Fun alternative character sheets or folios?

First off, I really don’t care for the default 5E character sheets. I feel like there is never enough space to convey what you want and things aren’t where I would personally prefer them.

I generally enjoy making my own custom character sheets, but I am about to join an in-person game as a player and I was thinking of being a bit extra about my sheet. I’ve seen some advertisements for notebooks or folios that are relatively small/lightweight but have multiple pages so there’s room for all your features and gear. When I saw these ads I didn’t pay them too much attention because I almost never play as a character and when I do, it’s never usually in person. Because of that, I do t recall what they were called or where to get them.

Anyone got any suggestions for cool stuff you being to in-person games to keep track of your character? I’m not really just looking for a simple pdf of an alternative sheet, but more like physical books, notepads, dice towers/holders, or clipboards that I can bring to game night.

Thanks in advance

    I like taking a graphing paper notebook. It’s a minor thing, but it makes drawing maps and keeping little note blocks. I also like to have a few different colors of highlighters to assist in making quick references.

    Kind of a weird other inclusion, but getting fantasy sticker sheet, character relevant if possible add a bit to the experience.

      Yeah! I can’t live without my grid paper notepads. Not just for D&D, I use them for everything lol. But yeah they’re great for sketching maps, especially.

      I like to make cards too. Like cards that describe the various things my character can do like cast certain spells or use certain features and I can activate them like it’s yugioh lol
