OK, guys, I'm taking up the first prop replica again that fascinated me: the Grail Diary. Years ago a made some inserts / upgraded some inserts and posted them on the COW. I share some of my own work here, and would also like to request some inserts that were "out there" once, but after all these years I can't find them anymore.

So first start with my stuff:

White Star Line Folder in attachment (recreation based on a low-res scan of an original one)

Venice Museum Ticket, based on an original ticket:



Camel Pack + little blue seal. Scanned from an original Camel Pack:



Eastern Telegram, scanned from an original one:



I might upload some more stuff later on...

So what I'm looking for:

This specific version of the Purple Dragon Tavern Rules:



On the old site indianajonesprops (Indiana Jones Props) there were two PDF's:

Printables - Inserts - Tavern Rules Insert.pdf
Printables - Inserts - Tavern Rules Insert - Reverse.pdf

Don't know if these are the same, but those PDF's are welcome too...

This version of Codirolli's Obituary:

That's just a digital download of the grail diary content... As far as I know this content can be freely found online. I would not pay anything for this, to be honest...

Take a look here to start: Indyquest.nl You can download a digital Diary there...
 
I can't help you with that specific article version, but the photo is actually of Arturo Toscanini:

The handwritten Tavern Rules version you have pictured is a scan of Magnoli's. It has notes on the front and back, from what I remember.
 
Yes, I also have seen these:

Alsmost identical, but the one posted before, looks longer than these ones.
 
It's just an earlier version. The one you have there is also his, from a later edition of his story diary.
 
Thanks for the picture Serenity! I recreated the article:





I'd also like to add the torn text on the bottom, Does somone has an idea what words could be there? I think a native English speaker (which I'm not) could maybe "guess" what title could be at the bottom?

I found this newspaper clipping in my archive. I scanned it from the game diary. It has been used as template for the Obituary, it seems. So I'm going to make it in the same way:

Is the obituary itself based on 'official' sources or was it made from scratch using information from the game diary?
Otherwise, a few suggestions:
The date should probably be 1926 based on information in the game diary ( I don't think there would be a date under an article title).
His name is misspelled in the first line (Codirelli instead of Codirolli).
Maybe invent a first name since it's an obituary (Giacomo/Giovanni/Giuseppe?)
Maybe RMS Titanic (or survivor of the 1912 Titanic disaster)
82-year-old with hyphens?
The game diary mentions Bologna several times, so maybe replace Sapienza university by the University of Bologna?

You happen to have good quality versions of these two (invented) tickets (click on them for a bigger version):

By ANY chance does someone have downloaded all the artwork of the holy grail journal? I have spent dozens of hours researching this, and I can't find a source that has the PDFS of the art itself. Not a photo of someone holding the art, or a picture of the book where there's curvature in the middle.

I just wish someone out there has a PDF of the drawings so I can start building this journal out. I have all the physical materials. Finding the Drawings in good quality has been the hardest part.

No inserts needed. Nothing from the video game. Just the actual images of each piece of artwork.

If someone out there has this please help!
