HAIL, AND WELL MET, ADVENTURER!
Field Notes journals for the fifth edition of “the world’s greatest roleplaying game,” Dungeons & Dragons. With Character Journals for players, and Game Master & Monster / Encounter Journals for GMs, our 5E Journals cover all three D&D core rulebooks.
We see a lot of graph paper here at Field Notes, but even after years of making our Memo Books, it’s hard to see those little squares without wanting to map out a route through a subterranean dungeon or an abandoned castle. Which path will lead us to the dragon, berserker, or whatever other enemies stand between us, treasure, and glory?
While our original Field Notes served us well for general map-making and note-taking, we were craving purpose-built books to track our progress. With some help from our more-experienced dungeoneering friends, we set out on an adventure to make the three best, most complete, most useful 5E role-playing and game-mastering journals available.
