New hear any advice, also are in-game books available on the forums?

I like to read a bit at work and to put together my own RP post based on i-game found books. It is nice to see the text and apply it with my work and research without having to re-write them oocly.

Currently, no. The closest thing is a player-run lore page that documents Arelith's history from the beginning, but it's definitely not what you're looking for if you want to quote lore books IG.

There's the player run Encyclopedia Arelithica, but it doesn't have every book written IG. Other then that, I'm not sure of any other public collections of writings.

Thanks for the info, would it be ok to consider screen shots of in-game books for some of my posts ?

Such depends on the post I think. For example if you are raising a question etc and need it for reference, such would be fine. However , posting a bunch of screen shots for an online record of books on the forum is likely less so.

What idea did you have in mind that would require snips from books if I might ask?

Was just planning to show a breakdown of his readings, and personal notes on the books he has found and reads. But also a level of "proof" that they were found in game, and with any luck inspire some RP around his research with others.

I've totally forgotten how, but there's a way you can extract the text of items in your character's inventory.

You can do this by placing things in Enchantment Basins, taking possession, and opening the description editing interface; this will print the description to your chatlog. Books can be easily extracted by putting them in a bookcase and reading them on the bookcase; this will print out the description to your chatlog. Very handy if your characters write a lot or do a lot of custom descriptions and you want a record of what you've done.

Three things here:

1. Some books are common. Some books are decidedly uncommon and have had access to them deliberately controlled. If you're referencing books you found in dungeons as loot, then you should be fine posting that stuff, but books in libraries that you've never seen elsewhere is probably best not to post here.

2. If you're writing commentary on a book, we know you've read it. You don't need to post proof.

3. Nothing on the forum is supposed to inspire RP. RP is supposed to inspire RP. If you want your character to get RP out of research, they need to distribute their books IC, organize and hold lectures, start or join a research organization, etc.
