Installation

Just clone the repo. From terminal:

$ git clone https://github.com/Krozark/RPG-LaTeX-Template.git
$ cd RPG-Latex-Template
$ xelatex book.tex
$ pdflatex cards.tex

If you don't have LaTeX installed, the following should help you out:

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install texlive-full

Arch

sudo pacman -S texlive-bin texlive-core texlive-latexextra

It's a bit unclear exactly what subset of features this module needs. As a general rule, we'd recommend installing one of larger ones.

Todo's

• Consider implementing more complex tables for monsters, etc.
• Clean up the table-preset
• Create more elegant solution for spacing before and after boxes (using \vspace is rather rigid when two boxes follow in a row)
• Add subtitle option for boxes
• Sort out box-decals when boxes break column or page
• Look into adding the ability to add large images to the document. There are some documents made with InDesign out there that accomplish this quite well.
