The Rules Tool is an important component of the Dized™ Portal. Here you can document, categorize, update, cross reference and create FAQ questions for the Rules of your game(s) .

Here you will find basic concepts and steps that can help you get a good understanding of the overall Rules authoring process.

General Guidelines

● Basic rulebook writing guidelines apply to each rule you create for the Dized Rules (e.g., good clarity, punctuation, and structure).

● Use your rulebook as a guide on how to create your rules. Creating the Rules is mostly just dissecting the existing rulebook, not writing rules from scratch.

● We strongly recommend that you use they/their or “player” in place of gendered pronouns when creating your rules. Using gendered pronouns may result in a rejection from us during the review process.

Settings

Under the tab Settings, you’ll find a few settings for the Rules you’re currently working on. At this stage the text options does not affect anything, and they’re used more for an internal reference.

The master language of the project needs to be set here, as all localizations are based on this. Make sure to pick the correct one!

● Version name: This field will be used to keep track of different version of the same Rules (new edition, localizations…)
● Internal Ref: This can be freely used for any internal reference name or number useful to the content creators
● Default Language: Master Language of the Rules, that all localizations are based on.
