Annoyingly, it contained contained a LOT of campaign notes and doodles, as well as some PDFs.  I think I've got some of the self-created stuff on a zip disk somewhere-- but that's gone missing, too, of course.Now I'm curious to hear what all has disappeared from your loot chests over the years....</blockquote>
