Hey y'all!

I love what you've done with this hack, and I think this jam is a great idea. To contribute, I've written up some rules for playing an elf, but I wanna know how you've formatted your stuff? Line spacing, fonts, and all that jazz. Thanks!

Hi, Waanor! Sorry for the delay, we were full of work and everyday life issues. I hope it's not too late to answer!

If you email the author, Martín, at nargosiprenk@gmail.com, he can provide you with the .indd files he used for layout. Sadly, the fonts used are not free to use, unlike the images, so he cannot upload them to be available for the Jam. If you can find them elsewhere, they are called the Candara family of fonts for all the text except rank 1 Titles, which used the font Old English Text MT.

About the spacing:

  • Rank 1 Titles have 6mm of space after the paragraph. The font size is 30.
  • Rank 2 (size 16) & 3 (size 13, Candara Italic) Titles have 2 mm of space after the paragraph.
  • Basic text (size 10) have 4 mm of space after the paragraph.
    • The paragraph before a list has 0mm; likewise, each item in the list has 0mm, except for the last, which has 4mm again.
  • Examples are in Candara Light Italic, with 5mm of left ident.
  • The lists of Lifepaths and Skills have special formatting to better highlight them when they are printed. It's... very much a pain in the lower back to explain it this way, so let us know if you want the .indd file or email Martín to know more, :).

Another alternative is to give Martín your text and some instructions as to how it would fit in the layout, and he will be happy to do it for you!
