Talk:Books
Nearly all book icons and images have now been uploaded, and previous 'game file' names simplified. All book image/icon names start with 'Book_'.
- For small icons (most/all the ones displayed on this page), you will want to find book images ending in '_Item_Icon.png'.
- For the larger 'faded' images, for use on book pages, using the 'Image=' field, you will want to find book images ending in '_Image.png'
- Searching for 'File:Book Icon.png' or 'File:Book Image.png' should find you all related book image uploads.
- The base names for each book's image and icon, should match. If you know the name for one, you should be able to infer the other.
- Book images can now also be found under Category:Book Images.
- Book icons can now also be found under Category:Book Icons.
- Many links/redirects for old book files are still in place. Will be corrected as links are updated. Llamageddon (talk) 13:55, 26 August 2023 (CEST)
Book Spoilers
When updating existing book/note pages to the new | book spoiler parameter, remove the "yes" as well in most cases. Spoilers on books should be sparse. See Template_talk:MiscItemPage for more information. Addela (talk) 07:48, 6 December 2023 (CET)
book missing: Art Appraisal
[Art Appraisal by Gonner Maude begins with this:] My mother took me aside one morning and told me my father had gone crazy. I was seven at the time. In her defense she was pretty gentle about it. 'Your Dad's okay. He's just gone crazy is all.' When I asked her if crazy meant he'd locked himself in his study again to paint for three days, she told me no, he'd attacked her with a sharpened paintbrush. She said it just like that. Matter of fact. No tears in sight. They had been married six years, tying the knot one year after Mum pushed me out between her legs in a garden shed in the boonies outside Waterdeep. Art is a funny thing. Mitcher and Webson tell us in their excellent breakdown of the craft that good art replicates life whilst great art overcomes life. That morning, at seven years old with unlaced shoes and a friction burn on my butt from scooting too fast across the floor, I learned the truth of that, and its corollary: that while overcoming that strange thing called life, great art can gobble it up just as easily
This book can be found in Jannath's mansion when the artist wasn't rescued in act 1
