Introduction
Use this template for the principal text of the book. The main body is set in a two-column layout intended for screen reading and print export. The first paragraph under a heading should use the .body-no-indent class, with subsequent paragraphs using .body-indent.
The styling here is deliberately close to the original Word template: strong uppercase display headings, smaller subheads, justified body copy, compact indents, restrained rules, and table treatment intended to stand apart from narrative text.
Using the Template
Replace placeholder text, duplicate sections as needed, and keep major content inside the #main-content container so the table of contents script can index the headings automatically.
- Keep major sections as
h2. - Use
h3andh4for nested structure. - Avoid very wide tables inside the two-column flow; use
.full-width-blockfor wider elements.
Example Text Box
For example: this box is intended for Keeper guidance, worked examples, fictional illustrations, or explanatory inserts. It reproduces the spirit of the Word template’s tinted example text treatment while remaining web-safe and print-friendly.
Lists
Bulleted and numbered lists are set slightly inset from the measure, with restrained spacing so they remain visually integrated with the surrounding text.
- Use numbered lists when sequence matters.
- Use bullets for unordered material.
- Avoid a single orphaned list item when a short sentence will do the same work.
NPC Stat Blocks and Skills
For character summaries, use the stat block below. It is presented in a monospaced grid rather than tab stops, because HTML tab behaviour is inconsistent across browsers and print engines.
Attacks per round: 1
- Brawl35% (17/7), damage 1D3
- Shotgun 12-gauge40% (20/8), damage 4D6/2D6/1D6
- Thompson SMG30% (16/6), damage 1D10+2
Armor: none.
Skills: none.
Tables
Tables are styled to stand apart from the body text, with a dark heading band, compact small caps emphasis, and clear row division. Apply .full-width-block when the table should span both columns.
| Outcome Level | Result |
|---|---|
| Fumble | Out of position: take a penalty die on the next action. |
| Critical | Prime position: add one bonus die to the character’s next action. |
Subsections
Secondary and tertiary headings are included in the automatic contents list. This keeps the web edition navigable without requiring manual page-number maintenance.
A Note on Player Handouts
When practical, place handouts in a discrete appendix or at the end of the document so they can be printed or exported independently from Keeper-only material.
In HTML, that usually means isolating handouts into their own section, article, or file. For a print-PDF workflow, you can also apply page breaks before each handout.
A Note on Indexes
For short releases, an index is frequently unnecessary. For longer works, especially those with dense settings or rules reference material, it is often worth producing a separate appendix or linked web index.
Appendix
This section is a placeholder for further content. Duplicate this pattern as required for scenarios, appendices, handouts, or stat compilations.
