Elder Scrolls history book

Post » Tue Oct 05, 2010 7:38 pm

I do table top RP. I was wondering if anyone @ Bethesda or in the Elder Scrolls group in the office there ever thought of a "Campaign Guide" or a "History" book so to speak for the world of Elder Scrolls.

I know I've personally played on and off for about 7 years now (more on than off) but I still find myself coming across new little tid-bits of lore here and there. As a GM, I'd love to put my players in a table top game where the setting was that of the Elder Scrolls universe. Just looking to see if anything like that has ever been put out (as I know it'd do a lot for me to as it pertains to setting up such a table top campaign). It can even be so generic that it doesn't even give stats (or if you want to give stats, give the stats from the games themselves).

Anyways, just a thought and a question. :) Thanks!

This is cool, but I think what the OP means is that they actually write and publish a sort of history book for Tamriel--something that would be like a collector's item that you can buy. I think it would be really, REALLY cool. I would buy it. I think any real TES fan would want one in their collection, unless they dislike non-electronic forms of media. :P

Those are nice links, but yea. I'm looking for a book with a history of the world of Elder Scrolls. Something more akin to this: http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/The_Grand_History_of_the_Realms

That's a book that while, based on a land that a lot of people play, it's also a complete history of what's happened in the realms. Looking for something similar to that for TES. I know if it got made I'd buy it up in a heartbeat, and several of my friends would too. We're all hooked on TES, but hard to find a nice book-like history of TES to use for an actual table top RPG (anyone else aside me and my buddies do that? ;)

Most of my TES friends are online, so I don't really get to do that much. I love RL RPG though! :)
