Can you tell me more about the benefits of those formats? I'll look into making versions, it can't be too hard.

Both formats make it easier to read and access more devices. Just for myself I also most always have my phone but 50 year old eyes can’t easily read type on a Letter/A4 or Statement/A5 PDF. 

There are also notebook apps like Obsidian that use Markdown. I keep a collection of MD RPG files, rules, random tables, adventures and notes.

And I sometimes make printed notebooks for the table like Fieldnotes 5e notebooks. Having the rules already in MD saves a lot of time.

there are ways to go from MD to ePub or PDF.

I followed those guides to make both ePub and MD versions of The Lurking Fear. I'm more of a writer than a dev by skill, but it wasn't too difficult and it was fun to learn something new. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've added the ePub version to the main itch page. The MD version is only available on this blog post because I wanted to avoid confusion, but I could put it on the frontpage if I ever had enough demand:

Thanks!!! Glad it was fun  


The MD version doesn’t download. 

It looks like I can't have files download from a blog post on itch, only from the main page. I've gone ahead and added the Markdown to the main page after all, since that seems like the only way.

thanks
