Zeropoint Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 I just discovered the existence of a document called the Voynich Manuscript. It's a small book, apparently written in the early 17th century, containing mysterious illustrations of plants, astrological drawings, and biological/chemical processes with large numbers of "nymphs". Accompanying the illustrations is text written in a script that has no apparent connection to any known alphabet or language. The document has defied all attempts at translation or decryption, and at determining the author. In short, this book is a blank slate, waiting to be whatever it needs to be for your campaign!

Darren Watts Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: Real-world artifact suitable for gaming For more specific gaming info on it, check out Ken Hite's Suppressed Transmission books- I don't remember which volume, but he has a column about it. dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenrisUlf Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: Real-world artifact suitable for gaming It was in Suppressed Transmissions 2. I'd recommend that any gamer check out both books, as they're some of the most entertaining collections of RW weirdness I've ever run across.
