Fantasy TTRPG Journal
A tea-stained fantasy journal bound with string, capped with brass corners, and dangling tiny glass potion bottles from its spine.

Aged cardstock pages nestle inside a matboard cover collaged with scrap paper, finished with antique corner protectors, filigree, and little corked bottles swinging from the binding. Alyssa Knoll walks through a beginner-friendly string binding that keeps every page removable, so you can rearrange sections as your character levels up or your campaign grows. Perfect for GMs, players, or anyone who wants a handmade spellbook of a notebook for their tabletop adventures.
