Ok, I'm translating the scribbles and typing them up. Its very slow progress and some is very hard to read. It is taking forever. Page one is almost done and that's taking me 15 mins. If you can wait long enough I should have the first part translated within the next few weeks - but no promises.
What I suggest we do is have those who can understand it type up the pages they can read (maybe assign ten pages per person or something) than have Emil read it to make sure the translation is 'pure Emil'.

Excellent. Thanks, qckbeam.
By the way, Emil meantioned that he added some unknown extra something to the package.. what was it?

Thank you, qckbeam! I hope you can enjoy the journal as much as we do it now and don't have only trouble with it!
And good luck with RL!

thanks. the way I understand Thief 3 was suppost to be a single and multi-player. useing the unreal 1 engine. but so far everything else seems to be what we have played...wonders what went wrong. since they were planing on releaseing a editor with it. I've read about THief 2 gold and it sounded good but could not make it out clearly to really understand it. kinda like they're choise for movies though. anyway thanks.

Oh wow, this is neat stuff! No need for apologies, qckbeam; your situation is more than understandable. An update as to "what the hell is going on already!" was all we really needed. Thanks for getting on this.

Very interesting stuff, thanks qckbeam. :thumb:

Thank you all for being so understanding about this :)
If anyone would like a transcription I'd be more than happy to do it. I know that some of the scans are a bit blurry, and some of the handwriting is a bit hard to read. It is much easier to read in person, so I wouldn't mind typing it up at all if you guys would like that.
I'm working on the second PDF which will have another 50 pages or so of information. It contains much, much more information relating to Thief III, and I think everyone will find it interesting (especially some of the Glyph Magic bits). I could very well have it up tonight, although it will probably be finished closer to 11:00PM EST. If not tonight I can say with certainty I'll have it tomorrow morning. Thanks again guys :)
Oh yes, the extra Emil sent me was a very cool, black, Thief t-shirt. I'll post a picture of that and the package it came in (which has an interesting return address) ;)

This is excellent. I love page 46 :)
Just wish it was easier to read... Oh well, what little I can understand is cool.
