"With a final stroke of his axe, Wulfgar killed the last ogre guarding the temple door. Petja quickly searched the bodies for loot and found a golden key that fit into the door's keyhole.
Swords and wands ready, the party opened it and saw a library inside. Old dusty tomes filled bookshelf after bookshelf. The wizard drew a deep breath of satisfaction and stepped inside..."


The situation above has probably occured once or twice in your campaign as well. Naturally, bad guys also have libraries. But do you also dread when one of your players asks the all too familiar question: 'So what are all of these books about? I pull three off the shelf and flip through them!'

Now, help is one the way! The link below is for a random book generator on the internet. It has several different topics, a multitude of more or less usefull titles and extra information. Generate 25 random books in no time at all! Fill up the libraries of all those nasty enemy bookreaders!

This should make any PC wizard

Enjoy!

Great link Spellweaver! I'm one of those DMs that likes to get specific with at least a few books that stand out in a collection. I use some of them to allow a character to put ranks in knowledge skills and others like craft, profession, and perform. The kind of books I struggle with the most are the fictional works. This would be a good thread to post books you've made up that are specific to Mystara.

Well, at the Vault there is this link to begin with:

http://www.mystaranet.jamm.com/vaults/html/glanbook.html

It is to some great books created by Christopher Cherrington, I don't know if he is here on the board under a nick.
