Point-of-interest Cards

[wishmerhill]

Hi. I'd love to see a way to design "point-of-interest" cards just like the one found on https://www.inchoatethoughts.com/dungeon-masters-guide-to-neverwinter (a card sample is https://www.inchoatethoughts.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/BeachedLeviathan-scaled.jpg ).

You can definitely do this using the package as a start, but it will likely never have the functionality out of the box. You will need to research the steps, but the easiest way would be to:

1. Set the page size to a half page with small margins.
2. Create a new pagestyle with cleared headers and footers (re-add the page background if you want it).
3. Set three columns.
4. Place a picture in the first column (its width can be bigger than \linewidth to cheat into the column separator
5. Place text in second column
6. Place a sidebar in the third column
7. Use Adobe Reader to print. It has a print method that lets you print multiple small pages onto a normal-sized page.
