New game:
"In case of my untimely death/disappearance" note.
For this game, you'll need a sturdy, yet worn map and a dusty old book to make diary entries in.
You'll also need a codex to go with the diary.
Mark up the map with locations. I suggest making the points trace out a specific shape or symbol, when connected by lines.
Now, in the diary mark off your times at these locations. Comment on land marks, etc and elude to keeping an eye out for "an old friend"
Cite bible verses and lines from classical literature that can be easily found in public domain. Let the number correspond with specific instructions in your handy dandy codex.
You have a variety of options with regards to setting of mythology. I suggest following a fantasy or sci fi model, to save yourself having to delve to heavily into actual historical records. Which, let's face it, the conflicting opinions and sources make a fiction mythos more uniform and easier to follow.
For mine I've decided to follow the Lovecraftian mythology (Minus the racism. Let me repeat it for the people in the back: Fuck. Racism.)
Refer to significant totems and long lost artifacts throughout your travelogue. Sketches of said totems and artifacts are also a plus.
Here's the important part. Throughout your journal entries elude to needing to protect "the future hope" without divulging to much information.
In the final pages of your journal, break the fourth wall and speak in present tense to the reader.
And reveal them to be that future hope!
Blow there goddamn minds!
