Nearly 20 years ago a group of fans and modders came together to create The Modern Adventurer. An in-game publication that was an often light-hearted look at the world of Morrowind and The Elderscrolls in general. Where this magazine stood out from others like it was that it was bundled with a plugin where players could visit the authors, buy special items and complete quests.

Well now a (slightly) new team has come together to carry on the tradition of the Modern Adventurer and bring it's unique brand of humor and world building to Skyrim SE...12 years late. The 1.1 release now gives you a choice of where the Modern Adventurer office is located. See "Installing 1.1" below.

Features:

• Two editions of the Modern Adventurer in book form (Morrowind Anniversary edition and Skyrim Commemorative edition). Read about the best places to visit in Nu-Mournhold, discover the elusive "Treasure Fox", hear the latest gossip from the other provinces, get adventuring advice from a famous survivalist, and much more. Each issue also contains unique artwork inspired by Morrowind and Skyrim. The Skyrim issue also Includes two articles written by guest contributor and Morrowind dev, AFFA.
• Also read several standalone "Breaking News" articles about the current state of Tamriel
• Visit The Modern Adventurer office in Falkreath where you can meet the authors, buy the above mentioned books and see the awful conditions our writers suffer through to bring you such high quality work.
• Complete four quests that are tied to the content from the Modern Adventurer issues. Go on Safari with "famous survivalist" Brielus Terentius and possibly take him with you as a follower. Discover the fate of a missing reporter. Track down the author of a mysterious "Letter to the Editor" and it's spicy shield. Bargain with an unknown dealer to uncover an artifact unseen in Tamriel since the days of Arena.
• Several items in our "Special Offers" collection for sale at the Modern Adventurer office all of the utmost quality and usefulness.
• Over 200 new lines of dialogue recorded using xVASynth
  

Installing 1.1
-If you are using a mod manager that supports FOMOD installers then you will get the option to choose either the original or the new location for the office. The "Falkreath" selection will install the esp where the office is located in it's original spot within the city of Falkreath. The "Ilinalta" selection will install the esp where the office is located north-east of Lake Ilinalta (-3,-7) which should have far fewer conflicts than the version in Falkreath.
-If you are doing it manually then take the MA_Skyrim.esp from either the "Falkreath" or "Ilinalta" folder and copy it into your Data folder. Which one you choose depends on where you want the office to be. Then take the Docs folder and MA_Skyrim.bsa from the "Core" folder and also place that in your Data folder
How to start:
The Modern Adventurer books can be found on vendors around Skryim, as well as the Modern Adventurer office in Falkreath. All quests are started by reading the books added to the game. From there, speak to the Modern Adventurer team at their offices in Falkreath to get clues on what to do next, or try to pick up the threads on your own using the information in the books. Readme has hints and solutions to the quests if you get stuck.

Note: This mod does contain modifications to vanilla book related leveled lists in order to place the book in the game. Make sure you make a patch that combines your leveled lists. Also minor modifications were made to Falkreath to place the office building. May not be compatible with other mods that modify Falkreath.

A very serious note from our Editor:
Rest assured, dear reader, that this has not been written by a factotum. We know there has been growing concern about mechanical constructs performing all sorts of tasks once reserved exclusively for living entities. There have been whispers within many academic circles accusing various published works of being created through artificial means. Believe me, if a factotum had written anything here, it would’ve been much more coherent and infinitely more entertaining than anything you’ve seen thus far. So sleep well, friend, knowing that the quality of our writing will not improve any time in the near future.
