Game Systems For Being a Scribe

• Creating parchment forum postings
• Sending LORE messages to PCs via the web

This is a fun and visually impressive way to make your forum postings look like real notes written on parchment paper.

1. Download and save an image of a parchment. Try searching the web for one you like Google search.
2. Open this saved image in a program like the Windows program Paint. Go to the Image->Attributes menu and set the image width and height to be 600 wide and 800 tall. That seems to be a good size.
3. Using the text drawing tool to place your text. I like the font Viner Hand ITC.
4. Save your parchment notice as a jpg. Be sure the size is smaller than 200kb.
5. Create an album at Albums if you don't have one already. Upload your notice to your album.
6. Visit your picture and right click on it and choose the Properties entry in the menu. Copy the Address to your clipboard (highlight address and Ctrl-C).
7. Now create your forum posting. Put the following in your post but with the URL to your image

Sending LORE messages to PCs via the web is a great way to deliver lengthy messages in an in-character way. When your PC sends a letter this way, the other PC will be visited by a bird ingame and receive a rolled up scroll. The scroll can then be used to allow them to read the letter. This will cost you 50gp to send.

1. While logged into LORE set your Public CD Key. This does not allow others to log onto your account or anything; there is no need to be concerned over this.
2. Visit a PC's description by finding them on the Character Index or simply by clicking there name on the Server Status page.
3. If you have set things up correctly, there will be a "Send Letter" link on their page; click this.
4. From the message page, choose your PC that is sending the letter. This PC will have 50gp deducted from their bank account automatically.
5. Fill in the subject and message and release the bird!
