It was a journal recollecting the hardship, suffering and demise of a resistance group that included my PC's true love and wife. It was filled with bloodstains and written memorials. It was so well crafted for this small corner of the game, clearly made with care.

I carried around all the Mourner pieces always in game.

There are several pictures, most of them full page size.

It has to do with the fact that Pete puts together very extensive text props which invariably do not then get read by the PCs, and Pete's severe frustration about this phenomenon.<br /><br />I personally do not at all enjoy making text props for PCs (mostly because I lack pretty much any free time), but I do very muchAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388986588042398959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531262207169459835.post-30398794312791932662013-12-23T21:28:15.158-08:002013-12-23T21:28:15.158-08:007V had a lot of great text props. 7V was really th...7V had a lot of great text props. 7V was really the game of infinite text props. So there are many to choose from. But my favorite was a lengthy series of plots run by Serin, which is kind of a long story and involved me and Pete steaming open a pile of mail, and melting off (and reattaching!) sealing wax using items we had in our cabins/on our person at the time of the encounter (no warning so Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035311200032073406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531262207169459835.post-32553037054021743222013-12-23T16:46:24.626-08:002013-12-23T16:46:24.626-08:00My fondness for text props lies in that they are o...My fondness for text props lies in that they are one of the few ways in these games that we are able to give or receive something physical, tactile and persistent.
