Decks of Destiny Labyrinths Journal

Yes; exactly. I was totally baffled by the idea of the journals when DoD was advertised, but now that I've got all the 'kit' from the last 2 years in one place, you can see that there is a system not found in any other table top roleplaying game: The labyrinth hexes are a 1:8 map of your MH tile lay-out; the cards are your detailed records of relatively standard things that appear; the journal is your permanent record of what goes where; and all of it is sufficiently modular that you quickly break it down for storage and be ready to go again in minutes.

The only part of the 'system' that is not fully developed is the set of cards containing things you run across in dungeons. I.e., traps, encounters, treasures, the full range of monsters and humanoid races, etc. We have enough examples of how such decks work that you can imagine what a comprehensive supply would look like, but I suspect it will take another 1-2 years of publications before all the pieces come together.
