Best Software for Drafting Rules for a TTRPG rulebook? - NOT Designing
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

Hello All! I have seen a lot of posts asking best software for designing rule books, but I am looking for the best software to quickly edit the raw text and rules/mechanics of my game, no images, no photos, no design elements at all, just raw text and some simple row/column tables.

I have 3 core rulebooks for my TTRPG and each is at least 200 pages. We have been using Google Docs and reached its character limit and so if I work with my business partner using Google Docs "Suggestions" or even rewrite and replace a text straight up, the google doc has a high chance to completely crash. :( We both have great computers with 32gb ram that can play newer games just fine so its not a computer issue its a known limit of google docs we found out about the hard way.

We aren't sure what other software to use where we both can be in a doc at the same time and edit rules/mechanics together collaboratively and remotely. We are probably a year away from hiring a professional designer to actually go in and design our books so the focus is in raw text editing and playtesting/tweaking our mechanics.

Thank you for reading and your time!

If you're doing all plain text, I'm tempted to recommend using github, if you're comfortable with that sort of thing
