This file is a tutorial and example of how to use the rpg-module class to typeset your fantasy role-playing game adventure.

\part{Introduction}

The rpg-module class is a free resource for authors of adventure modules for fantasy roleplaying games.
It is inspired by the look and feel of the 1981 ``Red Book'' Basic incarnation of the world's most popular FRPG.

To prepare your work using this class, you will need \LaTeX, a free document preparation system for high-quality
typesetting. The rpg-module class was developed and tested using \TeX Live, which you can download from
\href{https://latex-project.org/ftp.html}{the \LaTeX~Project website}.

Unlike a conventional word processor, the \LaTeX~philosophy is to separate the job of writing and editing content
from the job of typesetting it for publication. Authors can concentrate on writing their text without fussing
about what fonts to choose or what size the page margins or table columns should be. The rpg-module class takes care
of all that. Another advantage is that all documents produced using this template will have a similar look and
feel, so if you want to publish a series of works they will appear consistent.

\LaTeX~uses a markup language in order to describe document structure and presentation. This
file---\verb|rpg-module.pdf|---was created from the markup file \verb|rpg_module.tex|. If you open \verb|rpg_module.tex|
in an ordinary text editor, you will see the markup commands and some explanatory comments (prefixed by \%).
\LaTeX~converts your source text, combined with the markup and the rpg-module class, into a high quality PDF document.

You can find numerous tutorials online to get you started with the basics of document preparation using \LaTeX.
Part~\ref{using_the_module_class} of this document explains the features of the rpg-module class. Part~\ref{example_dungeon}
is an example of how to create a dungeon module using the class.

\part{Using the Module Class}
\label{using_the_module_class}

\section{Class Options}

At the beginning of your document, load the rpg-module class with \verb|\documentclass[&lt;options&gt;]{rpg_module}|. You can
specify the following options:

\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{lX}
\verb|a4paper|      &amp; Use A4 paper size (default)\\
\verb|letterpaper|  &amp; Use US letter paper size\\
\verb|sansserif|    &amp; Use a sans-serif font, URW Gothic (default).\\
\verb|serif|        &amp; Use a serifed font. This option will use ITC Souvenir if available, URW Bookman otherwise.\\
\verb|tightsqueeze| &amp; Reduce the spacing between table rows and around headings for a more compact layout.\\
\verb|acdesc|       &amp; Use descending AC in stat blocks (default for Basic stats)\\
\verb|acasc|        &amp; Use ascending AC in stat blocks\\
\verb|acb1|         &amp; Use \href{http://zenopusarchives.blogspot.com/2014/02/ascending-ac-in-holmes-basic.html}{the B1 AC style} in stat blocks\\
\verb|acsw|         &amp; Use \href{http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/}{Swords \&amp; Wizardry} AC style in stat blocks\\
\verb|basic|        &amp; Use Basic monster stat blocks (default)\\
\verb|advanced|     &amp; Use Advanced monster stat blocks (not yet implemented, planned for a future release)\\
\end{tabularx}

\subsection*{Paper Size}

rpg-module supports the letter paper size (used in USA) and A4 (used in Europe and the rest of the world). Changing the paper size
does not scale the text on the page; rather it adjusts the margins so the pages will be typeset identically regardless
of which size is selected. This allows module writers to easily create two almost identical PDFs for use in different regions.

As A4 pages are slightly taller, you have the option of a running header if you select \verb|a4paper|. This option is not available
in Letter paper size.

\subsection*{Fonts}

You can select a serifed or sans-serif font. The default font is URW Gothic (sans-serif), a free font which is similar to
ITC Avant Garde Gothic. Avant Garde was used in many early TSR modules, including B1 and B2.

If you choose the serif option, the rpg-module class will try to use ITC Souvenir. Souvenir is used for the 1981 Basic rulebook
and modules including B3 (Green cover), X1 and X2. However, it is a commercial font which is
not distributed with \LaTeX. If you don't have Souvenir installed, the rpg-module class will use URW Bookman instead, which is
included in the standard \TeX Live distribution.

If you want to obtain the Souvenir font, note that it was bundled with some versions of CorelDraw. It is more economical to buy
CorelDraw with its bundled font license than to buy the font directly from the foundry.
To configure the font for use with \LaTeX, you need the Adobe Type 1 font definitions (.pfb and .afm files) from CorelDraw
and the corresponding LaTeX .tfm and .vf files, which you can obtain from the \href{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/corelpak}{Corelpak} package. The
\href{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/corelpak-contrib}{Corelpak-contrib} package may also be useful to help with installation.

