EPUBs for TTRPG Adventures
When I started publishing adventures last year, I decided to add EPUB and HTML versions to offer options accessible to screen reader users. I was curious about how many people actually use EPUBs to read adventures and Symbolic City put up a poll about it. 54% never use EPUBs while the rest sometimes do. But some of the comments mentioned that EPUB is very rarely an option.
My educational and professional background is in publishing and I’ve been working with EPUBs for over a decade at this point, so I thought I would share my workflow for putting together EPUBs for my adventures. My big caveat is that this workflow does require some comfort with your computer’s command line, or at least a willingness to learn. This method uses Pandoc. If you’re not trying to learn the command line, I also have sections on tools, formatting tips, and accessibility.
As a side-note, an EPUB is just a packaged website with an extra bit of metadata. It’s all just HTML and CSS.

Preparing the Manuscript
I write my adventures in Markdown using Obsidian. For PDF layout, I use Affinity Publisher. Once I’m done with the print layout, I go back to the manuscript and make any updates I made in Affinity to the manuscript. Ideally the manuscript should be final by the time it gets into Affinity, but there are always constraints when it comes to layout, so I usually have some edits to carry over.
Cross Reference Cleanup
In the manuscript, I include cross-references (hyperlinking mentions of monsters, room names, treasures, etc) and any art and maps as well. I make sure that these hyperlinks are all lowercase and have hyphens where spaces would be.
I make things like rooms, treasures, and monsters with their own headings, so they can be linked to. So for example, this is how I marked up a third-level heading for a dungeon room (A1 Statues Room).
### A1 Statues Room
(The # character indicates a heading level. So # is a top level heading, ## is a second level heading, and so on).
To link to this A1 Statues Room from our example, the spaces must be replaced by hyphens and the text must be lowercase. The example below follows markdown formatting:
Broken pottery. 3 backpacks: 3 stale rations, 3 torches.
Door north to [A1 Statue Room](#a1-statue-room).
The space replacement and lowercasing must be done because when Pandoc converts the manuscript to EPUB, this is how it will export the ID’s of the headings.
To make these links all lower case, you can use this find and replace regular expression:
\(#(.*?)\)
Replace with
\(#\L$1\)
Regular expressions are basically find and replace using variables. It can be easily researched online. You can use RegExPal to test them out.
Metadata
At the top of the manuscript, I add metadata:
---
title:
- type: main
text: ADD YOUR TITLE HERE
- type: subtitle
text: ADD A SUBTITLE HERE IF PRESENT
creator:
- role: author
ADD YOUR NAME
- role: illustrator
ADD AS MANY ROLES AS YOU LIKE
publisher: PUBLISHER NAME
rights: copyright 2024 YOUR NAME or any other license like Creative Commons goes here
lang: en-US
cover-image: cover.jpg
css: style.css
...
---
Running Pandoc
Make sure your manuscript, cover image, any referenced internal images, and stylesheets are in the same folder. In your command line, navigate to the folder. Run pandoc:
$ pandoc -o file.epub manuscript.md
Quality Assurance
Open up the exported EPUB file in the reading system of your choice. I use ibooks for this. Flip through it. Click through links. Make sure it looks like you want it to and that the links are working. Validate the EPUB using EPUBCheck and Ace by DAISY. Put it online!
Remediation
Sometimes you find errors and issues. I typically remediate EPUBs by unzipping the EPUB package and using a code editor. I use eCanCrusher (see the section EPUB Packaging) to unzip and Sublime Text to edit. There are other tools for editing EPUBs described below.
Appendix A: Tools
EPUB Packaging
- eCanCrusher. You can use this to unzip EPUB packages and edit their constituent parts, or zip a folder to make an EPUB package. You can use this to make manual edits to the EPUB. The main difficulty of creating an EPUB is making the OPF metadata file. It’s such a tedious little file that should’ve been replaced by JSON a long time ago and that’s mostly what you’re automating with Pandoc.
- Kindle Previewer. Kindle formats are like EPUBs but worse and not open source. Kindle Previewer creates a Kindle file once you run the conversion.
- InDesign has a much improved EPUB export. It used to be trash.
- Google Docs has an EPUB export! It does a decent job.
EPUB Editors
- Sigil. I used to use this in my first job like 11 years ago. Not sure how it functions now, but it worked well enough back then.
- Calibre. I do not like Calibre, but it’s been like 10 years since I’ve used it and some people swear by it, so I’ve added it.
Desktop EPUB Readers
- Adobe Digital Editions is trash.
- iBooks is fine.
- Thorium
- Is Readium still a thing?
- Maybe get an e-reader instead. I have a BOOX and a Kobo.
Validators
EPUBCheck and Ace by DAISY are the industry standard validation tools, both maintained by a single developer, it’s wild.
- EPUBChecker is my favorite GUI for EPUBCHECK. I know it’s in German, but there’s an English tab. Unless you speak German, in which case you can stay on the German tab.
- Ace by DAISY has its own GUI. I’m still waiting for this issue to get resolved, but again, it’s just one guy and I hope you’re not using MathML in your adventures.
- Make sure the styles in your EPUB pass color contrast. Use WebAIM’s contrast checker. This is also useful when making any art that contains text or information. Make sure that color is not the only thing that is indicating something. Use other visual cues for people with colorblindness.
