Millie the Dark random notes on small slips of paper

Posted on by

About: This is part of a collection of gaming notes left behind by my mother when she passed in 2020. Mom was an avid table-top role player, starting her adventures in the late 1970s and continued for as long as she could find a game. I’m slowly making my way through these papers and posting them as I uncover them.

My thoughts

Unless the character name appears on the note, it’s really hard to determine if the note really does relate to the character. Mom kept a lot of notes like these, and the best I can do is assume that if they were organized with a character in a section of her binder, then they should belong to that specific character.

However, I’m starting to see some notes that just don’t have a home.

These off-the cuff or organizational notes are things every gamer has. I’m honestly impressed how organized my Mom was with these sort of things. I’m sure she each character she ran had its own folder where these things got stored until later organization.
