Adding Images, Icons and Inline icons

Last step is to put on all the images and other artwork to the Rules. Some Rules might have several images, and some of the shorter one’s might not have any.

Adding Images

For the images you might use different sources:

1) Screen capturing from the Tutorial. (Note, change the background in the tutorial to WHITE if you do this!) See image below.

2) Using raw assets from the Publisher

3) Creating art yourself (such as arrows etc.)

If you haven't already, drag the image modules in place and open up the Asset Explorer by clicking them.

Adding Icons

Each Rule and Category can feature an icon, which should match the concept or item(s) it refers to in order to provide a visual clue to the content. The Default icon is a star, and can be changed just by clicking on it almost anywhere in the Rules Creation Tool.

Standard Icons

We provide a free icon library (https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1SfyJJjx5bQLQXvXLmVElv8oKStdF8bAz) that you can use with your games. Just download them to your computer and upload it through the asset manager to a suitable folder. There's a collection of 2-color icons and full color icons as well, depending on your needs.

Custom Icons

However, your game may have concepts, items, or symbols, etc. that may not be adequately covered by the generic icons of the basic library. We encourage that things like game-specific runes, sigils, symbols, etc. should be represented with icons in the rulebook whenever possible.

Icons are created at no less than 256 pixels by 256 pixels. You can create the icons as .png files, or if possible, use vector artwork, exported as bitmap.

NOTE: If you’re using icons found from the Web, make sure you’re absolutely certain that you have ALL the necessary rights to use them. That's why we strongly suggest using the one’s provided by Dized or creating your own!

Adding Inline Icons

Just like in your rulebook, icons and symbols can be inserted in Rules texts to refer to common aspect of the game, like Health Points, Resources, Actions…