\subsection*{Stat Blocks}

The rpg-module class is designed to be extensible.  This version of the class includes Basic-style monster stat blocks
(\verb|basic|). See p.\pageref{stat_blocks} for more detail.

\verb|advanced| stat blocks are planned for the next version of the class. In principle it is possible to define a new stat
block format for any RPG system. If several systems are defined, authors can compile the same work with stats for different
systems simply by changing the option passed to \verb|documentclass|.

\section{Layout Options}

\subsection*{Headings}

The defined heading styles are listed in Table~\ref{tab:heading_styles}.
If you want a table of contents in your document, simply place a \verb|\tableofcontents| command where you would like it to appear.

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{lp{0.25\linewidth}&gt;{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X}
\tableheader{Style                     &amp; Description                 &amp; Features}
\texttt{\textbackslash part}           &amp; Chapter heading             &amp; Numbered, included in table of contents (ToC)\\
\texttt{\textbackslash section}        &amp; Section heading             &amp; Not numbered, left justified, upper case, included in ToC\\
\texttt{\textbackslash section*}       &amp; Section heading (alternate) &amp; Not numbered, centred, included in ToC\\
\texttt{\textbackslash subsection}     &amp; Location key                &amp; Numbered, not included in ToC\\
\texttt{\textbackslash subsection*}    &amp; Subheading/Table heading    &amp; Not numbered, not included in ToC\\
\texttt{\textbackslash subsubsection}  &amp; Sub-location key            &amp; Numbered with number and letter: ``7a.'' Not included in ToC\\
\texttt{\textbackslash subsubsection*} &amp; Sub-location key            &amp; Not numbered, not included in ToC\\
\end{tabularx}
\caption{Heading Styles}
\label{tab:heading_styles}
\end{table}

Location keys are numbered automatically starting from 1, and numbering is restarted after each section heading. You can override
the default numbering using the \verb|\setcounter| macro. For example, to continue the location key numbering starting at 20 on the
second level of your dungeon, insert \verb|\setcounter{subsection}{19}| before the first subsection heading on level 2.

\subsection*{Boxed Text}

To draw a box around any text, enclose it in the \verb|boxtext| environment:

\begin{boxtext}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Ut
purus elit, vestibulum ut, placerat ac, adipiscing vitae, felis.
Curabitur dictum gravida mauris. Nam arcu libero, nonummy
\end{boxtext}

\subsection*{Tables}

The rpg-module class uses the standard \verb|tabular| environment for tables. It defines a new \verb|\tableheader| macro which centres
the table headings and writes a horizontal rule of the correct width under each one, in the same style as the Basic rulebook.

You need to specify the number and format of each column in your table as usual: \verb|l| for left-aligned, \verb|c| for centred
and \verb|r| for right-aligned. The class also provides a new \verb|b| column type for bold, centred headings.

Here is an example. The table below has two columns: one centred and one left-aligned. So the table format
is defined using \verb|\begin{tabular}{cl}|. The heading rows are defined as bold and centred: \verb|\tableheader[b]{Damage &amp; Weapon Type}|.

\section*{New Weapon Damage Table}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{cl}
\tableheader[b]{Damage &amp; Weapon Type}
1-4 (1d4) &amp; Throwing Stick\\
1-6 (1d6) &amp; Composite Bow\\
1-4 (1d4) &amp; Cutting Axe\\
1-6 (1d6) &amp; Piercing Axe\\
1-8 (1d8) &amp; Khopesh\\
6-36 (6d6) &amp; Chariot\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

If you need to squeeze wide tables into a text column, you can control the inter-column spacing using \verb|\tabcolsep|,
like this:

\section*{Character Attacks}

\begin{center}
\addtolength{\tabcolsep}{-4.1pt}
\begin{tabular}{lccccccccccccc}
\tableheader{Attacker's Level &amp; 9 &amp; 8 &amp; 7 &amp; 6 &amp; 5 &amp; 4 &amp; 3 &amp; 2 &amp; 1 &amp; 0 &amp; -1 &amp; -2 &amp; -3}
Normal man &amp; 11 &amp; 12 &amp; 13 &amp; 14 &amp; 15 &amp; 16 &amp; 17 &amp; 18 &amp; 19 &amp; 20 &amp; 20 &amp; 20 &amp; 20\\
1st to 3rd &amp; 10 &amp; 11 &amp; 12 &amp; 13 &amp; 14 &amp; 15 &amp; 16 &amp; 17 &amp; 18 &amp; 19 &amp; 20 &amp; 20 &amp; 20\\
4th + higher &amp; 8 &amp; 9 &amp; 10 &amp; 11 &amp; 12 &amp; 13 &amp; 14 &amp; 15 &amp; 16 &amp; 17 &amp; 18 &amp; 19 &amp; 20\\
\end{tabular}
\addtolength{\tabcolsep}{4.1pt}
\end{center}

