There are no journal prompts, these are just small, blank journals with a few pages dedicated to full-color art. This journal set is available now. RH will also be releasing "<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/603902/the-book-of-holding-dungeons-and-dragons-by-official-dungeons-and-dragons-licensed-products/9781984824615/" target="_blank">The Book of Holding</a>" journal for $19.99 on August 4 of this year. This is another D&D themed blank journal, but larger and more "deluxe" (7.2" x 9", 144 pages) with a magnetic closure and some full-color art inside. The cover is the stylized dragon ampersand first shown as a cover of a Dragon+ issue and that has since appeared on t-shirts and some other places. It's a neat piece.

The cover has the same artwork as the special edition Player's Handbook and reads "Player's Notebook" instead. Definitely check out the other D&D licensed products available now on Merchoid, which include a D&D d20 lamp, umbrella, money box shaped like a book, and some other fun stuff. I just got my d20 lamp and money box, and so far love them both!</p></blockquote><p></p>
