaster movie. It's more likely just a photo from tornado season, or just extreme straight line wind.

Kal-toh!

hmmm

As the child of a librarian, I grew up in the library. I was reading by the age of 2, and my mom ended up relenting and allowing me full access to the library early. Did I abuse that? Absolutely. In small towns, even librarians have opinions about appropriateness of books, especially for their own kids, but I was indeed signed off to have access to the entire library at 9, so as long as my mom didn't see me with it, I was gonna read it. I was, and still am, a sponge for knowledge.

I had a discussion with my mom tonight about the upcoming solar eclipse on Monday and found out exactly how much audacity the local Chamber of Commerce has.

You see, my mom works for the town library, and the library, as a member of said organization, was asked to wait to provide free eclipse viewing glasses until the Chamber had the chance to sell some for a profit.

The asking price?

$50!!! Fifty fucking dollars!!!!

For the cardboard piece of shit glasses that you can buy at the Wal-Mart 4 pair for 5 bucks or get for free with an Eclipse slush at Sonic!

The fucking audacity!

We are in the path of totality here and will be in it for just under 4 minutes, so the price of everything has soared for the weekend, including hotel rooms at our 2 just barest of okeyest hotels, has skyrocketed.

The price on those hotel rooms?

Starts at $675 a night this weekend. Starts there!

That, and most of the surrounding area hotels are sold out at those prices. We are not metropolitan, just rural with a little bit of industrial mixed in. We should not at all be able to command that pricing.

One of the local churches wants fifty bucks to park in their parking lot to watch it, and a few other places around followed suit. Private residents want anywhere from ten to fifty dollars to park on their property.

The gas prices here are up because of a predicted peak in use. There's an Eclipse Festival at the fairgrounds this weekend, with bands playing all weekend, and the pricing on it seems to be the only reasonably priced thing in the entire racket.

Our entire city collectively lost their minds in a money grab over this eclipse thing.

good riddance live