\vspace{1ex}\noindent The rpg-module class also defines two special-purpose tables: the Wandering Monster table and Monster Roster table. These tables
have pre-defined headings and each line is populated using a monster stat block (see the next section).

\noindent Wandering Monster tables are defined with:
\begin{quote}
\verb|\begin| \verb|{wanderingmonsters}[style]|
\end{quote}
The optional \verb|[style]| argument specifies the column type for headers. The \verb|[b]| style uses the same bold,
centred style used for the New Weapon Damage Table above. Each line of the Wandering Monster table is defined using:
\begin{quote}
\verb|\wanderitem[die roll]{monstername}{no. appearing}|
\end{quote}
\verb|[die roll]| is optional; if you omit it, each row will be numbered consecutively starting at 1. If you want to
roll 2d6 for wandering monster determination, then put \verb|[2]| on the first row and the following rows will be numbered
consecutively. Or if you want to use ranges, you can specify the range for each line like this: \verb|[01--10]|.
(A point of typographic pedantry: in \LaTeX, two hyphens will be typeset as an en-dash, ``--'', which is the correct length
of dash to use for numeric ranges. For parenthetical dashes use three hyphens to get the longer em-dash, ``---'').

\verb|{monstername}| is the key for the stat block; see the next section for an explanation.
\verb|{no. appearing}| is optional; if you leave it empty, the rpg-module class will use the default number appearing as defined in the stat block.

The Monster Roster table is similar, but the table headings are slightly different. Define the table with:
\begin{quote}
\verb|\begin{monsterroster}[style]|
\end{quote}
The first column is the location key, and there is an extra column for hit points. Each line in
the table is defined using:
\begin{quote}
\hspace{-2em}\verb|\rosteritem{locationkey}{monstername}{number}{hitpoints}|
\end{quote}
If the location key is defined as a \LaTeX~reference, the class will generate the correct location number and create a hyperlink to that section.

You can see examples of Wandering Monster and Monster Roster tables on p.\pageref{wanderingmonsters}.

\section{Monster Stat Blocks}
\label{stat_blocks}

The Basic stats style included with the rpg-module class has stats for all of the monsters in the Basic and Expert rulebooks.
To typeset a statblock, simply use:
\begin{quote}
\verb|\statblock{monstername}{noappearing}{hitpoints}|
\end{quote}
The rpg-module class will work out the correct singular or plural forms automatically, so
\verb|\statblock{gnoll}{1}{10}| gives:
\statblock{gnoll}{1}{10}
while \verb|\statblock{gnoll}{5}{16,14,12,9,8}| gives:
\statblock{gnoll}{5}{16,14,12,9,8}
If you prefer, there is also an inline style:
\begin{quote}
\hspace{-2em}\verb|\stats[description]{monstername}{noappearing}{hitpoints}|
\end{quote}
where the optional \verb|[description]| overrides the default name of the monster.
For example:\\[0.1em]

\noindent You find yourself face to face with the \stats[Gnoll Chieftain!]{gnoll}{1}{16}. He is flanked
by \stats[12 bodyguards: ]{gnoll}{12}{10 each}.\\[0.1em]

\noindent You can of course also define new monsters beyond those in the Basic and Expert rulebooks. Define the new
monster once at the beginning of your document, and then you can use it in the same way as the predefined
monsters above. The format for a new monster definition is:
\begin{quote}
\verb|\monster[pluralname]{label}{name}{stats}|
\end{quote}
where \verb|label| is the key you want to use for the monster (\verb|gnoll| in the examples above) and
\verb|name| is the (singular) name of the monster that will be displayed in the text, ``Gnoll''. The rpg-module
class can usually work out the plural form by following some simple rules, but if the plural is unusual,
you can specify it in the optional \verb|pluralname| field. For example, if you define:
\begin{quote}
\verb|\monster{octopus}{Octopus}{|\ldots
\end{quote}
you will get the default plural, ``Octopuses''. If you decide that the plural should instead be ``Octopodes'', you can override the default definition:
\begin{quote}
\verb|\monster[Octopodes]{octopus}{Octopus}{|\ldots
\end{quote}

