Tome of the Stenographer: One-Sided.
🕑 Added 2021-11-29 17:01:07 +0000 UTCGreetings All!
Another item designed at Gameholcon - the Tome of the Stenographer.
While a Common item, I really enjoy the purpose of taking notes. While this isn’t an item for putting the burden of conversations on the GM, it in fact is the opposite. They are able to give small summaries or assist to a player/character without requiring a mountain of digging. I was really thrilled by the idea.
As always, your thoughts, and questions are encouraged!
Updates: Grammar fixes.
I hope you enjoy this one! Truly, as always and ever sincerely, Thank You.
