Bonus: the #zine we made in #ArchaeOS!!
A foldable 8-page zine made in ArchaeOS. There are four main sections, each with a large "artifact" (a 3D model against a green background of a person, compass, hourglass) and below it three "cards" (an image from the DiscMaster archives, with short titles like "The Heiress" and "Blossom (Afternoon"). The accompanying page has a title (The Walker, The Spacewalker, and The Timewalker respectively) along with the text I input during the game with my interpretations of both the artifact and the cards. The title page of the zine reads "ArchaeOS: Testimony of Interpretation. Licensed to Renkon"

The back cover reads: "ArchaeOS is a sacred repository of the Old Digital Age. As part of the duties of your pilgrimage, we ask that you preserve this record of your testimony, as a contribution to our continued mission for generating The Fractal Archive. Thank you for your service, and remember: "Mercurius semper vincit." Made with ArchaeOS 1993. Search 'ArchaeOS' on www.itch.io"
