List of...
So Initially I am looking to create a list of NPCs.
Now I know I can create individual NPC and then when I put there name in a text box it will link to them, but rather than a text box, wondering if there is a "list" object where they will appear in a list format? thanks EDIT: I did just see/find an element which has a table in it, though not sure how to create one. I do see I can paste from WORD into RW which will maintain the table, but can I create a table from scratch? |

If you are asking how to create a table, there are table tools when you go into edit mode. Afterwards, when table is selected you have Table Tools for further layout work. Screenshots attached

Very cool, thanks
I hadn't seen them because I never went to format tab when editing. |
How so? The interface switches automatically in almost all cases when you start to edit text snippet.

Not sure, I haven't done a lot of editing, but when I clicked edit sniptet, it did not switch. Had to manually select it.

Were you thinking that the table would be in a central topic, rather than the topic specific to each location? What would be in each column of the table? If you want a list local to each location, then a simple bullet point list of NPCs who might frequent the bar could also be used (in the NPC's topic, you would then see an outgoing link on the right column that relates to the bar's location). |

I've done this a number of ways. Usually, I'll create a cast list, using either bullets or a table with text linked to topics with details about the individuals.
With more complicated cast list, such as bandit groups that may have multiple personalities of note, I'll use a Group List and I create a section header for each bandit group, set to collapse by default, so it will look something like this when I open it: Attachment 6444 I don't alwasy set the section to collapse by default as the Table of Contents makes it easy to see the list and jump to a specific section. Either way, this gives me a quick list of groups and individuals. In the section I'll have a brief summary. The herolap snippet not only gives me a quick way to pull the stats into Hero Lab, but the snippet title is autolinked to the topic page for the individual or group. Attachment 6445 Again, I don't do this for every cast list as this much detail is not always needed, but with more complex organization I find it a very convenient way to organize important groups and individuals. |
