Greetings, everyone!

As promised last week, the interactive PDF is now finished and ready for you to download and play with in its full glory.

I spent some time polishing the JavaScript, and I also revisited the Trait descriptions, summarizing them so they fit the layout more comfortably without (hopefully) losing flavor or clarity. I tweaked font sizes, spacing, and alignment, and I tested everything on both Windows and macOS—it’s working as intended.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: you’ll need a dedicated PDF reader for this to work.

The native Preview app on macOS and any browser-based PDF viewer (Chromium or otherwise) do not support JavaScript. You’ll want something like Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, or a similar desktop app. I also tested it using a free macOS app simply called PDF Viewer, and it worked brilliantly.

I didn’t consider making this mobile-friendly, simply because in my experience JavaScript-based PDFs and phone readers don’t get along very well. This is very much a desktop tool, and if you’re already the kind of person who enjoys working with tools like Obsidian or Notion to play or prep, having this single PDF open and being able to roll everything in one place should feel pretty great.

Also… I may or may not have hidden a small easter egg in there. Not that hidden, if I’m honest—but see if you can spot it. Let me know in the comments if you do.

If you find any bugs or odd behavior, tell me and I’ll fix it ASAP.

The interactive PDF lives on the same itch.io page where you downloaded the core book PDF (linked below). No new link, no extra code, no additional payment. Just make sure you’re logged in, go to your downloads, and you’ll see it there as an extra file (WWW_interactive.pdf).

One last side note: working on this interactive PDF was surprisingly enlightening in terms of what I want from the web app. It already sent me down a few experimental paths, sketching ideas and testing concepts—and that’s the next thing I’ll be working on. Hopefully, I’ll have something to show you soon.

That’s it for today.

Enjoy it, have a great weekend, and keep making weird things—now interactively.
