Blake’s Notebook is an item that appears in the v2 Update/Expansion of The Thing 2 RPG. It appears only in Story Mode and is a collection of historical story articles and concept art relating to the game. There are 73 pages in total to collect and no reward for 100% completion. It exists just to expand on the fiction within the game and to show case some of Jose’s cool concept art along with some of my random notes & thoughts for people who like that stuff.
