I've opened Affinity. I've fled screaming in confusion back to this thread. many thanks to everyone who linked helpful things last time. I am still looking for any TTRPG Layout 101 For Babies resources you have!!
[whispering into the void] does anybody have like TTRPG Layout 101 For Babies resources. I don't have the first idea about how to go from the mess of text I have rn to, you know, something that could be read or even played by other people. and crucially I don't have any money
