Very nice. Plenty more to add in though. ;p

Keep up the good work.

>>Since I got yer attention here and I couldn't get it in the Tunes/Tomes/Trash folder...

Sorry, I don't read that folder. If you need me for something, email is always the best course.

>>Are you and Kaspien still doing the book system and accepting entries to be published? If so where are entries sent?

You bet! Send any submissions to Cadaya, Kaspien, and myself via email.

>>There are 2 of the same book in the Strand Communal Center but with different names. Was this on purpose?

<grunts> Dunno. I'll look into it.

>>Any chance on gettin some new books sometime? Maybe about more recent events? Gorbesh War, Sorrow's War, Vorclaf, etc?

Oh, I hope so. I'm actually quite disappointed that we don't see more books from players on the events that you mention. Books written as in character memoirs of any event are just as welcome as any other kind. This is the way that characters can have an impact on overall game history... By being the ones who actually write it.

I think it was more like, we shouldn't write about how the Elves were created or what happened with Lanival's twin brother Ed, but stuff that happened while we were around, like the Gorbesh War or the Sorrow War would be ok, since it is Recent History as opposed to Background History which could cause problems with the GM's making stuff. Sure, one person might say one thing about the Gorbesh (like they ravaged the villages, ate all the pigs, and drew crude likenesses of the inhabitants on the wall) while another would say something totally different (the Gorbesh were really just looking for some sugar, but nobody understood them, and how mean can we be, they were planning on baking us a cake!). However, the war DID happen, and nobody can debate that. Heh. Hopefully.

>>Maybe she was just referring to just Elven history but I assumed she meant all of Elanthia's history. If that is not the case then maybe I can write about our past after all?

Well, for various reasons, it would be pretty hard to have players defining deep background histories, such as racial backgrounds. I was refering more to recent events. Things that have occured since the game opened to players.

>>...but stuff that happened while we were around, like the Gorbesh War or the Sorrow War would be ok, since it is Recent History as opposed to Background History which could cause problems with the GM's making stuff.

Bingo. We'll take care of the background stuff, but you guys were there for the actual events like the Gorbesh's frat house prank and Sorrow's little tea party. Show us your point of view in the wars, or just a unique spin on it, and it has a chance to be published.

>>I wanted to write a manifesto sort of thing about Vorclaf and the monarchy and the government and all that jazz, but I figured no one would be interested/it would never really be published. Does this mean that opinion books on history or current events are ok to submit?

Absolutely. I can think of one off the top of my head that is already published (and has been for some time), and I saw another submitted fairly recently.

Even ancient history can be covered if it's clear that it's just opinion. It can get tricky, but it shouldn't be impossible. The Dragon Priest Empire may be dead and gone, but that doesn't mean that you can't say nasty things (or nice things if you're one of those closet DP people ;p ) about it.

As a disclaimer to all of the above, submitting a book does not guarantee it will be published, but it will be read and it will be considered.
