    Title says it all. I'd like the ability to write in Runic for player books.

    Having an easy to use Runic Translator would be nice too. :)

    If I have to go to the trouble of translating to understand your book you should have to put the effort in to translate it to runic.

    It's hard enough to write a book, let alone translate it into Runic as you write it. ;)

    I would like to believe that I'm not just writing nonsense in my player made books. I do put quite a bit of effort into writing (overall). I also don't have a lot of want to make endless amounts of runic only books.

    For me, this is more about having the ability to WRITE in runic so that I can describe what I see in the world as it is. Having the translator would allow me to take a text file in English and automatically transfer it into runic. Yes, some people will make the entire book in runic. But my purpose is to put some passages in runic and then likely translate them immediately to English within the same book.

    Maybe they could introduce a [runic]tag[/runic] for such a purpose.

    *trumpet fan faire* Shameless plug time!

    I give you Language Skills. :)

    "You would have the ability to translate written material to and from a language as well as write in that language."

    Why stop at runic? ;)
