Wayfarer

Your character keeps a journal. You just have to play.

Like it? Toss some support :)

Every level you gain becomes a chapter, written in the first person by your character: where you went, who you traveled with, what you found, what you experienced, and how it felt. Then you can change any of it, add to it, and read the whole thing back as a book!

"Crossed into Westfall for the first time. Even the air tastes different here. Every scarecrow faces the same way. Towards the sea. I checked a dozen of them."

No two journals read alike. Your race, class, talents, faith and choices shape the voice, and every character walks the story in their own order.

It writes as you play

Places: new zones, the towns you pass through, and returning home to your people's lands.
Fights: what you killed most, rare creatures, duels with friends.
Company: the friends you level with, by name. Who stuck around, and who came back.

Crafting: fishing, mining, tailoring and the rest each have their own voice, plus the first rare thing you ever make.
A chapter signoff: where you were when you leveled, at dawn, at dusk, or in the dead of night, and any holiday going on.

Your Character's Story

Who are you: A few optional questions in the intro: how you see the world, what you believe in, what you fear, your weakness, who you're writing to. The journal takes it from there.

Questions from the road: As you level your character grows and changes with the experiences they have, and so, the road asks you something, and your answer follows you.

Class Identity: hunters write about their pets by name, warlocks about their demons, undead paladins about a Light that burns. And a priest with too many points in Shadow may notice the ink turning black…

It's your journal

Edit anything: Change a paragraph and it's yours forever; everything you didn't touch keeps writing itself.

Sticky Notes: on any level, and private notes for whatever else.

The Story so far: your whole journey as a book, cover and chapters, with page-turning sounds.

Copy Text:to keep or share anywhere.

Add your own lines to the addon: add your own phrases (a small separate addon, so updates never touch them).

Read your friends' stories

Inspect another Wayfarer user and a Journal tab appears in their inspect window. Read their adventure exactly as they wrote it. Sharing is your choice, and private notes are never shared.

Native WoW look

Torn parchment, dark leather, stone, or if you want, modern themes. Readable in any combination. Sounds, gentle animations, and a level bubble you can fold the journal into.

Commands

/wf: open or fold the journal · /wf index · /wf story · /wf note <text> · /wf read <name>

Good to know

*Your journal is saved per character in your WTF folder. Updating Wayfarer never touches it. Like every addon, it's written to disk when you log out or /reload, so after a long writing session, a quick /reload keeps it safe.

*Manual install: unzip into: World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\

*Light on resources: it records numbers, not essays. Sixty levels takes a few hundred kilobytes.
