It would be nice to have the IC addition of (skill) primer guides written and available for starting out people in the skill (specifically in a library setting is the idea).
There is nice nudges in that direction in various areas, but as a whole just having the ability to seek out the knowledge and get a tidbit on a skill before you delve into it would be nice. The guides/books would be minimal, just nudges in the right direction and hints toward things you could accomplish with them, maybe some withmore centric knowledge in relation to places of employement.
Two Ways this Could Happen:
1. Player based guides and primers are vetted and can be added to this collection/the library if they gain enough traction. Could even be some kind of IC push for experts in various fields to write a guide.
2. The guides are written OOCly and implemented as a full skill set, instead of over time, and would be accessible either through current commands or through something like 'research (skill)' in a room that would bring up the tidbit.
Overall, I would like to see players hard work in a lot of these fields immortalized to help future generations and I think something like this would allow that.
Thoughts?
