This adventure is so cool. I love the extra mechanics and am excited to run it. A question. Super practical and feel free to not answer it question :D In my own design I am struggling for the sharp borders. I really like your take on the relevant patterns. Was wondering if you could explain or point me to a tutorial on how to create a document with borders similar to your own. I have a design I am just struggling to figure out the insertion :D Or do you use a design program and do each page individually?

Thanks again for making something great.

Hi, thanks so much, I am glad you enjoy the adventure.

If you are referring to the page border pattern: I used Affinity (Designer and Publisher) to lay out the adventure. I drew the border pattern in Designer and replicated the element down until it filled an A5 page, exported it as SVG and inserted it into a master page called "Decorations", which I then applied to most pages of the adventure. A more professional way would be to create a "Textured Intensity Brush" with the pattern - look it up on youtube, it's fairly simple to do.

hth, good luck with your own designs!
