Create Tabletop Rulebook with InDesign: ToC

A Layout Design guide on how to create them.

This is the first introductory post for my Rulebook design guide. I’ve decided to published my rough writing on my blog post for free since I’ve never created an actual course of manual before. This will be a test and also a resource for those seeking help in a blog post format. I’m also adding a couple of posts for References and a Glossary for those who need some extra information.
