[QUOTE="Empyreus, post: 2200066, member: 18034"] Hi there, publishers forum! I'm about to undertake a big project for my gaming group. I'm going to try to create a PHB-style player's guide for my players that includes the SRD stuff with all of our house rules. For the most part, I'll be creating a Word document that details the races and classes (adding a few homebrew ones), but I'm sure what the best way to handle feats and spells would be... I could type them all out plain old Word document-style too, but that doesn't seem to be very efficient, especially when I start adding spells to it later as we "discover" them in the game world. That'd be a heck of a lot of manual updating. I'd rather have a way to cross reference the spells and tie them to each class's spell lists, for example like the beginning of the spells chapter that gives a spell list and brief description of each spell for each class. It'd be much easier if I had a spreadsheet of all the spell data and did a form feed to create the spell chapter every time I printed it so I wouldn't miss anything, and that'd give me a data set other than a huge, huge laundry list of spells. So, long story short, how do you professionals organize the spells and/or feats when you're putting together a book? How do you keep track of each one, and make sure it's reflected on all of the applicable class lists? Any feedback or suggestions on organizing all that stuff would be great. Thank you!!