\noindent The \verb|stats| field is a list of the monster stats, separated by ``\verb:|:''. It should contain the following items in order:
\renewcommand{\labelitemi}{$\bullet$}
\begin{itemize}\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
\item Type. This is only required where the monster is a subspecies of a general type, e.g. ``Dragon'', ``Lycanthrope'' or ``Man''. In all other cases
it should be left blank.
\item Put an asterisk (*) in this column if the monster requires silver, magic or special weapons to hit it. Leave empty otherwise.
\item \ArmourClass. This should be in descending AC format; use the \verb|acasc| option to the class if you want to convert it to ascending AC.
\item Hit Dice (including * or ** if applicable)
\item Movement per Turn
\item Movement per Round
\item Special Movement class, e.g. ``Fly'' or ``Swim''. Leave blank in most cases.
\item Special Movement per Turn
\item Special Movement per Round
\item Attacks (short form). Usually just the number of attacks, or ``3+special''. This format is used only in Wandering Monster and Monster Roster tables.
\item Attacks (long form). More verbose description of attacks, used in New Monster listing and stat blocks, e.g. ``2 claws\?bite\+breath''.
\footnote{Note that the slash character \texttt{/} is non-breaking (\LaTeX~will not place a line break after \texttt{/}). The rpg-module class provides a breaking
slash \texttt{\textbackslash ?} to overcome this problem. The class also provides \texttt{\textbackslash +}, which is a breaking version of +. Use of
\texttt{\textbackslash ?} and \texttt{\textbackslash +} in the long attack and damage fields prevents awkward line breaks in stat blocks.}
\item Damage (short form). Used in Wandering Monster and Monster Roster tables.
\item Damage (long form). Used in New Monster listing and stat blocks.
\item Save As. List the long form, e.g. ``Fighter: 3''. The short form is computed where required.
\item Morale
\item Alignment. List the long form, e.g. ``Chaotic''. The short form is computed where required. In case of monsters with variable alignment, specify ``Any''
here, and use the \verb|\changealignment| macro to specify as needed in the text. (For example, the Acolyte is defined with alignment Any but is given a specific
alignment in the Wandering Monster table on p.\pageref{wanderingmonsters}.)

\item No. Appearing. List the range when encountered as a wandering monster.
\item No. Appearing in Lair. List the range when encountered in the monster's lair or in the wilderness.
\item Treasure Type
\item XP
\end{itemize}

\noindent For example, suppose we create the following definition:\\[0.1em]

\monster[Minions of Set]{minion_set}{Minion of Set}{||0|5**|120'|40'||||1/1|weapon or bite or by form|1d8/1d12+poison|1d8 or 1d12+poison or by form|Fighter: 10|12|Chaotic|1--6|1--20|Nil|425}

\noindent\texttt{\textbackslash monster[Minions~of~Set]\{minion\_set\}\{Minion~of~Set\}\{||0|
5**|120'|40'||||1/1|weapon~or~bite~or~by~form|
1d8/1d12+poison|1d8~or~1d12+poison~or~by~form|
Fighter:~10|12|Chaotic|1--6|1--20|Nil|425\}}\\[0.1em]

\noindent Now any time we want to put stats for a Minion of Set in our text, we can use a definition like this:
\begin{quote}
\verb|\statblock{minion_set}{4}{25 each}|
\end{quote}
which produces a stat block like this:
\statblock{minion_set}{4}{25 each}
You can add details of your new monster with the environment:
\begin{quote}
\verb|\begin{newmonster}{minion_set}|
\verb|Text description of your monster here|\ldots\\
\verb|\end{newmonster}|
\end{quote}
You can see an example of what this looks like on p.\pageref{minion_set}.

If you want to redefine an existing monster, you can do so using exactly the same commands.

