Archived: A Lost & Found Game

This game's a gem, top to bottom! First off, something I don't often note on, the theming of the rulebook, as you see in those pictures, it'd fit right in at as some kind of esoteric finding aid or something. Under all that solid ambiance, however, lies an incredibly fun game, allowing you to not just tell the story of a random book on a library shelf, but a wide variety of things you'd potentially find in circulation in one library or another. Personally, I played a set of research notes from my d&d setting, which made navigating the story I was telling occasionally take a bit of shoehorning, but even despite that, I had an absolute blast playing anyway. I'd love to pick the game back up again and play as something different next time, as each of the Articles have their own unique questions to answer. The use of each patron that finds you both being effected and effecting the article opens up a fantastic set of avenues into exploring not only what it's like for a document left alone on a shelf, unregarded for a while, but also how much of an effect finding that next fantastic work to read can change a person. Overall, like I said at the beginning, this game's a gem, and an incredible introduction to the world of Lost and Found games.
