@malin Yeah, I keep coming back to LaTeX because the automation and macros are really REALLY useful, and the mechanisms for modularizing chunks of content are straightforward.
Where I keep gnashing my teeth is in what I’d have to call “production quality” items — Using fonts that are used by the main system (#MotW and "3rd Man" for example), and the page-geometry variations noted, but also things like background images (which you seem to have solved), and a host of other random little things.
In a despicable act of shameless self-promotion, I'd like to announce that my latest Monster of the Week mystery "Cartoon Time" is now available. Can the Hunters help an aspiring witch rescue her grandfather from a place almost beyond imagination? Will they be able to do this before it's too late?

Semi-related to my previous post — If you’re a GM, and you’re looking for ways to drive your #TTRPG campaigns based on #PlayerCharacter #motivations, take a look at Media Labs Books’ "Game Master’s Handbook of Proactive Roleplaying" (https://medialabbooks.com/products/9781964487434_the-game-masters-handbook-of-proactive-roleplaying).
I say “semi-related” because a fair bit of what’s presented there is already baked in to #Fate and #MotW — it may just not be obvious how to leverage those systems’ rules to this kind of end. 😉
So, I’m curious how much interest there is here in the rules-light, fiction-first systems that I’m mostly interested in these days. Examples include #Fate (either #FateCore or #FateAccelerated) and #MotW (Monster of the Week).
Ultimately, while I’m planning on writing and sharing (and, honestly, hopefully selling) materials for those, I’m only just getting started on those as projects.
I’ll likely continue with those efforts even if there’s not a market for them, but curious to know… 🙂

It wasn't all intense action and big choices in our penultimate episode of season 3 of $2 Creature Feature...
Sometimes little aliens have problems with big steps, ok?