Finally, there is the \verb|statblockfreestyle| environment. This should be used sparingly; for most monsters, you should use
the standard macros to ensure consistency. However, sometimes you may want to include extra information which does not
fit into the standard stat blocks, such as the attributes of NPCs or spell lists:

% Define the standard stat block as well for use in tables

\monster{snefru_hotep}{Snefru-Hotep}{||5|C5|90'|30'||||1|mace or spell|1d6/spell|1d6 or spell|Cleric: 5|11|Chaotic|1|1|Nil|300}

\begin{statblockfreestyle}
\begin{ifbasicstats}
Snefru-hotep, Cleric of Set, S9 I15 W17 D10 C8 Ch15. AC 5 (chain mail), C5, hp 21, MV 90'\,(30'), Att mace, D 1--6, Save C5, ML 11, AL C.
He can cast the following spells: Protection from Good, Cause Fear, Snake Charm, Hold Person.
\end{ifbasicstats}
\begin{ifadvancedstats}
Snefru-hotep, Cleric of Set, S9 I15 W17 D10 C8 Ch15. AC 5 (chain mail), C5, hp 21, MV 9", Att mace, D 2--7, AL LE.
He can cast the following spells: Protection from Good, Cause Fear, Cause Light Wounds ($\times 2$), Darkness,
Snake Charm, Hold Person, Slow Poison, Spiritual Hammer, Speak with Animals, Animate Dead, Curse.
\end{ifadvancedstats}
\end{statblockfreestyle}

\noindent When using \verb|statblockfreestyle|, the rpg-module class provides \verb|ifbasicstats| and \verb|ifadvancedstats| macros to specify separate
stat blocks for different RPG systems.

The rest of this document shows a full example of how an adventure can be typeset using the rpg-module class.

\subsection*{Start}

\begin{boxtext}
You have traveled across the desert for many days. Ahead in the distance you can see a large stone
structure rising above the sand.
\end{boxtext}

The structure is the fabled Temple of Set. Within, the evil priests of Set plan world domination.
A tribe of gnolls revere the site and guard the outer precincts.

\subsection{The Portico} % Key 1
\label{portico}

The gnolls do not live within the temple; their settlement is a short distance away. But every day they
send a small delegation to petition the priests and seek the power of Set. They will be hostile towards
strangers.

\begin{boxtext}
The building is made of cyclopean blocks of granite rising above the desert sands. You wonder how such
an edifice could have been constructed here, so far from any obvious habitation. Surely thousands of
workers---slaves in all probability---must have been employed in building it.

The facade of the edifice is some 150' across. Huge stone steps lead up to a portico, which is flanked
by six immense pillars.
\end{boxtext}

There are 13 steps, each 3' tall and thus difficult to climb. The pillars are embossed with heiroglyphs
which (could the players read them), tell the story of Set's rise to power, his conquests and the
bitter enmity which exists between him and his brother Osiris.

On the porch at the top of the stairs, a group of Gnoll petitioners keep watch. When they perceive
the party from afar, they will hide behind the pillars. As the party begin to mount the steps, they will
spring out and hurl their javelins (1d6+1 dmg). They are also armed with spiked clubs:

The gnolls each carry 1d4 ep and 2d10 cp.

On the porch, behind the pillars and not visible from below, are eight statues\ldots

%%%%% Page break and switch to one-column mode %%%%%

\onecolumninline{\part{Second Dungeon Level}

The rpg-module class allows you to switch between double- and single- column modes within your document. The
\texttt{\textbackslash onecolumn} command will cause a page break and switch to one-column mode. Likewise,
the \texttt{\textbackslash twocolumn} command will cause a page break and switch back to two-column mode.

To mix one- and two-column text on the same page, you have two options. The \texttt{\textbackslash onecolumninline}
command takes one parameter, which is the text to typeset in single-column mode. This command causes a page
break, typesets the single-column text at the top of the page, then continues in two-column mode as before. This
text has been set using \texttt{\textbackslash onecolumninline}.

The second option is to use the \texttt{onecolumnfloat} environment, which creates a \LaTeX~float the full width
of a page. This can be positioned using the usual float parameters, e.g. \texttt{[t]} for the top of the page
and \texttt{[b]} for the bottom. This option is most suitable where you want to have a table or ``sidebar'' text
which is separate from your main text body. You can float graphics in the same way using the
\texttt{figure*} environment, as we do for the map on p.\pageref{img:map}.

It is not possible to mix \texttt{\textbackslash onecolumninline} and \texttt{\textbackslash onecolumnfloat} on
the same page.

\begin{newmonster}{minion_set}\label{minion_set}%
Minions of Set serve their master, the god of evil and the night, with unswerving devotion. In combat, they
never need to check morale. They are the implacable enemies of the servants of Osiris and Horus.

In human form, the Minions of Set wear scaly black plate armour and weild curved khopesh swords. Once per
day, they can polymorph themselves into the form of a giant snake with a poisonous bite. Some minions can
transform themselves into cave bears, giant crocodiles or giant scorpions.
