某 TTRPG 规则书更新 0.8.0

This is a major update, addressing playtest feedback to draft 0.7 graciously provided by the A.N.I.M. TTRPG Book Club and substantially expanding several chapters. A complete list of changes follows; all page numbers refer to the PDF version.

General

Random character generator refactored to remove external dependencies; it should now be possible to run it from a local device without encountering cross-site scripting errors. The generator is now included in the core rulebook book zipfile.
(PDF only) When table rows contain links, the entire table row is now clickable, not just the text in the main column.
(PDF only) Table rows containing page references now list the page number in a separate column.
(PDF only) Fixed table rendering issues in Chromium-based browsers which could cause table background gradients to render incorrectly and/or table border decorations to become misaligned from their content.
(Gourmet Edition PDF only) Increased lightness of chapter accent colours for better readability of boxed sidebars and alternate table rows.
Various formatting and typographic fixes.
