Free Responsive Guidebook Template

I've wanted to do something to give back to the forum roleplay community for a while. The last couple of weeks I've been focussed on a private project, but when it came to working on the guidebook I finally had a ahah! moment where I knew what I could do.

Here's the result, a responsive tabbed guidebook that's got some super basic styling. It's HTML and CSS only, and the code is annotated throughout.

On small screens, the left sidebar collapses down to a dropdown navigation menu positioned at the top of the page instead. 

You can find the template on my ko-fi page here. I would like to create an installation and set-up guide, but just need to carve out a bit of time to do it. 

For now, I'm going to release the template out into the wild in the hopes that I might actually be able to read some of the fabulous looking site lore out there on my mobile. You can restyle it however you want, it's a base to be used. Enjoy!

It gets better for me with The Ninth World Guidebook (2015). It’s a lot more cohesive and approachable, I think, even if this is an expansion of the setting material in the main book, not a restatement. It reminds me a lot of the Glorantha Guide in the way the presentation is giving me slices of history, culture and social systems all at the same time in relatively digestible chunks.

The art is starting to really come together for me here. A lot of folks loooove the Numenera art. I don’t dislike it at all, but it doesn’t bowl me over or make my brain crackle the way other game art can. Here, though, some stuff does get me! Love that red knight. Some of the landscapes really work here. Some still don’t though, like the weird floating mask things. Stuff like that seems too random and takes me out. But then the weird folk who hunt humans are pretty rad, and well designed — they look unsettlingly alien.

I’m starting to find the fusion of science and fantasy more appealing here too. This one I am almost certain is symptom of just increasingly familiarity. Initially, I thought the tech seemed too…I dunno, New Agey? I have a hard time nailing this down. It still feels…violet. But I am OK with it. I’ve really come to like the robot designs.

But I dunno, am I sold on this? I’m not sure. I doooooo kind of want to read the proper Cypher System rules. I’m not going to rush out or anything — I still have Invisible Sun to attempt to comprehend — but if we cross paths, I might pick it up…

Okay, I want to just comment my opinion on the safety process subject that previous anon mentioned:

As someone who had their first experience with MCYT via Qsmp, I was shocked when the ex-admins revealed that they were forbidden of communicating with the CCs, even for just discussing rp aspects, because I always thought that was the bare minimum that you could do when you roleplay, specially before any heavy topics are involved.

Qsmp had a lot of very strong topics involved in it's stories and I was just impressed that only the CCs were able to discuss boundaries and if they were comfortable with stuff like ships with one another, when they would spend most of their live time with other admins as rp partners, and they were not able to do the same with said admins.

It explained to me why Ama didn't try to contact Tubbo in private before when entire confusion ordeal between him and Fred happened. Which shows that communication was key, not only for boundaries and the ability to manage heavity topics with the best of their ability, but also to keep the story and rp consistent.

Communicating with your rp partners before anything that could affect them or their characters is common etiquette in the written rp scene (where I'm from) that all of this it's... incredibly frustrating.

- 🧁

Yes to all of this, especially considering that for a lot of ccs, their egg was their primary rp partner that they would roleplay with almost constantly ?

Honestly when we learnt about how communication between admins and ccs was close to nonexistent it explained a lot of things for me, the Tubbo and Fred misunderstanding being one.

Even without talking about roleplay boundaries, when a streamer had an issue or wanted to know if something was allowed, their options shouldn’t have been limited to ask a child to use their « dragon magic » for answers or straight up shout a question at the gods in the sky and pray it would be heard

tldr : qstudios pick up a ttrpg or larp guidebook please

Can I ask what "ICC" and "3-3-3" mean in your rules and guidebooks?

ICC means "in-character chat" - but in effect, it just means a rapidfire RP, where the players all dedicate a few hours to quicker, back-and-forth roleplay. We have some discord channels and some external chatboxes (on CBOX) dedicated to this form of roleplay. Of course, you're not required to use it - plenty of people/RPs use classic threads without the timing pressure!

3-3-3 is an older forum rating system referring to the types of content we allow on our site. A reference chart is here, but in our case, 3-3-3 means we allow swearing, sexual content, and explicit violence. However, RP containing sensitive/mature content do still require CWs for the benefit of our members (as described in the rules).

Lockwood & Co tabletop roleplay project

All right Lockwood & Co folks, let's go apeshit.

I wish there was a tabletop Lockwood and Co roleplay, but none exists. So I have to create it (at least give a try).

-> Is there anybody interested ?

I would love to master a campaign in the Lockwood universe but for that, I need a guidebook. No fans has done it yet and I was wondering if I could find people to help me write it. It is quite a challenge, because it needs : characters sheets, ghost bestiary, lore, a few plots, etc.

There'll be at least a english version and a french version because I'm french B)

It'll be a fan project, no money invested, the guidebook PDF will be free for everyone.

In short, I was wondering if there were fans as crazy like me in here. Please contact me or comment this post
