Mike Gunderloy is my father. He has largely distanced himself from all these earlier portions of his life (not, I think, necessarily out of distaste, but merely disinterest) and is now quietly semi-retired in Oregon with his wife. When our family was living in Indiana, I inherited from him a large quantity of his old material relating to his games. The stack of aged papers is approximately a foot high. Some of it is redundant with other portions, but much of it is in very small handwriting, so attempting to look through this material is an enormously daunting task. Nonetheless, I have been told that transcribing some of this digitally may hold some small interest to certain portions of the general public.
The box in question.
Towards the top of the stack is a document, the first page of which is headed "Known Spells". I can only hope that this means 'spells that are known to exist', since the idea of one magic-user knowing all these boggles the mind. Spell levels listed are between 1 and 14, with between 21 and 50 different spells listed for each level (though an additional sheet includes more spells of levels with too many entries to fit, bringing the maximum up to 56 separate 4th-level spells). Subsequent typed and handwritten pages include descriptions of what I hope is every listed spell, though even the table of contents is far more than enough to fill a post.
The index of Known Spells, level 1-8 (excluding select spells of 2-4th)
Levels 1-8 take up the front side of one page, 9-14 much of the back, in tiny, cramped handwriting. Each of the first 8 levels are headed with a differently-colored circle of unclear meaning; higher levels have no such device.
Ibid, levels 9-14
