2024-03-18

Last week with a few friends, we finally come together to play some Blades in The Dark.

While session zero was unfolding, the official character sheet, become a nuisance to use for all of us.

Let just say all of us are quite "blind" and the small text with the lack of good contrast aren't helping. There is also a lot of useless info that could be removed.

I won't describe little crank and nook of that process.

Let's just say, that it was my first time using typst instead of latex and it was fabulous journey.

There are also better articles to learn about designing process.
