Introductions

Welcome to the tumblr blog of the Pen & Paper Archive, a project seeking to record, store, and preserve tabletop roleplaying games, with a particular focus on obscure titles and authors.

Right now, the archive is a hard-drive, a spreadsheet, and a tumblr blog. In time, the goal is to grow into a resource for authors, historians, and anyone looking for games they of which they may not have heard.

The purpose of this blog is two-fold. Firstly, to promote the archive itself and seek donations from supporters. Secondly, to highlight the kinds of games general audiences may not have heard of before.

I hope you enjoy what the Archive has to offer, and greatly appreciate your support.

If you'd like to donate a game or have your game highlighted here, email me at shawthornegames@gmail.com.

There's a ttrpg based on this.

In Come Home (2-0000-00FA), three players take the roles of an astronaut, ground control, and the voice which calls the astronaut from space. Start a conversation, discover more about the astronaut, and learn together where they finally come to rest.

Just going home...

When your friend gives you a lined notebook as a gift, you go back to your roots and draw in it.

They also got me into TMA so it’s only fair that I fill the entire thing with fanart and reckless pen lines.

Ohhhh, PEL (it's a museum equipment website) is like a museum nerd candy store!! So many archival quality ✨things✨ to play with!

Kinda want to buy an accessions register with my own money just because I want to start accessioning in a fancy book to feel all historic. It was always cool when I was volunteering to write in the book with the special archival pen in the footsteps of all the museum people before me. Idk if my boss would like it though...
