From Lightspress Handbook: Let’s be real. Traditional character sheets are more of a hassle than they’re worth. They’re restrictive, limited, and end up with notes crammed into the margins because there’s just not enough space to capture everything. Enter journaling. With a journal, you’re not just filling out a form, you’re telling a story. You’ve got the freedom to explore your character’s motivations, backstory, and growth in a way that no standard character sheet can match. Want to capture your character’s thoughts after a particularly intense session? Write it down. Need to track relationships, goals, or personal milestones? Your journal is the perfect tool. It’s a dynamic way to engage with your character on a deeper level, making the roleplaying experience far more immersive and personal.

Journaling allows you to flesh out your character’s narrative in real-time, capturing those little details that make the game memorable. You’re not just tracking stats, you’re documenting a journey. And let’s be honest, that’s a lot more interesting than ticking boxes on a sheet of paper. With a journal, you’ve got all the space you need to record what really matters. Those moments of character growth, shifting dynamics between characters, or evolving relationships. It’s about moving beyond the mechanics and getting to the heart of what makes your character tick. Once you start journaling, you’ll wonder how you ever managed with just a character sheet.

Them (after reading the above): Cool, but, where is the character sheet?

I have no chill today. You get it or you don’t.
