On character creation, you get a Book of Deities, a Book of Trade and an Arelith FAQ book.
These need to be looked at. The FAQ book is out of date and mentions rules and policies that no longer exist. I think Jjjerm's contact info is still in there. This needs to be updated. A new player may be misled by some of the things in there. It's been out of date for years.
The book of deities and book of trade are arguably superfluous now due to the rest menu.
The rules and policies explained in the journal are also way out of date--a simple gloss over them makes this very evident.
Also, I don't know if this is just happening to me or everyone, but there is something visually wrong with some of the journal entries. The text overlaps and they're unreadable. I'm not sure if this is an issue in the module or in EE.
These fixes seem both important and easy.

Re: Update the starting guidebooks & journal entries
I absolutly agree reguarding the FAQ booklet and journal. That really needs fixing. 100% agree!
The Trade/Deity books... IDK. I still use them myself? And I think for new players they're not a bad idea because they draw your attention to two very key areas of charcter - rather than have them buried in a menue (though the menue is great for more experienced players). That said if others felt they should be removed I wouldnt exactly be crying salty tears of grief.
Anyway - definatly approving this. Good idea.

This too shall pass.