Appendix B: Accessibility
Alt Text and Extended (or Long) Descriptions
Alt text should be a reasonable substitute for an image. Note that the common recommendation for alt text is around 125 characters.
125 characters is way too short for a map, so for my EPUBs, I write extended descriptions. I either put these in a details HTML element after the image or provide a link explicitly stating that there is an extended description. It’s not just people with visual impairments that can benefit from a description of a map.
Use rich formatting in extended descriptions. By that I mean, use multiple paragraphs, lists, tables, and even subheadings. The reason people recommend 125 characters for alt text is because a screen reader user usually can’t navigate inside of a line of alt text. Using an extended description, you can provide a rich navigational experience using lists, paragraphs, and subheadings.
Try describing the map like a diagram. Here are some guides to authoring alt text.
Extended Description Tips
Start a new paragraph when introducing a new idea.
For complex images, consider the clock face approach: Starting at the top of the image for 12:00, describe each element clockwise. Because extended descriptions are also available to sighted users who may have difficulty parsing complex diagrams, this method may be helpful for referencing different sections of the image.
For diagrams or room descriptions, consider nested lists. For example:
- Room 12: The Kitchen
- Backpack
- 2 rations, 1 dagger
- Backpack
Consider using tables to represent datasets in a map. For example,
| Room | Treasure | Monster |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Golden goose statuette | 300 Geese |
| 2 | The friends we made along the way | Envy |
Extended Description Example
Here is an excerpt from the EPUB and HTML version of my adventure The Devil’s Millhopper. This is the extended description for the map.
Extended description for the Map of the Limestone Pits
- Fossil Cave. 30 by 20 foot room, irregular. Dry. Connects to room 3a by a ledge.
- The Devil's Millhopper. Funnel. 40 by 50 circular room, completely underwater. Branches off to three tunnels, rooms 3a, 3b, and 3c.
- Three tunnels branching off from the Devil's Millhopper, room 2.
- Completely underwater room. 20 by 30 foot room, irregular. Connects to The Devil's Millhopper, room 2, and room 1, the Fossil Cave, via a ledge.
- Completely underwater room. 20 by 10 foot room, irregular. Connects to The Devil's Millhopper, room 2, and room 6, the Root Chamber, via a ledge.
- Completely underwater room. 20 by 20 foot room, irregular. Connects to The Devil's Millhopper, room 2, and room 4, Floatsam Cave, via a tunnel.
- Floatsam cave. Completely underwater room. 30 by 30 foot irregular room. Wooden planks and barrels float on the surface. Connects to 3c Underwater Tunnel through a tunnel, room 5 the Square Chamber via a ledge, and room 7 Lower Flooded Chamber via a locked door.
- Square Chamber. 25 by 25 foot square room. Connects to room 4 Flotsam Cave by a ledge and room 6 the Root Chamber by a 50 foot corridor.
- Root chamber. 30 by 20 foot irregular room. Connects to 3b Underwater tunnel by a ledge. Contains a statue in the top left (northwest) corner. Connects to room 11, the Gator Pit, by a secret door and short staircase down. Connects to room 5, Square chamber, via a 50 foot corridor.
Inset: A side view: The Devil's Millhopper funnel (room 2) opens up at the bottom to the underwater tunnels (rooms 3a and 3c), showing them completely underwater. The Tunnel 3a leads to room 1, which is on dry land. The tunnel 3c leads to room 4, which is also underwater but has space above to breathe. A locked door leads to room 7.
Full disclosure, I don’t know how well I did on this one. I’m happy to take any feedback for any alt text or extended descriptions in my adventures.
Alternatives to Extended Descriptions
Another viable method is to extend the room descriptions in your dungeons in the EPUB version. Since there are no print constraints, you can include things like connections and dimensions that you may have eschewed in the print version and relied on the map for.
Appendix C: Formatting Tips
Tables
Tables! Don’t make them too complicated. Navigating a table with a screen reader can be difficult. Usually adventure tables are pretty straightforward though so this shouldn’t be too much of a problem. If a table gets really big though, consider breaking it up.
Heading Hierachy
Remember that headings do not indicate importance. They indicate hierarchy and nesting. A screen reader user can navigate between headings, so if there are any skipped headings (for example, there is an h3 (that is, a heading of level 3) nested directly under an h1 without an h2 in between), the screen reader is unable to access that h3!
Drop Caps
Drop caps are cool! They’re not in the CSS I included but if you want to add them, use the first-letter pseudo-class. Do not use spans. These break up the word for screen reader users. For example,
<p><span class="dropcap">T</span>his</p>
will be read as “T, his” rather than “This” by a screen reader. Do not break up words using spans.
CSS
Unzipping the EPUB package will let you see all of the HTML and CSS. I have included the CSS I use in my books below.
It’s based on some custom rules I came up with, Pandoc’s default styles, most of which I removed, and Jiminy Panoz’s Blitz CSS framework which was sunsetted back in 2020. The Blitz styles are still fine to use, I just wasn’t able to find a more recent EPUB CSS framework. The classes used in Blitz would have to be manually added in some way, but they’re all there for you to pick and choose. None are exported by default in the Pandoc export, but the element level styles are all retained.
Maybe someday I’ll make an adventure-specific EPUB CSS framework. That could be neat. Basic CSS for stat blocks and the like.

It all started as a normalize and became a reset given the magnitude of the task.
