Summary - A massive collection of detailed character sheets, hand-drawn maps, item sheets, and extensive instructions for progressing through the game. Manual scans are also included to show a small sheet of torn paper from a missing page of notes that had been used as a bookmark. As I write in my blog post on this collection, these documents are extensive and detailed interpretations of the games that contain numerous personal touches, much like peering into an old diary with intimate details specifically about one player's experience with learning to analyze, adapt, and prevail while also shedding light on the player's personality and interests through smaller details such as handwriting, organization, tone, style, etc. Perhaps most intriguing is page 7, which is the last page of this player's notes recording their progress. This page ends with "Tomorrow: Load game and Go To Traveler's Inn!" and closes the notes without a resolution. Did this player make it to the inn? What stopped them from continuing to document their progress through the game? I think there's something to the cliffhanger-esque feelings that this ending leaves, although I'm not particularly sure what to make of them.
