Tools

Dungeon World was created in InDesign. The main fonts used are Adobe Minion Pro, Newcomen, and Archemy.

The original text was written entirely in XML to be imported into the book layout, the character sheet layout, and various other formats. Working in plaintext allowed us to map to all kinds of different layouts as well as versioning the files using Git and Github.

We developed Dungeon World a bit like you develop software, so the Github bug tracker and Dropbox were key tools in making the game a reality.
