Title: The Autoquill is Mightier than the Sword
Post by: Saussure on May 30, 2011, 10:31:31 PM
Good evening, one and all,

Apologies for anyone who has noticed this and wondered why it wasn't announced on the day of release (it's just possible that the guardian-servitors of the Dark Magenta archives were out of the country), but we've unleased another article on the big, bad world!

Have a look here (http://"http://www.darkmagenta.co.uk/articles/The%20Autoquill%20is%20Mightier%20than%20the%20Sword.pdf") to download the wonder that is Joseph Garvin's most recent piece, "The Autoquill is Mightier than the Sword", in which we explore a variety of effects that tomes, grimoires and ancient scripts can have in your games of Inquisitor.

Comment away, one and all!

Very enjoyable read, very much in the flavour and depth of Dark Heresy  I feel but with a very good and clear application in Inquisitor.

Also a very quick and relatively easy way to add extra depth to a character by inventing a specific book!

Keep up the great work one and all!

Rob

I already have the sketches for my Inquisitor librarian character, this just reaffirms my desire to build him

It causes the same problem in me, it makes me want to get to work on the small library I was building and stop working on my other projects.

Only just recently read this article.  Great source of character ideas.

small library

Making a small Inquisitor scale library building is on my wish-list.
But my to-do list is wadded up with a myriad of more important things... Like paying off a student loan whilst I can still afford it... *grumblegrumble*
In short, I'm jealous.


As for the article, it certainly adds a lot of depth to a wide variety items which are normally strictly decorative. (Scrolls, books, charts and parchments....)
