Yet Another TTRPG Typeset

(Mirrored on the Discord at Discord)

My friend wrote a TTRPG. He let me typeset it and share it here. I think it turned out pretty cool :3

Featuring a fairly stylized table of contents, cross-references, a two-axis alignment graph with cetz, and all the nice stuff like hyphenation that typst brings.

Full PDF attached. It’s designed to be nice when printed out, so view with even spreads.

This is still a draft version, and suggestions/notes are appreciated. On the todo list is:

  • there are two outlines. I think the second one is better?
  • not coded with accessibility rn :(
  • need to figure out how to not say Table 1: before the table.
  • maybe add an index?
  • I love the archetype heading fonts, but I’ll probably need to manually kern that for it to look nice. It looks like a cjk font and has some pretty cursed (none?) kerning.
  • the knight’s prologue doesn’t show as first in the outline or from a screen reader… How would content get visually placed in that defined place while still showing as a different place in the “canonical” order?
  • various editing, typesetting, code style, and other nitpicks

here’s a version with the, probably somewhat cursed, source code attached

little attempts were made to make it perfect style—i prioritized typesetting iteration speed

Do “TTRGP” and “TTRPG” both refer to the same thing?

Aw dangit, is there a typo somewhere? RGP isn’t anything as far as I’m aware, and would be a typo of Role Playing Game.

Well, the forum post title has exactly this typo.
Andrew could just have mentioned that…

I thought “search on page” (a.k.a. Ctrl+F) is a known tool. Since I saw the abbreviations for the first time, I had no idea if it’s a typo or not, so I asked just in case.

Apologies, yes, it was a typo. I searched in the pdf but not in this forum post page which is why I was confused :p
