vogelap got a reaction from Anklebuster in Creating Cards & Assets for Board Games?
Thanks for your wisdom and guidance, @Old Bruce. I really appreciate it -- you've kept me from exploring dead ends!
I don't completely understand what you meant when you suggested that a long text file might be a better approach than Merged Spreadsheet... I don't know of any function inside Affinity Publisher to use a long text file... (But then again, a book could be written about what I DON'T know about Publisher! ).
The idea of one massive spreadsheet with a bunch of columns (a set of columns for each section) seems logical to me... Then I just run it through the different templates which pick up the necessary cells for that section.
By way of explanation, I am using assets from a game we designed/developed that will be published later this year. This entire effort inside Affinity is so I can learn about data-driven game development (merging from spreadsheets instead of the bass-ackwards way the publisher is doing it now). There's no time limit or expectation for this Affinity effort since the current game is too far into production to make changing directions feasible. It's all for my learning!

vogelap got a reaction from iSprocket in Introduce Yourself
I have all three of the workbooks and find them fairly useful.
Granted, I have only a moderate amount of experience with DTP, and I am a complete novice in the other two.

Nope
Please don’t consider changing the way you do things Patrick.
Sounds like a promotion to me Dan Brooks.

vogelap got a reaction from walt.farrell in Numbered List -- make all BOLD?
Thank you @walt.farrell! You answered my question (and fast!) and I learned a few things...
I am still very new to Affinity Publisher. I used PageMaker a loooong time ago and DTP has progressed a lot since then. I'm reading the excellent Affinity Publisher Workbook every day...
Today I learned about the Paragraph panel and the Text Style panel to fix the issue I was having with bullets. Along the way, I learned about inline graphics and setting them to Baseline or Descender... Descender made my document look better, so I'm using that now!
Thanks again for your assistance.
