Just Roll with It from ParadoxPort is an RPG-inspired habit journal that plays more like a tabletop game or a jaunt through a DnD ruleset book. You level up, encounter enemies and characters, complete tasks and generally, build a more functional lifestyle around goals you set yourself. It’s a nerd’s ultimate dream. Seriously, I would know.



You ever wish your normal, everyday life was more like a video game? More specifically, you ever wish you could pull off some DnD (Dungeons & Dragons for you non-geeks) shit in real life, cast spells, level up and explore a mysterious realm that’s not filled with human-eating billionaires? Yeah, me too. Well, unfortunately, as much as we all want to escape this fucked up reality, that’s not a possibility just yet. But you can outfit your pack with the Just Roll with It RPG-inspired habit journal from ParadoxPort. It’s the next best thing.

What the hell is this sorcery, you ask? Allow me to regale you. It’s a first edition journal that allows you to explore, level up, and have some fun with healthy habit forming practices. Finally, you can be the hero of your own story. But like a real hero, with a sword, shield, and some pretty gnarly stuff. The journal uses “behavioral and psychological sciences” to deliver adventure, role-playing and a “more fulfilling life.” How’s it work? Well, you choose a hero, explore a realm on a unique map, track your progress and level up, all using personal goals. Strap in, we’re taking the Hobbits to Isengard.

What the heck is an RPG-inspired habit journal?

Just Roll with It is a colorful, hardback journal — or a PDF if you don’t want a physical book — filled with beautiful artwork, fantasy-inspired content, and habit-forming solutions. Imagine going to the book store and picking up a regular old journal to write all your weird head canons down, but a million times better. It’s actually a lot more like following a DnD ruleset book. There’s a prelude to introduce you to the world and lore, a story to follow, and individual tasks and games to play. Pretty damn cool, honestly.

In the journal you track everything from gold, to XP, and hitpoints and that carries over day-to-day, just like it would in a video game or DnD session. Realistically, interacting with Just Roll with It is like playing a tabletop game. Each day you move one square on a pre-configured map which correlates with encounters and characters you’ll meet on your journey. ParadoxPort explains there are over 100 pages of unique encounters, side quests, and story elements. In addition, there are over 20 pages of spell scrolls, and over 90 pages of journaling and progress tracking content. And it all follows a compelling narrative complete with a mysterious big bad foe and an epic journey Tolkien would be jealous of.

Who is it for?

Anyone who loves tabletop games, roleplaying, cosplaying, and a bit of fantasy fun. Read: Nerds and geeks.
