homebrewery VS kanka

I want to create an east-asian inspired tavern. Once I'm done I'll post on this subreddit a polished version (using The Homebrewery). By commenting you are giving me permission to copy your suggestions.

I made this one to mimic the Baldur's Mouth newspaper, as seen in BG3, using the Homebrewery - I created a template here.

Quite a few people seem to think there should be (and are surprised to find there isn't) something that lets them dump in their Google Doc design and have it magically formatted into a pretty PDF for them. Something like Homebrewry, but not D&D-centric, and they probably expect it to be even easier than however you edit stuff on there.

One example that I contribute to: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com

It is a code mirror app that outputs md styled like dnd books. It’s very much a “round peg in square hole” project, using html/css to create print materials, but for many it is good enough. It is just html and css, and allows customization, and precise styling requires precise css properties.

As you noted, it does only work well in one browser, Chrome on desktop (even though I think all the devs use FF as their daily driver). But as another commenter noted, the answer is that you design on one machine and share via pdf.

For layout, you can start with something like The Homebrewery.

For a full record of development, visit our Github Page - https://github.com/naturalcrit/homebrewery

If you know your way around Docker or can set up a php -environment you can host Kanka yourself.

Here is the github repository. There is a bit of a tutorial there but I don't know how good it is as it did not exist when I was building my instance (I also think it uses Docker, while I just host on Windows with WAMP).

Here's the Github page

Yeah, you can find the github here. I use Wampserver to host it.

Open Source, and easily self-hostable ideally via a docker container similar to kanka

We also use kanka.io as a player resource. They take turns writing the journal entry for the current session, linking up NPCs, locations etc, and making notes of the stuff their characters learn and/or figure out.

I use https://kanka.io for my games and you can create a custom calendar there. You can add weather, moon cycles, seasons, all the fun stuff.

I use https://kanka.io to manage my campaign, if you're familiar with World Anvil it's the same idea. Like a wiki site for your game.
