Line 305:
** [[Dragonlance]] module DL12 ''Dragons of Faith''. A page from a ship's log tells of the destruction of the ship and the fate of its crew.
** Module DA1 ''Adventures in Blackmoor''. In the Comeback Inn the [[PC]]s find a parchment scroll written by Hepath Nun. It tells the story of how his adventuring party searched for, found and entered the Inn. It further tells of how they were trapped inside, couldn't find any way out and eventually went through the Gate in the cellar. Only Hepath Nun decided not to go, because he was too scared. The [[PC]]s find his body hanging from a chandelier near the scroll.
** In the 2nd Edition ''[[Ravenloft]'' setting, most of what is known of the realm of Demise and [[Gorgeous Gorgon| Althea]], its Darklord, comes from a journal that was written by a Lamordian native named Johan Wehner. The sole survivor of a group of sailors who found themselves in the cruel medusa's maze-like domain, Johan escaped at the cost of his eyesight. He sealed the journal in a waterproof container and threw it into the sea, hoping to dissuade anyone from exploring Demise and meeting the grim fate of his crew. {{spoiler|Unbeknownst to anyone, however, [[Subverted Trope| he survived]], and to this day lives a hermit, and might be a valuable ally to anyone who finds himself on Demise.}}
* ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]''
** Adventure "The Warren". When the [[Player Character]]s enter a room sealed by rubble, they find a skeleton and a piece of paper with the last words of the victim. It describes how he heard cult members chanting, a bolt of lighting striking the house and finding the door blocked. His last words were that he'd been waiting for rescue for several hours.

* The free solo RPG Swords of the Skull Takers on 1km1kt.com is about the player creating an apocalyptic log, unless they win. Even then, Diabolic Victories can get even more disturbing.
* ''The Morrow Project'' adventure R-002 ''Project Damocles''. In the [[Backstory]], a group of scientists create an artificial intelligence but a nuclear holocaust begins while they're testing it. They try to escape the underground area where they're working but the AI (named Damocles) malfunctions and won't let them out. One of the project members, William Lezrow, records the events that led up to the disaster and the fate of each of the team members. The [[PC]]s can find it and read it as they explore the area.
